Also, just a friendly reminder to send in your order form and money for guest lunches by 5/7 if you would like one.  

Walk, Bike, Roll to School is May 7th!  Let's get those kiddos moving and enjoy some outdoor movement before/after school!  

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!  

A few highlights next week:

LET THE READING FUN BEGIN!  

Saving Winslow questions:

Do you think that animals have a healing effect on people?  What examples can you think of to support your opinion?

What do you do when you are missing a family member or friend?  

Big decisions are made each day by the kiddos for lunch....please let them know the changes below so they can make an informed decision!:
