Come join us tomorrow morning for our PTA meeting!

Our school is partnering with the City of Saratoga Springs for the annual 9/11 Day of Service. One of this year’s projects is creating Birthday Boxes for local families in need. These boxes ensure that every child in our community feels celebrated and included on their special day.

We are asking for your support in two ways:

Donate items for the Birthday Boxes (see flyer for Amazon Wish List or local drop-off sign-up). https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0A4DACA823A3FBC52-50388506-saratoga?useFullSite=true#/

Sign up for 9-11 day of service projects https://www.justserve.org/SaratogaSprings911DayofService
These efforts directly benefit students in our community. Thank you for helping us make a difference!

Dear Springside Families,

Tomorrow is a very special day — it's the first day of Kindergarten at Springside Elementary! We are so excited to welcome our newest students to the school and can’t wait to meet them!

As we begin Kindergarten, please note that our afternoon pick-up procedures will be slightly different to ensure everything runs safely and smoothly.

🔸 Only Kindergarten parents with official Kinder dismissal cards will be allowed to use the Kindergarten pick-up line.

🔸 If you have older students at Springside, please plan for them to pick up their Kindergarten sibling directly from the Kinder teacher and then head to the front of the school - your regular family pick-up spot. We want to try to elevate congestion at the Kinder pickup zone.

We appreciate your support and flexibility as we work to make dismissal safe and efficient for everyone.

Thank you for being such an important part of our Springside community!
