A Message from the Principal

Mustang Pride!
Happy Friday!
What a FUN week of learning we have had at Parkside! The students had so much fun dressing up as their favorite book characters and visiting with the authors on Thursday! Literacy day was full of fun learning with a focus on all things literacy: reading, writing, listening, and speaking!
Our kindergartners enjoyed time carving pumpkins with their special guests! The faces of the students as they touched the ooey-gooey insides of the pumpkins were hilarious to see! Thank you to our kindergarten team for hosting such a fun and memorable event for our students and families.
A special thanks to the First Responders who came to visit campus on Monday! We were so happy to have your presence on campus and to honor your service. THANK YOU!
Parents, please note that the only safe, acceptable places to drop off/pick up students from school are in the clearly marked drop off/pick up lanes on school grounds. Please do not drop students off on the sides of the road as this is NOT safe and causes potential for accidents. Also, cars are NOT permitted to drive up and drop students off in the bus lanes. Cars will not be allowed to pass the crossing guard at the bottom of the bus lane. There are not teachers or other staff members located in that area to ensure students are safe. We appreciate your understanding as we enforce these school rules.
Don't forget to join us for our Beautification Day/Garden Clean Up on Saturday from 9am-12pm. We need LOTS of help to make our campus BEAUTIFUL! Bring a jacket and gloves!
There is NO SCHOOL on Monday, November 4th!
We hope you all have a great weekend!
Lauren, Maggie, & Erin
