Good Afternoon Southside Families!
I am excited to begin a wonderful journey with each of you as the new principal of Southside Middle School! This is my 9th year as a principal. I have served students in grades Pre-K-8th Grade throughout my career. Over the last two weeks, I have met your amazing students and look forward to serving our community.
In collaboration with the teachers, staff, and community, our focus for the school year at Southside Middle School is to cultivate a safe school environment focused on building and exceeding grade level academic skills in reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social studies. I have a sincere desire to provide students with a strong community balanced with nurturing, guidance, creativity, and challenge to foster growth in our students academically and socially.
I will provide families with newsletters including important information and school updates throughout the school year. I encourage you to use our newsletters to stay engaged in the school environment. When our students see their parents involved in the school, they are motivated and accomplish amazing things!
In this newsletter, you will find information regarding:
Title I and SAC Annual Parent Meeting
Open House
Athletic Information
Volunteer Screening Information
I look forward to a safe, focused school year of learning and growing together.
Dr. Talya M. Taylor
Principal
Southside Middle School
