We had an outstanding start to the school year!  We are thrilled to have such a great group of students!  I want to share a few updates to help in the coming year:

• Student Agendas - Please remember to check your student's team page on our website for team updates and homework. The team pages are a great tool when used with the student's agenda. Each student in our school received a 2016-2017, Southside agenda last week.  Please help your student get into the routine of using their agenda.
• Traffic - Please remember to drop off on the school side of Jewett St.  Our traffic is tight in the morning and afternoon, please be mindful of the cross walks and the signs that state where cars are allowed. Please do not drive into the staff parking lot, the area by the dumpsters or the exit for our bus lines.  
• Open House Events - Grade 6 on 9/21 at 6:30 and Grades 7&8 on 9/22 at 6:30.  We hope you can join us to tour our school and meet your student's team teachers.  
• No School on 9/13
• Parent Group Meeting - The first meeting of the year will be on 9/19 at 6:30 in the cafe.  We would love to have you join us as we discuss plans for the school year.

Thank you and have a nice week.
