Be our guests and join our cast members in celebrating our 10th anniversary year! Our academy-award winning students and staff AGAIN made Parkside Elementary an A+ school for 2008-2009, as well as meeting 100% of the rigorous criteria for No Child Left Behind's Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). WOW!
Here are the FCAT results and learning gains achieved:
Stay tuned for many exciting and engaging community activities we are planning this year, including the opening of our time capsule we buried in our opening year, 2000. Hope to see you on the big screen!
At Parkside we follow a good script that guides the curriculum and instruction being provided to our students. Our cast of students is challenged on a daily basis to "learn their lines" (subject matter). Our competent "directors" (teachers) work hard to bring out the best performances possible from our "stars." The various production crews (facilities, office staff, food services, etc.) work hard behind, and sometimes in front of, the scenes to provide the best support possible. Finally, as administrators (producers) we do everything possible to bring all facets together for a successful "production" (school year).
Of course, it is always our hope that our parents (audience) will have reason to applaud the end result. We depend on the support of our "audience" to help us refine the whole process and assure "continuous block-busters" not only this year, but every year. We encourage our students to be seeking their "Reel Dreams" of success. The staff- and specifically your child's teacher- will be providing important engaging educational experiences, as well as any additional support students may need, to continue building a strong academic and social foundation. Our parents will always be an important part in helping their child's dreams become realities. Parkside Elementary has a dedicated staff that looks forward to working with our parents toward achieving that goal.
Throughout the school year, there will be guideposts that will help both parents and teachers assess how well each student is progressing- both academically and socially- Interim Reports, parent conferences, report cards, state assessments, quizzes, tests, and so on. We encourage parents to monitor their child’s progress on a regular basis, and work with his / her teachers to be sure their child is putting forth his / her best effort.
