Welcome to Miss Parrish's Counselor Corner
Greetings!
Thank you for visiting the Counselor's Corner. My name is Miss Parrish, and this is my 7th 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.
