Hello Lakeside Parents and Guardians,
School Carnival: Our Annual Spring Carnival is tonight, Friday March 8th, from 6:00-8:00pm. Tickets will be sold at the door and can be exchanged for activities and food at the event. We hope to see you all there!!
3rd Grade Parents: All 3rd-grade students will be taking the IREAD-3 assessment beginning Monday, March 11. It is extremely important for students to be present and on time during this test window as well. Due to Spring Break beginning the following week, the assessment must be completed by the end of the week. If a student unfortunately fails or misses all or a part of the IREAD-3 assessment, he/she will automatically have to be enrolled in the summer program and take the assessment at that time. Please know we are continuing to work very hard to support each student with the skills necessary to pass IREAD-3 and wish every student the very best on the upcoming assessment.
Spring Intersession: At the completion of next week, school is not in session for two weeks. Students will return to school on Monday, April 1.
