Fit Friday - Returning January 8th - The Best Way to Start Your Day!
Parents- What if you could start your child's morning off with fun fitness games? Now you can! Fit Friday's fun fitness stations will release your child's excess energy before the school day even starts. Fit Friday provides fun, safe and structured fitness activities for an improved classroom experience. Get fit, have fun and start your morning off like a PRO! Fit Friday, offered in partnership with our Countryside PTO Wellness Committee and Coach Jonny with Pros of the Rope (PRO), will begin again on Friday, January 8 at 8:00 AM.
Current Countryside Families and Kindergarten Registration for Fall 2016
A reminder for parents of incoming kindergarteners; the white card "Kindergarten Choice Program Preference Form" does not register your child for Kindergarten. The enrollment packet - which includes multiple pages - needs to be submitted to the Office of Enrollment or to the Countryside office before registration is complete. Please feel free to call the Countryside office with questions.
Dressing for Minnesota Weather
Winter is almost here! With our unpredictable winter weather upon us, I would like to remind students that they should come dressed appropriately for changing weather conditions. Students will go outside for noon recess unless it is raining or the temperature or wind chill is below zero (BRRRR, let's hope that doesn't happen for a while).
Lost But Found
Our bin for Lost But Found items is overflowing! Next time you are in the building, please check it out and reclaim the treasures that belong to your family! We will again do a donation of unclaimed items after winter break, so now is the time to check it out.
Stay Engaged with Construction Planning
Want to know the latest on what is happening with the referendum construction plans? Planning team materials, updates and more are all archived online

Wishing you a great winter break and see you in January!
