Soccer grades 1-3, 4-5

Requirements to be a coach are to hold one practice each week after school and coach one game on Saturdays and attend the coaches meeting given by the rec department.

Welcome, Parkside Kindergarten Families!

We are SO excited for you to join our amazing school community this fall, and we know you are loaded with many thoughts, feelings, and questions. So...we got you covered! Please take a moment to scan the QR code embedded in the attached flyer to RSVP to one of our 4 Meet-n-Greet Kinder Orientation sessions scheduled for August 13th & 25th at the Bayview Library.

Please note that in addition to this invitation, you will be mailed a packet of information with your child's classroom teacher and other need-to-knows around the first week in August - so, start checking your mailboxes next week!
