Just the Facts...August 7, 2019
What Starts Here Changes The World...

Things to think about...
Pre-K
- Pre-K Orientation will take place tomorrow evening between 6 & 7 pm in our library. This event is for our new Pre-K parents and will not include time in the classroom.
- Pre-K learners will attend breakfast and lunch at Lakeside. Please plan to send learners to school with a midday snack to get them through the long day.
- PK car-riders will dismiss from at the end of the day and should be dropped off in the morning at the front office loop where they will be directed to their classrooms.
- We will have 4 educators in Kindergarten this year.
- First grade has moved to BHall this year and will have 4 educators.
- Second grade will have 3 sections this year.
- PK-2 car-riders will dismiss from and should be dropped off at the front office loop and will wait in the gym until they are dismissed to their classrooms.
Third, Fourth, Fifth
- We will be departmentalized in these grade levels which means that your child will be switching classes one to two times during the school day.
- 3rd-5th car-riders will dismiss from and should be dropped off at the cafe loop and will wait in the cafeteria until they are dismissed to their classroom.
- 3rd grade has 5 educators, 4th grade has 3 educators, and 5th grade has 4 educators on their teams.
Walkers and Bike Riders
- Will dismiss from the doors near the big kid playground.
- Will not be able to stay and play on the playground after school unless a parent/guardian is supervising them.
- Please be mindful of the fact that children will be walking or biking through adjacent neighborhoods before and after school. Please help us keep everyone safe.
Buses
- We will have a bus or two that will drop off and pick up children on both loops.
- Please allow buses the right of way in our parking lot and please allow them to park or stop in the areas we will designate for them.
First Day Drop Off
- We know that everyone is excited for a first day send off and photo. You are welcome to walk your child in on the first day of school. We do ask that our kids demonstrate their independence and walk in on their own starting on the 2nd day. Thank you.
- Parents are invited to attend the PTO sponsored BooHoo YaHoo breakfast in the library after the first day drop off.
Arrival and Departure Times:
- Doors open at 7:20 in the morning.
- Learners are counted TARDY if they are not in class at 7:40 am when the tardy bell rings.

Meet the Teacher
- Is a Come and Go Event for our kids and parents in grade Pre-K through 5th that will take place on Monday the 12th beginning at 6pm and ending at 7pm. We look forward to seeing you!
- You can also meet our new Assistant Principal, Rachel Schneider, and our new Counselor, Lindsey Oh, in the library between 6&7 pm Monday evening. We hope you take a moment to stop in and say hello.
Class Lists
- If you have enrolled, registered, and sent in your utility bill then this Friday, August the 9th between 3:30pm and 4:30pm you will receive an email from your child's teacher welcoming them to their class and letting you know what room they are in for the new year. Please keep an eye out for that email.
PTO
Lakeside PTO is gearing up for a GREAT year.
As you're preparing for Back to School, you will want to check out the PTO Website and create your account. If you’ve already created an account, don't forget to update your class information as soon as you find out who your teacher will be. The website is a great way to stay up-to-date with what's going on around our campus and throughout the district.
You can learn about upcoming events like:
- the Lakeside Family Play Date on Aug 10 and
- the Boohoo Yahoo Breakfast on the first day of school.
- I hope you will stop by after morning drop off on Sept 9 at 7:45 am for our first PTO meeting of the year. You'll get to meet other parents and stay in-the-know about all things Lakeside.
