Dear Lakeside Community,
It's hard to believe that we already finished with our second week of school and the month of September has already begun. I have to tell you, it has been a pleasure getting to know your students since school has started. Seeing them in the morning, visiting their classrooms, and talking with them during their breaks is an absolute pleasure for me.
We are bringing school spirit back! Starting September 8th, and every Friday until the end of the year, will be Spirit Friday. All students are encouraged to wear Lakeside shirts (Shirts can be from previous events, new ones purchased from Lakeside Foundation, or school colors). School colors are Red and White! The classroom with the most spirit wins bragging rights for the following week.
Please make sure your student has plastic utensils in their lunch. Many students have asked the office for utensils this week.
Message from 4th/5th Grade - The
4th and 5th graders will be collecting money donations for victims of Hurricane Harvey. We have researched ways to support the victims and have found that donating money is the best thing we can do. The class has decided to send the donations to the Red Cross.
A container will be put in the office and posters will be made to encourage all students to participate and to encourage their parents, families, and friends to donate also.
Student Representatives - Beginning with September's board meeting, we will have 5th grade student representatives speak at each board meeting. They will report on school activities, things they are learning, and upcoming events. It's a great way to encourage our soon to be middle schoolers to work on their public speaking.
Foundation
- Parents interested in ordering pizza lunch for their students need to do so by September 1st. There are also MANY opportunities to volunteer at school with our Lakeside Foundation, from hot lunch to classroom assistance to helping manage events and more. If you are interested, please contact our Lakeside
Foundation leaders.
Supervision Before School - Our staff begins supervision at 8 am. If your child is here before 8 am, they need to be closely supervised by you. Our goal is to keep students safe and if they arrive early or are playing unsupervised, we can’t maintain the secure and safe environment that all of our children need.
Supervision After School - School ends at 2:40 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and at 1:15 on Wednesday. We have had a few students remain in the office since school has started. Please make sure that your student is picked up on time.
Camp Campbell - is available for after school care. For more information, please contact
YMCA Camp Campbell Office or call 408-395-5125.
Attendance - If your child arrives to school after 8:20 a.m. please make sure you sign them into the office before asking them to join their class.
Parent Information - If you are going to be on campus for any reason please make sure you sign-in with the office first. This helps us ensure we know who is on our campus at all times for the safety of all students and staff. If you would like to meet with a teacher please email them for a scheduled time. They would be able to schedule time with you before or after school when they are not teaching or preparing for the day. Please allow the teacher up to 48 hours to respond to your email.
