Parkside Updates heading

Welcome to Week Eight!

Students and Families,

There are only three weeks left in our first quarter. 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.

Please don't forget to support West High School's football team by following the link below to help them in their quest to upgrade their facility.

Thank you,
The Parkside Staff

Weather and Morning Arrival

As the weather shifts and gets colder, please make sure your student is dressed appropriately in layers for the colder mornings when they are walking to school, at their bus stop or on school grounds. Unless it is raining, snowing or below 20 degrees, your child will be outside from when they arrive at school until 7:20. If you need a warm coat for your student please contact our social worker, Jillian Record via email jillianrecord@mansd.org or attend the event detailed below.

Winter Clothing Giveaway

There will be a winter clothing giveaway for children in grades 1 to 8 on November 9 from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM at Ste. Marie Hall (238 Notre Dame Ave).


Winter Sports Tryouts

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/
