Tuesday is Parkside PRIDE day- have students wear their Parkside/Ram wear to show their school spirit!  

M-STEP testing will begin when we return from break.  Students in the 3rd - 5th will take this test online. We are scheduling the test in smaller chunks (max 45 min.) to give students a better testing experience.  As we get closer to the testing dates, your child’s teacher will communicate more information regarding M-STEP.  

Please help us by making sure your child is in school on the testing days. We ask that appointments and days off be scheduled to avoid the dates below.  Please encourage your children to do their best, as the outcome of these tests helps guide our instruction in the future. Please contact the office or your child’s teacher with questions regarding the M-STEP. Thank you for all you do to ensure student success here at Parkside!  

We are kicking off reading month!  Books, calendars, and bookmarks should be home today!
