LOST AND FOUND

Parents, could you please check our lost and found. We have over 20 lost coats, many hats, gloves, scarves and lost lunch boxes. Please claim your items by Friday, April 27th . We will be boxing all of the lost items and donating them to charity.

SCHOOLREACH SYSTEM UPDATE

There is no reason to worry if you miss a SchoolReach call, because you can now retrieve the message.

Beginning in February, the toll-free number
855-955-8500 will appear in caller-ID for all SchoolReach calls placed in Unit 5. When this number shows up
on your caller-ID, it is the school district or school
trying to contact you.

You can call the toll-free Message Retrieval Line –
1-855-955-8500 – from any direct-dial phone that received a SchoolReach message. At the time you dial
in, you can choose the option to hear the last message sent or up to the last 30 days of messages.

As always, if you need to change your contact information, please go through your child’s school.

For more information go to your www.unit5.org or www.schoolreach.com.

SHOW OFF YOUR PARKSIDE PRIDE

The PTO has a great way to show off your Parkside Penguin Pride- with a car magnet! Just send $5 along with your child to school in an envelope marked PTO magnet and we'll send you a magnet with your child in a few days.

NEWS & UPDATES

What is Scrip?

Scrip is just another word for gift card or gift certificate.

The program is designed to generate money for Parkside Elementary through the sale of gift cards. Gift cards are offered in a variety of denominations. If you want to buy a twenty-five dollar gift card you pay $25.00. Then, each company donates a different amount back to the school (anywhere from 1 to 25 % of the face value of the card).

There are hundreds of options to choose from. Give it a try!

For more information about what cards Scrip offers visit their website www.glscrip.com.
For order due dates, check out the link to the left called PTO General Information.
