Mrs. Smith’s Snapchat…
Hello Lakeside Parents and Guardians,
This is Mrs. Smith, principal at Lakeside Elementary School.
Thank you for your support and engagement as we continue virtual learning. Please remind your student of the expectations regarding attending class via Zoom. Our students are doing a GREAT job adjusting and staying focused!
Please reach out to your student's teacher, Mrs. Brown (school Counselor), Mrs. Aldrich (school dean), or myself if you have any questions or need assistance. We are here to help in any way possible.
This week we have 4 points to cover:
1st: School Schedule - we are entering our final week of school before Winter Break begins. It is extremely important for all students to attend school this week and complete all assigned activities. This is their last opportunity to get assignments turned in before report cards are completed.
2nd: Report Cards - report cards will be uploaded to ParentVue on December 18th. This means you will be able to view your child's grades for quarter 2 as well as the semester. Please contact the front office if you need assistance logging in.
3rd: Our Holiday Spirt Week is next week. Monday: Favorite Holiday Colors, Tuesday: Holiday Headwear, Wednesday: Flannel Day, Thursday: Holiday Sweater, and Friday: Cozy Pajama Day.
4th: As Dr. Hanson stated in his Thursday email. Based on our district COVID data and the impact that COVID cases are having on staffing, all MSD Warren K-12 students will remain virtual through at least January 15. A public board work session is scheduled for Monday, December 14 at 6 PM to review and discuss plans for after January 15. Communication of any decisions will be shared with our staff and families as soon as possible.
As always, I thank you for your continued support of Lakeside Elementary and Warren Township! Take care, be safe, and have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Smith

Student Devices
We are excited to provide students with technology to enhance their learning experiences in the MSD of Warren Township. Each student K-4 is assigned an iPad for virtual and in-person classroom use. Devices will be kept at school and charged in a classroom cart. Students are responsible for the proper care and use of their device.
Each device is covered by a district-sponsored insurance program for damage. This keeps charges for both intentional and accidental damages low. Both purposeful and accidental damage will be charged at a reduced rate.

2nd-$25
3rd-$50

CAR RIDERS/DAYCARE Student Drop-off/Pick-up Procedures
We ask that our parents follow these guidelines to ensure that every student has a safe arrival and dismissal:
All students will be required to be dropped off and picked up through the car rider line to maintain safety standards. Parking at the front and East end of the building and walking children to and from the entrances will not be allowed. We want to prevent children and adults walking through the path of cars or buses on the property at any time.
Staff members will be present outside beginning at 7:55 a.m. each morning for student drop-off. Please do not release your children until a staff member signals the beginning of our process. Students will not be counted tardy until 8:05 a.m. Our afternoon pick-up procedures will begin at 3:00 p.m. If you are in a hurry, you are encouraged to be at or near the front of the line. We will implement our dismissal procedures as quickly and safely as possible for all.
Thank you very much for your support with helping ensure Lakeside maintains safety as our priority during our student entrance and dismissal each day!
DON’T FORGET TO PICK UP YOUR CAR RIDER SIGN IN THE FRONT OFFICE!!

SCHOOL DISTRICT PUBLICATIONS/NEWS MEDIA USE
The occasion may arise when the school district wants to recognize your child or your child's school. This may include your child's photo, your child's name or your child's work in district publications, newsletters, on school district websites, and in electronic/social media or in staff training videos. We may also want to tell the media (including newspapers, television, and radio) about your child's achievements. We never knowingly release information about a student to anyone who wants to use it for commercial/political purposes. However, we will honor your request to not include your child in these types of recognitions if you notify your child's school office in writing that you do not want this type of information released.
