Parkside families,
We are in the home stretch of another school year! We have worked with students to reset expectations and encourage everyone to END STRONG! There are several exciting opportunities for students over the next few weeks and we want everyone to have all the supports they need to succeed. Please continue to partner with us to END STRONG!
With Python Pride,
Karrah Jensen

CONGRATULATIONS! We have three staff members who are retiring this school year! Debbie Brown has been an intregral part of the Parkside Junior High School for years. She is an outstanding guidance counselor who cares deeply for the students and staff here. We wish her well in her retirement! Lori Fry, day custodian works to ensure the building is looking its best. She has made connections with our students beyond just her job. Thank you for your service at Parkside! Lenora Tuggle has been a constant in this building for over 30 years. She has impacted every facet of Parkside and will be greatly missed not only for her expertise but her general warmth and caring for others! Parkside will not be the same without these staff members! You will be missed!
The last two weeks of school will be filled with fun and spirit! Start planning now!
LAPTOP RETURN: Student chromebooks will be collected on May 25th. Students who will not be at school that day should turn them in prior to leaving for summer break to the front office. Students who do not turn in a chromebook by the end of the day on 5/25 will be issued a fee of $275. If they turn in a chromebook but no charger they will be issued a fee of $45. If the student is enrolled in summer school it will be delivered to them on their first day of summer school session.
Yearbooks will be in soon! Students who have ordered books will be given those by the last day of school. There are around 20 extra copies to be sold on a first come first serve basis for $30.
The PJHS BOGO Scholastic Book Fair runs Monday May 15-Thursday May18 next week. Not only is everything Buy One Get One Free, but it's a great way to kick off summer reading for your kids! Setting up an eWallet is a great way to allow students to pay without sending in cash. Just visit our book fair homepage for more information!
