On our wall at South Side is the first part of our theme: SEEK. It is made up of over 150 pairs of glasses. Each pair of glasses has a name of one of the students or teachers on it. At one of our chapels we each made a commitment to seeking God this year and put the glasses up to remind us. The next time you are in the building, it might make for a fun picture for your child to find his or her name and stand next to it!
In October we will add to the wall the word FIRST. I will be sharing with the students how we can seek God first in all we do. We pray at the beginning of our meal, we ask God for help first when we get hurt, and we can always rely on him first when we are nervous or scared because he is always with us.

Thank You
Thank you so much for your generous donations to the 2024 Parent-Board sponsored Walkathon! Our students had so much fun getting their laps in at the high school, and we are so grateful for the funds raised!
From the Parent Board
Parents: we would love to bless our teachers with a meal on the evening of October 17 when they are here for conferences. If you are willing to contribute, please sign up here.
Save the Date! November 12, 6-8pm: Rollxscape has been reserved for Southside students, preschool – 2nd. Cost is $5.00 per person. (This event is for South Side Students only – no siblings) Parents are required to stay.
Note from Food Service
Food service is in full swing! Please continue to use the Family Portal to deposit funds into your lunch account. We are a pre-pay system, and appreciate families having funds in your child’s account when they choose to take hot lunch. There is no fee to deposit money into your account online. Familyportal.cloud is where you can deposit funds, or apply for lunch benefits. If you do not know your student account number, reach out and email Rachel.
For those families receiving lunch benefits and who want only milk, the NSLP does not give benefits for milk only. If your child wants free or reduced-price milk, students may take a fruit or vegetable, and the milk will be under their benefits.
Picture Retakes
As soon as we receive school pictures from GPI, we will send them home. If you are unhappy with the way pictures turned out, retakes will be Wednesday, October 30. Please remember to email your child’s teacher so she can note that you need retakes, and also send your child’s original picture packet back to school.
Lost & Found
The office is continuing to update our South Side Lost and Found Photo Album as items come into the gray tub in the office. Please check it out to see if any of these items belong to your child. Feel free to email Rachel Steen, to claim your item(s), and we will be sure to get it in your child’s backpack
