We’ll be celebrating with fun daily themes to encourage attendance:

Grade levels will compete to have the best attendance percentage during Spirit Week. The winning grade level will earn a prize, and the top class overall will receive a Superstar Attendance Trophy and a grade level celebration!

How You Can Help:

  • Ensure your child gets enough rest and arrives at school on time.
  • Schedule appointments outside school hours when possible.
  • Encourage your child to participate in our fun Spirit Week activities!

Thank you for your continued support in making Attendance Month a success! Let’s work together to make sure every student is present and ready to learn.

We can’t wait to see your child at school every day!

Parkside Music Program Feature in Spectrum News Story

We are thrilled to share some exciting news that celebrates the vibrant arts program here at Parkside! Recently, our school was featured in a Spectrum News story about the importance of arts in education. You can check out the full video here.

At Parkside, we believe that the arts play a critical role in nurturing creativity, confidence, and collaboration in our students. Whether it's through music, visual arts, or theater, we see the arts as a key part of helping our students grow both academically and personally. Our talented students, dedicated teachers, and supportive community make this possible every day.

We are incredibly proud of our students and staff for their dedication to keeping the arts alive and thriving at Parkside. Thank you, families, for your continued support of the arts. Together, we are shaping well-rounded learners who will pave the way to a bright future!
