WELCOME TO THE HOME OF THE PARKSIDE PENGUINS                                                   REMEMBER TO BE RESPECTFUL, RESPONSIBLE, AND SAFE!!

Parkside goes the distance with reading!!

Our "Keys to Comprehension" program has been a great success this year. Students have shared their mastery in the classroom, in their area classes, and outside of school as well. Students that have completed all of their keys will be rewarded with a movie TBD on Friday, May 16.

Parkside Unlocks the Magic of Reading

Last years math facts goals were a great success here at Parkside. This year we are focusing on reading for our school improvement plan. Students will be introduced each month to a new "Key to Comprehension," and will have the opportunity to master that key skill and earn prizes. We are asking for parents to help us reach this goal by encouraging your students to complete their monthly take-home assignments.

NEWS & UPDATES

What is Scrip? Scrip is simply a word that means 'substitute money', in other words, scrips is a gift certificate from national and local retailers. The beauty of scrip is that you put your regular household shopping dollars to work. You earn money for our school without spending a single additional penny. Just spend your regular shopping dollars for about any household purchase including groceries, clothing, entertainment, gasoline, airfare, and dining out. Retailers sell us the gift certificates at a discount, we sell them for face value and they redeem for face value, and the 2-15% difference is our revenue. This revenue is used for programs, assemblies, and teachers wish list items which enhance your child's education and experience at Parkside. To learn more about our scrip program, visit the website.
