Dear community,

We’re excited to keep you informed and connected with all that’s happening at South Side School. Each week, we’ll share important updates, upcoming events, and reminders. Our goal is to keep you engaged in your child’s school experience and ensure you have the information you need to help them succeed.
Thank you for partnering with us in making this a wonderful school year!

 

In this issue:

Note from the Nurse

As we approach the end of the 2025-2026 school year, please remember that all student medical documentation—including medication orders, diet orders, and Action Plans—will expire and must be updated for the upcoming 2026-2027 school year. Parents must pick up all unused student medications from the nurse's office by the last day of school, as any items left more than 10 days into the summer will be safely disposed of. To ensure your child is ready for the fall, please schedule required medical appointments or renew immunization exemptions over the summer break. Completed forms and updated health documentation can be dropped off when the nurse's office reopens during the first week of August or on the first day of school.
 

End-of-Year Technology and Library Reminders

High school students are asked to return all library books as soon as possible. If you are uncertain about which titles are still on your account, please stop by and check in with a library aide for assistance. Following your final semester tests, you must turn in your school-issued Chromebook and charger to the designated collection point. Before handing over your device, ensure all personal stickers and adhesive residue have been completely removed. Thank you for your prompt cooperation in helping our staff finalize the end-of-year inventory!

Join Us for the SSBB Summer Educational Camp!

South Side Bee Branch Elementary is excited to offer a two-week Summer Educational Camp focused on reinforcing and extending literacy and math skills for students currently in Kindergarten through 5th grade. The program runs Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 11:30 AM during the weeks of June 1st–4th and June 8th–11th. We are pleased to provide both breakfast and lunch for attendees, and transportation services are available upon request. To secure your child’s spot, please register as soon as possible via the ParentSquare Form. If you have any additional questions, feel free to reach out to Mrs. Driver at sdriver@southsidebb.org.

Wishing You a Wonderful Summer!

As the 2025-2026 school year winds down, we present the final regular issue of our parent newsletter. We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all of our families for your incredible support, partnership, and dedication over the past school year. Whether you were volunteering in the school, cheering from the sidelines, or helping with homework, you made this year a tremendous success for our students. We hope everyone has a fantastic, fun-filled, and safe summer break, making wonderful memories with family and friends. Take this time to relax and recharge, and we look forward to welcoming you all back in the fall!
