Keeping Our Students Safe

A friendly reminder from South Side Schools: For the safety of all students, please avoid using your cell phone while dropping off or picking up your child. Staying alert helps keep our drop-off line moving smoothly and ensures everyone gets to school safely. Thank you for your cooperation!
