This is a reminder to all Parkside families that we share a school site with Gossler Park Elementary and our playground and courts are closed after school until after Gossler's dismissal. Students picking up their younger siblings at Gossler can report to the cafe at the 2:25 bell and check in with our designated staff member to be supervised until 2:50. All other students are expected to leave school grounds or be supervised in an after school program after our dismissal until the playground and courts reopen at 3:00PM.
