Parkside showed our spirit today by wearing Red, White and Blue in honor of 911.
.
Come on out this Friday and join us at Beaver Bash before the Tenino vs. Kalama Football Game from 6 to 6:45pm at Beaver Stadium! There will be plenty of fun activities for kids, games, and food! 🦫❤️🖤💪
Friday will be Red, White and Blue Day at Parkside Elementary in remembrance of Sept. 11, 2001.
Please wear your Red, White and Blue on Friday.
Don't underestimate the harm these school absences can cause.
Missing just two days a month of school―for any reason—can make life harder. Children who are chronically absent in kindergarten and first grade are less likely to read on grade level by the third grade.
Regular school attendance also provides an engaging environment. This can help young people build relationships with peers and adults and gain a deeper sense of community and purpose.
Come join the fun and help us kick off the new school year at the BEAVER BASH!
Thank you students, parents and staff for a wonderful FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL. It was so nice to see all the smiles and hear the joy as you entered Parkside today! Thanks for getting us off to a great start! Let's make it a wonderful year!

Don't forget Back-to-School Night at Parkside is tonight!
Back-to-School Night at Parkside Elementary will be August 31, 2026 5:30-7:00pm

✨Retiree Spotlight -- Ginger Dafoe✨
Mrs. Dafoe started at Parkside Elementary in the Preschool in 1992 where she stayed for 4 years. She took a year off and returned in 1998. During her 33 years, she has worked with students ranging from preschool through 2nd grade and has loved being a part of the education team!
Mrs. Dafoe will miss the excitement of the children as they come through the doors each morning! She will also miss the nonstop craziness of each day (both good and not so good). Lastly, she will miss the Parkside family!
She’s looking forward to traveling with her husband, spending time with her family and really just doing anything her heart desires! 🦋🫶💃
