BIG CONGRATS to Southside for being named a NATIONAL Unified Champion School 👏 What is a Unified Champion School, you may ask ❔ A Special Olympics Unified Champion School has an inclusive school climate. One that exhibits a sense of collaboration, engagement, and respect for all. A Unified Champion School receiving national banner recognition has demonstrated commitment to inclusion by meeting 10 national standards of excellence. These standards were developed by a national panel of leaders from the Special Olympics and the education community. #PantherNation

VIPS training at Southside on Thursday, September 26!

Just a reminder ‼ Last year's "Free & Reduced" applications are EXPIRING. If you previously qualified for "Free & Reduced" meals, you WILL need to re-apply to keep that free or reduced meal price for your child/children. Click here to apply: https://secure.ezmealapp.com/ApplicationScreen.aspx
Did you know that if your child is a Junior or Senior in HS and they qualify for "Free & Reduced" meals they can take their ACT Test for free underneath the "Free Waiver Program"?? That much more of a reason to see if your family qualifies! Check out the FAQs attached to this post for more info.





Hey 3rd - 12th grade parents! 👋 This year our Southside Elementary, Intermediate School, and Middle School campuses are using the communication platform, "SchoolStatus". High School has been using this platform for a while now! This is how your child's teacher is going to communicate with you moving forward ☺
Down below is helpful information on how SchoolStatus works and what you can expect:
✔ You will have a direct line to your child's teacher/teachers.
✔ Each text will specifically list who is contacting you from our district so you know it is not "Spam". Save that contact number in your phone for future use!
✔ You can text that number at any time, BUT, teachers do have "office hours". If you text your child's teacher at 10 pm, they won't receive that notification until the next day during those allowed hours.
Have additional questions? Ask your child's teacher at the upcoming Parent/Teacher Conferences! Or you can email your child's teacher, click here to find their information: https://www.siloamschools.com/page/staff-directory

Earlier this morning, the Siloam Springs Rotary Club stopped by and personally delivered over 300 dictionaries to each 3rd grader! Our little girl said, "I can use this to learn new words relating to animals! I'm so excited! I want to be a Zoologist when I grow up." 🦍 #PantherNation #SSSE
