Hello Parkside Families,
December is in full swing and Winter Break will be here before we know it! Our First Trimester ended last week. Report Cards will be available on Skyward on December 14th, so be sure to login and review your child's progress.
This month, we are thankful for the parent volunteers who decorated our school into a winter wonderland! We also appreciate the help of the parents that volunteered to help with the Holiday Shop. Since we have asked for volunteers, we have fielded many questions about clearances. If you would like to come into school during the day to help out when needed, and do not have volunteer clearances on file with the district, please

The Band and Chorus Concert will be held on Tuesday, December 14th at 7:00. Mrs. Deni and Mr. Orlando have a ticket sign up for those who have a child performing. In order to maintain spacing and safety, only families with a child participating will receive tickets for the event. We look forward to hearing and seeing our student's perform in person!
Beginning on December 17th until December 23rd, we will have spirit days. Please see the list below so that your child may participate;
Friday 12/17--Don't Sweat December--Wear Sweats
Monday 12/20--Be Holly Jolly--Wear Red
Tuesday 12/21--Don't be a Grinch, but--Wear Green
Wednesday 12/22--Wear your Ugly Holiday Sweater
Thursday 12/23--Polar Express us to winter break--Wear PJs (regular shoes please, NO SLIPPERS)
Finally, it is winter and is 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 unless the temperature falls below freezing. 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 then 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.
Mrs. Young
