Parmalee Elementary School: Where Every Child Shines Nestled in the beautiful foothills of Evergreen, Colorado, Parmalee Elementary School is a close-knit neighborhood school committed to nurturing the whole child. Parmalee serves students from Kindergarten through 5th grade, providing a strong academic foundation while fostering creativity, critical thinking, and character development. At Parmalee, we believe that every child has unique talents and potential. Our dedicated teachers and staff work closely with students and families to create a supportive environment where children feel seen, valued, and empowered to succeed. 

Our small class sizes allow for more personalized instruction and stronger relationships, ensuring that each student receives the attention and encouragement they need to thrive. Academic excellence is at the heart of Parmalee’s mission. We offer a rigorous and engaging curriculum aligned with state standards, incorporating innovative teaching strategies and hands-on learning opportunities. Our students excel in core subjects like literacy, math, science, and social studies, and also benefit from enriching programs in art, music, physical education, technology, and library sciences. Beyond the classroom, Parmalee provides a variety of leadership opportunities, including Student Council and mentoring programs, helping students develop confidence and a sense of responsibility. 

Parmalee Elementary is proud of its strong partnership with families and the broader community. The Parmalee PTA is highly active, organizing a wide range of programs, events, and volunteer opportunities that enhance the school experience. From school carnivals and enrichment clubs to community service projects and teacher appreciation efforts, the PTA helps create a vibrant, welcoming environment for students, parents, and staff alike. We also emphasize the importance of social-emotional learning and character education. Our students are encouraged to embody core values such as kindness, perseverance, respect, and responsibility. Through initiatives like our Positive Behavior Support program and mindfulness practices, we work to create a positive school climate where students can learn, grow, and build strong friendships.
