Parkside Grand Opening to be Announced Soon

Public Invited to Ceremony and Open House

The public is invited to the Grand Opening and Open House for Parkside School. The specific date and time will be announced soon, but it is expected the event will be held in late August. After a brief ceremony, the open house will follow. Refreshments will be served and we hope to see you there!

This event, along with the commencement of the 2009-10 school year, will wrap up three years of planning, preparation and many hours of hard work from some very dedicated people. Not only is the construction of our beautiful new building nearing completion, but large scale renovation work at Northview Elementary and Washington Elementary began moments after students departed for the summer. Also, because of the realignment of grade levels at each building, everything and everyone in the district is moving to a new location. Once open this fall, Parkside will serve students in grades 5 through 8, while Washington will house grades 2 through 4 and Northview grades kindergarten and 1, as well as the new Bright Futures preschool program. We are also implementing a breakfast program at all three buildings.

Construction and renovation will force a later start to the 2009-10 school term. To view the official 2009-10 calendar as well as the late start calendar, please click on the 2009-2010 District Calendar button on the right. We will publicly announce the official start date in early August with public announcements and via the AltertNOW phone calling system. With either calendar, Fall Registration will be held at Parkside School on Tuesday, August 18, from 10:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.

Memories of Roosevelt School

Era Ending After 82 Years

On Thursday, May 28th, Roosevelt School celebrated the many memories of the past 82 years. Students, staff, parents, and community members (both past and present) came to Roosevelt School for one final walk down the hallways. Everyone enjoyed the fun activities that were offered that evening; but most everyone enjoyed reflecting on the great teachers, parents, and children that were part of the history of Roosevelt School.

Information and Dates To Remember.....

Please be aware of registration information for the 2009-10 school year, as there are a number of changes. Registration will be held at Parkside School on Tuesday, August 18.
