Chavez Middle Vision:

We envision our school to be a place where access to a world class education gives you access to the world. At Cesar Chavez Parkside Middle School, we are committed to creating an fun academic environment where every child is safe, known and loved. Scholars will utilize multiple modalities to access and engage with curriculum and demonstrate proficiency through authentic intellectual work. By creating a culture of lifelong learning, families, students and staff will develop their talents and consider how they may leverage their strengths to make positive contributions to the local community.
