A reminder about Arrival and Dismissal Procedures
Arrival:
School begins at 7:40 a.m. Parents are not permitted to walk children to class after 7:30 a.m. to ensure focused instruction in classrooms. If you are planning to walk your child to class, please plan to arrive prior to 7:30 a.m. and exit the school building by 7:40 a.m.
School ends at 2:25 p.m. We ask all families that have students that do not ride a bus to use our car rider line procedures to ensure safe connection and most efficient dismissal. If you have a scheduled appointment and need to pick your child up in the office area, please contact the office prior to dismissal at 633-4460 or send a note in with your child. Parents that walk into the office at dismissal will be required to wait until the car rider line has completed before children can leave unless prior notification has been received.

At Southside Attendance Works!
Coming Soon!
Southside Elementary and the Southside Family Resource Center will be partnering with an attendance initiative called Attendance Works to raise awareness of how absent days and tardies affect a student's learning. The Southside staff are invested in making the most of each day that we have our students with us to help them grow academically and as a person. To do that students need to be at school and on time.
Why it Matters: If students don't show up for school or are chronically late to school they miss out on fundamental skills and the chance to build a habit of good attendance that will carry them into college and careers.
What families can do: Build in regular routines for bedtime and the morning; Talk to your child about the importance of regular attendance and how your child feels about school; Don't permit missing school unless your child is truly sick; Avoid medical appointments and extended trips when school is in session; Develop backup plans for getting to school on time if something comes up; Seek support from school staff or community groups to help with supporting your child and the family with attendance.
Southside is always open to ways that we can help! Please watch for communication home about Attendance Works and ways that you may be able to be involved!
Any questions concerning our District Attendance Policy please contact Southside at 502-633-4460 and ask to speak to Mrs. Krauss or Mrs. Cathcart.
