Get ready, Parkside families! Our Boosterthon fundraiser is kicking off on October 30th for tracks 2 and 4 and November 12 for tracks 1 and 3! This year’s goal is to raise $20,000 to support our cultural arts programs and PTA events. All students will participate, and everyone can help out by sharing or giving. Let's come together to make this Fun Run a huge success! Visit mybooster.com to register your student today. Thank you for supporting our Sandpipers!
Thank You For Making Trunk or Treat and Movie Night a Success!
A huge thank you to everyone who came out for Trunk or Treat and Movie Night! We had an amazing turn out, and it was so much fun to engage with our community. The whole night could not have happened without the countless PTA volunteers who helped with planning, set up, and working the event. We have the best PTA!
Absentee Notes
When your child is absent, please be sure that you are sending in notes or emails to the teacher so that they can code reasons for absences correctly in PowerSchools. If there is ever a discrepancy please reach out to us so we can help you! Also, please know we are required to send home official letters once students have six or ten unexcused absences.
Kindergarten Registration for the 25-26 School Year is Now Open
Register your rising kindergartener here: https://www.wcpss.net/Page/33753 Please be sure to choose the correct year.
After you complete the online enrollment, you will hear from our Data Manager, Kelly Cox Jones, with the next steps.
Keeping Students Safe on the Internet
Thank you so much to all of you as parents who are closely monitoring your children’s use of devices on the internet and social media. The negative impact that unsupervised use has on young children is a growing concern. Be sure to check out the WCPSS Resource Page. If you scroll down under the main photo, you will see a computer labeled Digital Resources. There is a variety of context that may be helpful for you on digital safety and resources for parents. On this page, you'll find documentation on how parents can set up filtering on school devices (Digital Resources > Online Safety at School > Parental Control Solutions).
