Parker Unified Schedules Elementary Conferences Feb. 5, High School Feb. 12

Parker Unified School District is holding districtwide elementary parent-teacher conferences today, giving families across La Paz County a scheduled opportunity to discuss academic progress and school supports with teachers. The district calendar and Blake Primary School both list "Parent-Teacher Conferences - February 5, 2026," confirming the districtwide timing.

Blake Primary School, at 701 Navajo Avenue in Parker, is marking the week with multiple events. The school lists a "BOOK FAIR - 02/02/26 thru 02/06/26" that runs through the conference day and has "Classroom & Spring Photos February 12th , 2026" on the calendar. Blake also promotes a "Parent-Teacher Chat app" with the line "Say "Hello" to Parent-Teacher Chat" and shows community items such as "Family BINGO NIGHT" and "Congratulations Super Bees of the Month of December !!" Principal Melissa Taylor is listed on the Blake site with contact mtaylor@parkerusd.org; school office phone is 928-669-8203 and email anramirez@parker.org.

For district governance and scheduling context, the district Spotlight page lists "Governing Board Regular Meeting February 11th @ 6pm. Location Ronald C. Curnutt Library at the Parker High School." High school parent-teacher conferences are scheduled for February 12, 2026, matching the district calendar; Blake Primary's photo date also falls on Feb. 12. These clustered dates mean families with students across grade levels should note multiple appointments and events in the same two-week window.

Parker Unified posts basic district metrics that matter for budget and staffing context: "6 Schools" organized as one K-2 elementary, one 3-5 elementary, one K-8 elementary, one middle school, one high school and one alternative high school; "1701 Currently Enrolled (as of 1/9/2026)"; "286 Dedicated Staff"; and "10 Years Average Number of Years of Teaching Experience." The district mission statement appears on the website: "The mission of Parker Unified School District is to provide comprehensive, success-oriented learning activities for young people in our schools. These opportunities are designed to develop the student's potential in the areas of academic ability and vocational awareness, cultural appreciation, physical well-being, social development, and community contribution."
