Parkside staff members share why they love to work at Parkside, and these are posted throughout the year in our south hallway near the office.  Most of our staff members choose to stay at Parkside year after year, despite other opportunities within our school district and outside of our district. Each year they return with enthusiasm and purpose. Click on the title link above and find out why here!

Office hours are 7:15 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.  Students should not arrive before 7:25 a.m., as students are not allowed in the building before then.There is no supervision available until that time as teachers are prepping for classes and attending meetings, and students will need to wait outside if they arrive prior to 7:25 a.m.  Make sure that your children dress appropriately for the weather in the event that they need to wait outdoors for a few minutes in the morning.  If your child is a walker, make sure that they are not leaving the house too early to avoid an extended wait time. The school day begins at 7:45 a.m. and ends at 2:25 p.m. We have a 3-day rotating specialist schedule (Physical Education, Media & Music). Click here for more details.
