Each month we will highlight a section of our Parkside Handbook.
Dress Code:
- No hats/hoods will be worn inside the school building.
- Clothing must cover entire torso from armpit to armpit and must have straps.
- Shorts must have at minimum 3-4" inseam.
- Shoes are required to be worn at all times and should be compatible with safe play and activity.
This month our focus is on encouragement. We all benefit from encouragement. Special Olympics Unified Champion Schools teach students to appreciate and support one another from an early age. Let your child know that our school is focusing on encouragement this month. Launch a discussion with questions like these:
- Who encourages you?
- How do you encourage others?
- Can you think of five more ways to encourage others?
- Have you ever cheered up someone who seemed discouraged?
- How do small gestures of encouragement add up?

Gratitude /ˈɡradəˌto͞od/ (noun): the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and return to kindness.
It's always a good time to show appreciation and kindness!
- Does your child have a teacher, see a reading/math tutor, go to DEEP, enjoy recess, eat lunch, ride the bus, loose teeth, call home, or receive help from an adult at school?
- Has an employee at the school done something to help make your child's school experience a little better?
