More Policies

The Parkside Elementary Handbook details all you need to know about the school year. Much of that information is included in tabs on this website as well. Here are some additional topics found in the handbook that may be of interest to you and your family.

Field Trips

Field trips are an important part of the learning process. Each grade level plans two trips a year to enhance the curriculum. All school policies and procedures are in effect during a field trip. Parents who volunteer to chaperone a field trip are obligated to follow school policy and procedure, as such chaperones may not bring siblings or other children on a field trip. Chaperones must have clearances on file with the district. Please note, due to unforeseen circumstances or weather conditions, a field trip may suddenly need to be canceled on the day of the trip and rescheduled at a later date.

Birthdays

Throughout the year, many students at Parkside Elementary celebrate birthdays and other occasions with special treats. All birthday food treats are distributed at lunchtime in the cafeteria. If you plan to send food to school, please inform your child’s teacher ahead of time and bring food items to the school office on the morning of the celebration.

All birthday snacks must be from the approved Penn-Delco Wellness Policy Snack List. We ask that you choose a peanut-free snack and, if at all possible, prepackaged with an ingredient label. We encourage parents to celebrate with non-food items such as stickers, pencils, themed erasers, or other school trinkets.

Toys and Electronics

Toys and electronic devices are not permitted in the school building. These personal items can be easily broken, misplaced, or stolen. Students who bring a cell phone to school will be asked to turn the phone off and place it in their school bag until the end of the school day.

Cell phones are to be left off and away until a student exits the school bus. No cell phones are permitted on the school bus. The school will not be responsible for lost or stolen toys, electronics, or cell phones.
