Welcome to Parkside Elementary

Book Exchange

March is Reading Month, and we’ve been hard at work planning exciting activities to inspire and motivate our students to read! One of the highlights will be a Book Exchange, giving students the chance to pick out a new-to-them book to enjoy.

If you have any gently used books that you'd like to donate, we’d love to add them to the exchange! Donations can be sent to the office at any time. Thank you for helping us foster a love of reading!

Handicap Parking Spots

We want to remind everyone that the first three parking spots in our lot are designated handicap parking spaces and are reserved for individuals with a valid handicap parking pass. These spaces are essential for families and visitors who require accessibility accommodations to ensure that everyone has the access they need.  

If you have a relative or helper dropping off a student,  please communicate the appropriate drop-off parking areas and procedures to them.  

We appreciate your cooperation in creating an inclusive and respectful environment for our school.  

Parkside Happenings

Just a reminder that Wednesday is an early release (1:30) and Friday is Student Council Dress Fancy Day.
