Our students showed off the spirit and pride that makes Southside shine. Here’s to an amazing season ahead!









Our preschoolers had so much fun exploring water play, shaving cream, spaghetti noodles, chalk, and more!
Sensory play isn’t just messy fun—it’s learning in action. Activities that engage touch, sight, sound, and movement help children build fine motor skills, strengthen problem-solving, spark creativity, and even support language development.
Hands-on play = big smiles + big learning!

We look forward to helping families make sure students arrive safely and on time.


No Phones During School
As we begin a new school year, we want to make sure families are aware of Act 122, a new state law that goes into effect this year. This law requires that all personal electronic devices remain off and out of sight during the entire school day — from the time students arrive until dismissal.
✅Students may bring a phone or device to school, but it must be turned off and stored in a backpack or secured in a classroom phone locker.
🚫 Devices cannot be used, visible, or accessed during school hours — even inside a backpack.
There are a few exceptions, such as medical emergencies, IEP/504 accommodations, and approved educational use (like concurrent credit courses).
Parents, please help us support this law and keep students focused on learning. Talk to your child about the importance of following the updated policy.
