Dear community,

We’re excited to keep you informed and connected with all that’s happening at South Side School. Each week, we’ll share important updates, upcoming events, and reminders. Our goal is to keep you engaged in your child’s school experience and ensure you have the information you need to help them succeed.
Thank you for partnering with us in making this a wonderful school year!

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!

We have a lot to accomplish in our district, and we need support from volunteers to achieve our goals. We are moving from Good to Great at SSBB!
