An 11-hour day on the set in Los Angeles includes three hours studying with a tutor. California requires work permits for child performers, who must maintain a minimum grade of C in all subjects. A minimum of a B in each subject is required for theater work. Parrish must also keep up with her assignments and homework at Moanalua Elementary as well. She does so via fax.
