Our Fall Sports teams are representing our School in amazing fashion.  While the teams are performing in commendable fashion we are extremely pleased with the level of sportsmanship we have observed on the courts and fields.  Our student athletes have displayed our 3-C's (Character - Citizenship - Community) with true Spartan Pride!  

Please follow our Twitter account for current updates on school events.  Our Twitter account can be found on our homepage - www.southside.mansd.org.

As always, if you ever have a question about your student, please feel free to call your student's team of teachers, guidance counselor or a member of the admin team.  We are here to help!

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.

PSG - Blue Ribbon Award

Good evening-

I am writing to share some exciting news about our Parent Support Group (PSG).  The Southside PSG recently received the Blue Ribbon award from the NH Partners in Education.  This award recognizes school partnerships that promote school volunteer activities.

Our Southside PSG members have volunteered hours at events such as: dances, concerts, drama productions, school events, fundraisers, and planning meetings.  Our school community is enhanced by these actives and from the support of our PSG.  We will proudly display our award and photo from the NH Partners in Education event.

On behalf of the students and staff of Southside, we thank our volunteers for all you do for our school!

Sincerely,
Jennifer Gillis

Good morning-

I am writing to share the updated school day hours that will take effect on November 30, 2015.  If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to a member of the Administrative Team.

Thank you
