Happy New Year! We hope you had a wonderful and restful winter break filled with joy and memorable moments!
As we approach winter recess, we want to wish you all a joyful holiday season and a relaxing break ahead! We continue to be deeply grateful to our dedicated teachers and staff, principal, and front office whose hard work and commitment make our school so special. Thank you to our wonderful Countryside families—your volunteering and support of the PTO throughout the year truly makes a difference as we work together to create enriching and delightful experiences for our children.
Happy November! With school closed on Tuesday for Election Day, we encourage everyone in our school community to make their voices heard by voting. Participating in local elections is a vital way to stay engaged with our community and help shape the future for our children.
Happy October! It’s hard to believe but our first month of the school year is already in the books. We hope all your children have settled in nicely to the school year and day-to-day routines.
We’ve wrapped up the first full week of our Countryside PTO Annual Fund drive—thank you to everyone who has already donated!

This is a great opportunity to learn about what the PTO does and how you can volunteer and get involved in the Countryside community. Please see the schedule below. We hope everyone can join!

Our principal, Beth Herlihy, our dedicated teachers, and our devoted staff have worked hard to ensure a smooth transition, and we are incredibly grateful for their commitment and passion. Read more
