  • Middle School at Parkside Announcements for 9/11 to 9/15.

    First, please be on the lookout for the Education Benefits Form that was sent out last week. This form is critical to our funding and we need it from every JPS family to continue recieving that funding. Please do not hesitate to let us know how we can help get this form filled out and counted.

    Second, for all students that are dropped off. Please make sure to pull all the way forward when dropping students off. Stopping at the Fieldhouse doors limits the amount of peope that can get in the parking lot and release their students. Pulling forward towards the auditorium allows for more students to be released and more at a time. Please remember to not block the driveway by the tennis courts as staff attempts to get to the back of the building to report for work. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to give us a call!

    No School - Students/Teachers Spring Break Begins!

    Also I am exited to announce that Parkside has hired a French teacher! Ms. Evangeline Prosper has joined our staff and we will be offering a full schedule of French classes next school year. For the remainder of this year- if your 6th or 7th grader is not in a world language class or would like to switch from an Intro to German or Intro to Spanish into Intro to French please email me at destiney.davis@jpsk12.org or call the school. We will be opening up a couple sections of Intro to French for the rest of this school year.

    As always if you have any questions about anything in these announcements please give the school a call at 517-841-2300
