Reporting Covid Update
Schools and families are no longer required to report positive COVID-19 cases after May 11. The COVID-19 dashboard will also no longer be updated. This change is related to the end of the COVID-19 federal public health emergency.
5th Grade Student Survey
In the spring, students in grades 5-13 will be asked to complete the annual WCPSS Student Engagement Survey. Your child will be given an opportunity to complete this survey during the school day.
The survey includes questions about teacher-student relationships, relevance of school work, future aspirations and goals, and civic engagement.
The results of this survey help schools monitor their School Improvement Plans, and help the district track student perceptions about their educational experiences.
You can review the questions included on this survey. Review results of the survey from previous years.
If you have any questions about when the survey will be completed, or if you would prefer your child not complete the survey, please contact your child’s school teacher.
If you have any questions concerning the content of the survey, please contact the Wake County Public School’s Data, Research, and Accountability Department at wcpssdataaccountab@wcpss.net
Thank you for your continued partnership.

EOY Attendance Reminder - Please Read Carefully
As we approach the end of the school year, it is very important that students are present at school. Teachers will continue to have testing, assessments, and other activities so that students are reaching their grade level benchmark and achieving academic standards. Per WCPSS policy, students must be present for the last 10 days of school or they may be subject to withdrawal by the county. If this occurs, parents will have to re-register their student for the 2023-24 school year. Placement at Parkside is not guaranteed due to our enrollment cap; therefore, students may be placed at Adams Elementary and added to the Parkside waitlist. As a reminder, the last day of school is June 28, 2023. Attendance is required even if students have completed their EOG Testing.
If you have any questions, please contact Parkside’s Principal, Mr. Hudson, or Social Worker, Ms. Russ.
Volunteer Registration Reminder
Just a reminder that Volunteer Registration is now permitted off site instead of being required to sign up at a WCPSS school to become a volunteer.
