Welcome to the Side by Side Community School Home Page

Side By Side is a regional public charter school located in the heart of downtown South Norwalk. As specified in our charter, our integrated student population reflects the diversity of our surrounding community. The 235 students of Side By Side, grades Pre-K through 8th, represent several surrounding Connecticut towns and cities. Like all charter schools, Side by Side functions independently from any local or traditional public school system. At Side by Side, our innovative approaches toward education allow us to actively and equally involve parents, teachers, and students in our day-to-day operations.

From The Director:

December 15, 2008

As you know, each year Side by Side's Family Resource Center organizes a Giving Tree program, which is an opportunity for parents and staff members to contribute gifts or non-perishable food items to families in need during the holiday season. Thanks to your generous support, we will be helping many families provide gifts to their children that otherwise would not be able to without this program.

For Upper School Parents, I request that you remind your children that cell phones and other electronic devices are NOT ALLOWED in school. Unfortunately, the staff and I have found many students in violation of this Code of Conduct Policy. For more detailed information about this policy, please refer to the memo being sent home with all Upper School Students today or with your copy of the Upper School Code of Conduct.

As we quickly near a two week holiday recess (December 22 through January 2), the SBS staff and I wish you and your families a very safe and happy holiday season. We'll see you all next year!

Sincerely,
Mr. Nittoly
