Dear Lakeside Families, 

I hope you and your family had a nice spring break! It is great to be back to learning; our Lakeside learners are working hard! Here are a few notes:

• Drop off in the morning- Students can be dropped off anytime after 7:30 am at Doors 10 or 11 on the north side of our building. We do not have supervision at the doors before 7:30 am. 
• Parking lot speed- The speed limit in our school parking lot is 10 mph. Please make sure you are driving slow in the parking lot and watching carefully as you back up for the safety of all students, staff, and families, and you and your car!
• We will not be allowing visitors or volunteers into the building for the remainder of the school year. If you need help with anything, please reach out to the school office (920.424.0131). 
• Forward Exam testing begins for grade 5 students and eAcademy students next Monday! Grade 4 and Grade 3 will follow. Please make sure your child comes to school well rested and has had a healthy breakfast! 
• Our school playground is in need of new equipment. Our student council will be taking this project on; look for more information coming your way! If you have any interest in being a part of the playground committee, please email Mrs. Ashton (amy.ashton@oshkosh.k12.wi.us). 
• It is early release on Wednesday, April 14 at 12:30 pm. 

Have a nice weekend!

Drop Off/Pick Up Information

• For parents dropping off, please drop off between 7:30 and 7:40 am. Park in a stall by Door #11 for K-2 students and Door #10 for 3-5 students. Please open your child's car door and walk them to the sidewalk. Lakeside staff will be taking children into the building and to their classrooms. Parents can give hugs outside before we take children inside. There will not be outdoor recess in the morning. 

• For pick up, parents should park near Door #11 for K-2 students and Door #10 for 3-5 students. Parents should turn off their vehicles and wait in the front of their car on the sidewalk. A staff member will check in with you to see who you are picking up and bring your child to you. 

• We are not allowing parents/guardians/visitors into the building at this time. If you have items to get to the school secretary, please consider sending with your child or calling the school secretary to make an outdoor appointment.

Suicide Prevention Resources

Wisconsin state law requires schools to provide staff and students with basic awareness materials to prevent suicide. We are sharing this information with all families through the newsletter so that you are also informed of the suicide warning signs. Please contact Mrs. Ashton, our principal, or Mrs. Palecek, our school counselor, if you have any questions about the information or specific concerns regarding your child.
