Our school supply list is updated at the end of the year for the following year. It will be posted on our website.

Our transportation department has an FAQ for transportation questions, including if you're new to the bus. 

Find a Bus Route

Closer to the start of school, you can find your bus stop and pick-up/drop-off time using our online tool. Please check back before the first day of school. Minor adjustments to routes could be made.

Every neighborhood school has a safe walking route for students to follow. Check out safe walking routes on our Transportation Department website. 

Fall in love with our scratch-made dishes and local ingredients prepared in a balanced meal. Research has shown that there is a crucial relationship between nutrition and academic performance. We strive to offer quality meals to set our students up for success every day.

• BREAKFAST includes fruit or vegetables, 100% juice or milk, a choice of cereal, and graham crackers in addition to a hot entrée choice.
• LUNCH includes salads, fresh fruit and vegetables and milk along with daily options. A vegetarian choice is offered daily.

Free and Reduced Price Meals

Parkside is a Community Eligibility Provision school where students receive meals at no charge. Families can fill out an income survey instead of a free and reduced-price meal application to help us maintain school funding and access other discounts and benefits.

The first day of school for kindergarten is Monday, September 11, 2023.

Kindergarten students join us a few days after 1st-12th grade students.
