Welcome to Primary Plans by Paris!

Hey-O! I’m Paris Payton from Primary Plans by Paris. I grew up in the small southern town of Heber Springs, Arkansas. Education runs in my family. My great-grandmother was a principal, both my grandparents were teachers, and my dad spent time as a newspaper’s education editor. They have instilled in me a love of learning and always adapting to what’s new.

I have over eight years of para-“non”professional experience across elementary grades. I’ve taught one semester of ELA in Fifth Grade and two years of Kindergarten in Fort Myers, Florida. I’m now working on my third year as a First Grade teacher. I attended Edison State College (now Florida SouthWestern State College) and graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University in 2017.

When I’m not doing all things teaching, I love to travel. It’s great to explore a new place, learn about the culture, and eat all the food.
