Mentoring
South Side is proud to offer mentors to students in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. Currently, South Side students have mentors from the CU One-to-One mentoring program. Relationship-building is at the core of mentoring which meets on the school grounds during the school day. Mentors follow the student through elementary school into middle school, and even on to high school. Students can be placed with mentors by teacher recommendation or parent request. Mentoring makes a difference in the lives of South Side students!
PTA
South Side has a very active, involved PTA. Our PTA Fine Arts Enrichment Committee has provided the following activities: Artist in residence, South Side Studio Literary magazine, workshops, and many assemblies to develop appreciation of all areas of the fine arts. PTA also provides the Tim Stafford Academic Fund for teachers and promotes enrichment activities. PTA usually meets on the third Tuesday of the month. Beyond PTA, parents serve on some school committees, help with homework, assist with conflict resolution, and help out in the classrooms. South Side recognizes the importance of parental involvement and we encourage the involvement of all parents in any way they can contribute.
