Welcome to Parkside Elementary

NWEA Testing Starts this week

NWEA Testing Begins This Week!
We’re excited to dive into what our students know and celebrate their progress!

Testing Tips for Success:

  • Start the day right: A full, healthy breakfast with protein helps boost focus.
  • Get plenty of rest: A good night's sleep is essential for doing their best.
  • Encourage effort: Remind your student to try their hardest—we’re proud of their growth!

Thank you for supporting your student during this important time!
