Hello Lakeside Parents and Guardians,
In an effort to better serve our students and families, we are asking you to complete a short survey that went home with the students last week. Please help us by completing the survey and returning it to the main office or your child’s teacher. Please complete one survey per family and return by Friday, May 17. Thank you!
Attention 4th-grade families! On Thursday, May 16, Creston Intermediate School will be hosting a 5th-grade transition information session, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. You will have an opportunity to see the building and meet the CIA principal and members of the staff. Please make every attempt to go as it will be very informative.
Have a great week and as always, I thank you for your continued support of Lakeside Elementary!

Attendance Matters, Facts Matters, Information Matters
1. Absenteeism and its ill effects start early. One in 10 kindergarten and first-grade students are chronically absent. Read more...
2. Poor attendance can influence whether children read proficiently by the end of third grade or be held back. Read more...
3. Research shows that missing 10 percent of the school, or about 18 days in most school districts, negatively affects a student’s academic performance. That’s just two days a month and that’s known as chronic absence. Read more...
4. When students improve their attendance rates, they improve their academic prospects and chances for graduating. Read more...

Lost and Found
We currently have many personal items in the Lost and Found bins located in the school clinic. Please check with your child and if they are missing any clothing, jackets, books, lunchboxes, or other personal items, please have them check our bins. Any item not claimed by the end of the year will be donated to a worthy charity.
Outside Recess
It’s that time of year when we need to remind student to make sure they have appropriate clothing for recess. The district policy states students will be going outside for recess if the temperature and the wind chill are above 20 degrees. We have extra coats, hats, and gloves for students in need. Please contact the front office if you need assistance.
Students must go outside unless we have a doctor statement.
HEALTHY CELEBRATIONS
While we love to celebrate, please remember that there is a “no birthday treats “ guideline. To access fun and helpful resources for healthy celebration ideas please visit the district wellness policy by clicking on this link. Also, note that no birthday invitations are allowed to be distributed at school. It is school policy.
