A plural noun names more than one person, place, or thing.

A possessive noun shows who or what owns something or has something.

Add an apostrophe and -s ('s) to a singular noun to make it a possessive noun.

Matt → Matt's glove

the bird → the bird's wings

When a plural noun ends in -s, just add an apostrophe (') to make it a possessive noun.

the boys → the boys' camp

the schools → the schools' teams

When a plural noun does not end in -s, add an apostrophe and -s ('s) to make it a possessive noun.

the children → the children's toys

the mice → the mice's tails

Parents' should be parents, which is a plural noun. A plural noun does not use an apostrophe.
