Mrs. Smith’s Snapchat…
Good Evening Lakeside Families,
I would like to acknowledge our outstanding Lakeside staff and wish all of our teachers Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! Teachers do much more than teach. They create environments that inspire success, they empower students to follow their dreams. Each one makes an impact that lasts today, tomorrow, and forever. For all the things they do, for who they are and for who they inspire us to become, we offer our most sincere thank you to our teachers.
I would also like to extend appreciation for our frontline workers, especially our nurses as we celebrated National Nurses Day this past Wednesday! Thank you for the sacrifices you make and all that you do to serve others.

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.
