Principal's Corner
 
Welcome to Southside Elementary School! Our school's mission statement is "We are striving for excellence today to prepare students to succeed in a challenging world tomorrow." It is our goal for every child to be successful at Southside. The administration, faculty and staff are excited about the 2011-2012 school year! We all agree, this will be the best ever! Everyone is willing to work hard to make sure that it is. Parents, we need your help also to help ensure that your child develops to his/her fullest potential. It will take all of us working together to make sure that happens. Our expectations are high and we will not settle for anything less for your child. We believe that every child can learn! We ask for your assistance in this endeavor as it will take all of us working together.
 
If there are any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call or make an appointment to meet with the teacher or administration. Thank you very much for allowing us to teach your child.
 
Sincerely,
 
Anita L. Evans, Ed.D
Principal
