COVID-19 Response Team @ Lakeside Elementary 


Dear Lakeside Families, 

As we approach the last month of school, I'd like to share a few updates with you for end-of-year planning. Due to COVID-19 and restrictions for guests entering the building, we will be celebrating the end of the year differently than in the past. 

  • On Tuesday, May 25, we will have our annual kindergarten promotion and teddy bear picnic. We will live stream this event so that parents can view from home, or watch the recording later. More information will be coming from kindergarten teachers to kindergarten families. 
  • On Thursday, June 3, we will celebrate our fifth graders with a promotion ceremony in the morning. This will be live streamed to families to view from home, or watch the recording later. Fifth graders will also receive their DARE certificate from Officer Pete Ehlert during this promotion ceremony. 
  • We will wrap up our school year on June 3 with Field Day events in the afternoon. Typically, our PTO runs field day and many parents volunteer to assist. This year, a small group of PTO leaders will meet with our PE teacher to coordinate Field Day activities. We will not have parents on-site for Field Day. 

We are glad that we are in person and can have these events to celebrate our students and their growth this year! If you have any questions about end of the year plans, do not hesitate to reach out!

Wishing you well,

~Mrs. Ashton

Lost and Found

Please remind your students to check lost and found items for anything they may be missing. If you know you are missing something and would like us to look for you, or if you would like to make arrangements to check the lost and found table yourself, please contact the office and we will set something up! (920) 424-0131


 

Spring Reminders

  • Jackets need to be worn outside unless the temperature reaches 50 degrees. Between 50 and 60, long sleeves must still be worn. 
  • Boots still need to be worn on the playground and field.
  • Our playground is extremely wet and muddy this time of year! Please consider packing a spare set of clothes in your child’s backpack. This may help avoid a phone call to parents at work for dry clothes if a mud or rain puddle is encountered outside.


     

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. You can reach Ms. Zuercher at 920-424-0131 (ext. 3801) or kami.zuercher@oshkosh.k12.wi.us


 

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.
