Welcome to Miss Parrish's Counselor Corner
Greetings!
Thank you for visiting the Counselor's Corner. My name is Miss Parrish, and this will be my 5th year at Moxee Elementary. I am here to support the academic, social and emotional needs of all Moxee students! I know we are living in a very stressful time, I will add resources that parents and families may find helpful. I will also add any upcoming events that we will be participating in here at Moxee.
If you have any questions or other needs, please contact me via email or phone.

If you see something, say something.
