The mission of Lakeshore Middle School is to promote collaboration between educators, students, and families to foster engaged learners and active and compassionate
members of their community.
Reflections from Mr. Swegles
Superintendent Freeman will be reaching out in the coming days regarding our learning plan as a district and I will follow that up with building-specific information. In the meantime, we are moving forward with this schedule. Students are expected to put forth a good faith given their situation and level of support. It is important that learning continues, as all of our students are going to be moving on and we want to ensure that we have as few gaps as possible given the situation we are in.
Thank you again for your continued efforts and patience as we get back at it this week. We appreciate what you are doing on your end.

Attention 8th grade parents:
The students in the 8th grade Language Arts classes are creating a personal time capsule that will be delivered to them in May of their senior year. Would you like to surprise your child with a letter in the time capsule? Letters may be written by parents, grandparents, siblings, etc. The content of the letter is up to you, but the students will reflect on the following categories in their writing: me, my world, people in my life, my past, what I do, my future. You can mail your letter to Lakeshore Middle School with attention to Laura Veldman. Please be sure to include your student’s first and last name in the letter. This is an optional activity to enrich the project, but we know your child will appreciate reading your writing. The letter should be mailed to LMS by the time school starts next fall. Thank you for your cooperation in this project.
