Pollution Solution

Lakeside Elementary is partnering with NexTrex again this year. Information was sent home last week in folders. Our goal is to collect 1,000 lbs of plastic to receive a NexTrex bench. Anyone and everyone can donate plastic. The Pollution Solution Club is open to 4th and 5th grade students that will be weighing all the plastic each week and will be keeping everyone updated on our achievements towards the recycling goal. We have until April 2026 to reach our goal. You can drop off your plastic at Lakeside Elementary by door #11 or send with your child/ren. One NexTrex recycling bin is located inside door #11 and the other bin is located by the kitchen. 

If you have any questions please email me at:

With cold and flu season upon us already, your child may have a sore throat, runny nose, headache etc. and you may want your child to bring cough drops, Tylenol  or other medications to school.  All medications need to be brought into the office and given in the office.  Your child should not keep any medications in their backpacks.  All medications need a signed medication form in the office.  If you would like a form to fill out, please call or email the office to send one home with your child.  It only takes a minute to fill out! 

Please remind your child to cover their mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, and most importantly...WASH HANDS!!!  Washing hands can prevent the spread of diseases.

Your child should stay home if they have any of these symptoms: 100 degree temp or higher, vomiting, diarrhea, thick mucus from the nose, excessive drowsiness, undiagnosed rash or open sores, pain that interferes with learning such as; earache, red, itchy eyes with discharge, sore throat with difficulty swallowing or a persistent, productive cough.  This helps prevent the spread of illness to others in school.  If you child has any of these symptoms they should stay home and be free from symptoms for 24 hours before returning to school.

FRIENDLY REMINDER: When calling your child's school to report their absence, please relay the symptoms they are having to the school office so that the District can continue to track illness in the school and within classrooms.

Please call or email with any questions!

Volunteering

If you are interested in volunteering by helping in your child's classroom or chaperoning a field trip, you must have a pre-approved volunteer application on file before the volunteering event. If you HAVE NOT filled out a volunteer application please click HERE to begin the application process. If you are unsure of your volunteer status, please email Kylene Schrage. All verified backgrounds checks are good for three years, and are effective for all OASD schools. If you have any questions about this process, please contact our school office at 920.424.0131 or kylene.schrage@oshkosh.k12.wi.us

Important!: Once you have completed your application, let the office know so that we can request that the application be processed; this does not happen automatically, and can take up to 48 hours, so please plan accordingly! 

Arrival Procedures

Due to the location of Lakeside being on a major highway, children are not allowed to walk or ride bikes to school. Parents are encouraged to have their children ride the bus to ensure they will arrive at the same time as the
other students. Buses will unload on the east side of the building for arrival and dismissal. Buses will be unloaded at Lakeside at 7:15 a.m. by a recess supervisor. Upon arrival at school, children will go to the
playground. After school, buses will be loaded by 2:50 p.m.

When dropping off students at Lakeside, please drive in the north entrance. Park in a space along the north side (facing the building) near Door #10 and walk your child to the supervisor near the playground.  Adults are not allowed on the playground unless they have checked into the office and are wearing a badge.

Dismissal Procedures

Busing is the way most Lakeside students get home at the end of the day. If you want to pick up your child(ren), please park in a stall, facing the school; exit your vehicle and notify the staff outside who you are picking up. Students in grades K-3 will exit through Door #11. Students in grades 4-5 will exit through Door #10.
If a child is not picked up by 2:50 p.m., we will make a phone call home or to an emergency contact.

A phone call to the secretary or an email to the secretary and teacher is necessary if:
● Your child’s normal after school plan is changing
● Your child is being picked up by another parent
● Your child is being picked up by someone other than their parent
● Your child is planning to ride another bus
● Your child is staying for an afterschool activity

*Telling your child is not sufficient. You must provide written notification or contact the office preferably before noon or as soon as possible so the proper individuals may be made aware of the special plans.
