We Need More Testing Volunteers!

Our Shield T3 COVID PCR testing program has proven critical in identifying active COVID cases on campus, allowing us to implement rapid quarantines and prevent on-campus spread. However the all-volunteer group supporting the program needs your help! The program is at-risk of being put on hold as we do not have enough volunteers to sustain volunteer absences due to COVID, other illnesses or scheduling conflicts.

So we're seeking additional volunteers who can help test at Lakeside School from 9:45 to 10:20am Mondays and Wednesdays. Support can be twice weekly to as infrequently as twice monthly. Email lambmacleodfoundation@gmail.com with 'Volunteer' in the subject and your availability. NOTE: Volunteers must be fully vaccinated.

District Updates

New Lakeside COVID-19 Response Coordinator. Lakeside parent, Debbie Lee, has come on board to support our district's response to COVID-19. Please direct any COVID-related questions and concerns to her at dlee@lakesidelosgatos.org.

Level up on Masks. Given the high contagiousness of the Omicron variant, it's important to ensure your child's mask is sufficient at preventing droplet spread. Cloth only masks are no longer recommended. N95, KN94 or KN95 provide the most protection. You can also place a cloth mask over a surgical one for extra protection. See guidelines here (scroll down).

School Updates

Thank you for your continued patience and cooperation. We are grateful that many of our staff have recovered and returned on campus. However, we continue to deal with staffing shortages while working to keep our school open and safe for in-person learning. Thank you for being diligent with keeping your child safe, testing and working with us through this time.
