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:

June 9, 2008

Dear SBS Families,

On behalf of our Side by Side staff, I would like to extend our congratulations to the graduating class of 2008! The graduation ceremony is being held this Wednesday at 6:00 pm in the gymnasium, and I'm pleased to announce that our educational consultant, Marie Iannazzi, is our keynote speaker.

Renovations have begun transforming our gymnasium into a "multi-purpose" room with the installation of new stage curtains this week – just in time for our graduation ceremony. More cosmetic renovations will continue this summer including the installation of acoustical sound panels around the gym's perimeter.

Due to rain last Friday, our annual Field Day has been rescheduled for this Friday, June 13 at Veteran's Park. Afterwards, the first annual SbS All School Slide Show will take place at 2:15 in the gymnasium followed by the fourth grade Moving Up Ceremony at 2:45 pm. Parents are welcome to attend.

I wish our Side by Side community a safe, happy and healthy summer! I look forward to seeing you in the fall.

Sincerely,
Mr. Nittoly
