Dear Lakeside Families,
Hello Lakeside Families,
I am so impressed with our school community and the engagement in virtual learning happening virtually at Lakeside. On a regular basis, I see 90-100% of students participating in their live Google Meets. Keep up the awesome work, Lakeside students and families! Our school mission is about being a positive, family-centered place dedicated to building relationships. Please reach out if there is something you need to help your family or your child with virtual learning, friendships, or anything else. We strive to make our school a place (with or without the physical location!) that is a positive experience and welcoming for all!
I am really looking forward to the Holiday Sing-along. It may be a bit clunky to have so many families on a Google Meet screen, but we are making the best out of our current reality and trying to add JOY during this holiday season. We will also have a few virtual dress up days- stay tuned to the weekly announcement videos for more information.
Finally, a very good friend reminded me that this season and this year (and truly all season and years) are not about the "things to look forward to" but about the little JOYs that you can find throughout each day. When we spend time being in the moment, learning, laughing, growing, and connecting, we find life's true JOY. I hope you are finding many small moments to make you smile.
Wishing you all well,
Mrs. Ashton
Materials Pickup
New materials from classroom teachers and specialists will be available to pick up on December 9th from 7:30am to 3pm. Please return any classroom books and/or library books your students have finished. Also, please return art projects, art supplies and any materials your child's classroom teacher has requested (such as writing samples). Please place items in a plastic bag labeled with your child's name and the teacher's name, and come to door #1 to exchange the materials.
Please note: if anyone in your household has COVID symptoms, is awaiting COVID test results, is a contact of a positive COVID case, or has tested positive for COVID, you must wait until your quarantine is over before picking up materials from school.

Caregivers Series from our Behavior Interventionists
Here is the latest in the Caregiver Series! It is on the importance of sleep and how to make it happen. Enjoy!
Lakeside would like to extend a big THANK YOU to Festival Foods for their generous donation of plastic grocery bags. Without their generosity, our material pickups would have been difficult to keep organized. It is great knowing that we can always count on our community to lend a hand when it is needed!
