School Improvement/Early Dismissal Days
Throughout the school year, there will be several early dismissal days.  Please mark these dates in your calendars now, to avoid confusion later.  On these days, Parkside will always dismiss at 11:25am.​
  • Friday, May 1, 2020
  • Thursday, May 28, 2020 (last day of school)

Entrance Update:

Effective immediately, the rear entrance (via Williams St.) to Parkside has been designated as the main entrance.  All visitors must enter the building through the main entrance, and check in with a secretary.  Visitors will no longer be able to park in the front circles (via Central St.) and enter through the front of the building.  
We realize this is a change from what many have been accustomed to, and a slight inconvenience for some; but this will provide our students with an added layer of safety and security.  
We appreciate your cooperation.
