Parkside Updates

Students and Families,

Grades close for Quarter One on Thursday and report cards will be distributed to students on Friday, November 15. Students and families should be utilizing Aspen to help check their progress in each of their classes this quarter. If you have questions about grades please contact the teacher of your student directly.

Thank you,

The Parkside Staff

Reminder: There is no school on Tuesday November 5 or Monday November 11.

We have seen an increase in students displaying Nike zipper pulls from backpacks. There is a trend on TikTok with teenagers which encourages them to steal and then display them. We are encouraging families to talk with their students about not participating in this trend and not bringing the tags to school. The tags prove to be a distraction from learning and disruptive. Thank you in advance for your support.

Tryouts for boys and girls basketball will begin on November 12. All 5th graders are eligible to tryout for our Parkside teams. If 5th grade students are not selected, they have the option for trying out for their elementary school's team beginning the week of 11/18. All families need to register their students on FamilyID before tryouts begin. https://hello.familyid.com/

Please note that there has been a change and this will be for students in grades 1 to 6. The previous flyer stated grades 1-8.

There will be a winter clothing giveaway for children in grades 1 to 6 on November 9 from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM at Ste. Marie Hall (238 Notre Dame Ave). Please see the attached flier for more information.

Students will be transported from Parkside Middle School to Girls at Work by the Girls at Work van after school. Parents/guardians will need to pick students up at Girls at Work (200 Bedford St) by 5:30 p.m.

This program meets weekly on Tuesdays. Girls will spend two hours each week building small woodworking projects that they will take home. Girls at Work will also feed builders upon arrival and send them home with a bag of groceries, to help address any nutritional gaps families may be experiencing. They also give out shoes, school supplies and clothing items to all girls who participate.

Financial aid/scholarships are available for this program. The regular cost for this session is $150, but over 95% of our program participants receive financial aid. Our registration form includes income information which we use to determine your scholarship eligibility. They are happy to work with all families regarding financial need.

This program will meet on the following Tuesdays: 11/19, 11/26, 12/3, 12/10, 12/17
