Hello Parkside Families,
October went quickly, our school year is in full swing! We celebrated Proud of Me Day to close out Red Ribbon Week. Our students reflected on what is important to them in order to become the best versions of themselves in the future. Also, we focused on how reflecting on talents, hobbies, and interests can help build self-esteem and set goals for personal growth. It was a great day, with a lot of great outfits and stories--we learned a lot about each other from a creative and personal viewpoint. School is more than academics, and all of our Panthers bring something to our school community that makes it special!
This week is Book Fair in the Library! Student brought home order forms last week and classes will be visiting the Book Fair with their class. Students and parents may also shop together on Wednesday night before the PTL meeting! See your teacher's Schoology for their class shopping time.
Next up for important events--CONFERENCES! Please see your child's teacher's Schoology for the link to sign up for a conference if you have not done so already! Conferences may be done on Zoom or in-person, so please note your preference. Conferences are on 11/22 (day/evening) & 11/23 (day).
Finally, it is beginning to get cold outside! Please make sure that you are encouraging your child to dress in layers. Students should be prepared to spend 25 minutes a day outside at recess. Please make sure that your child is dressed appropriately. Also, please refrain from sending your child to school before 8:40 am--the doors do not open until them and we do not want students waiting outside in the cold weather!
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me via phone or email.
