Just the Facts...October 7, 2020
What Starts Here Changes The World...
Hello Lakeside Families and Friends,
We are getting ready to start our second grading period on Tuesday, October 13th. I want to take a minute to welcome our face to face friends back to Lakeside and I want to wish our virtual friends a wonderful transition to the next nine weeks. Just in case you are wondering, Lakeside will roughly have 44% of our kids on campus for face to face instruction with our remaining enrollment participating virtually.
I want to take a minute to thank our team of educators for working so diligently to customize the learning environments and instruction for our kids in their individually chosen locations. Thank you for your partnerships as we strive for an outstanding (and healthy) year.
Please continue to refer to the CISD Return to School page on the district website (https://www.coppellisd.com/returntoschool) for additional updates.
Thank you for being a part of our WORLD CHANGING community.
News you can use...
From Ms. Keith
Hello parents of Lakeside scientists!
It's happening again! The International Space Station is flying directly over your house tonight.
- I signed up to get a text from NASA when the astronauts fly over 75019. Just got the word! Tonight the flyover will take 3 minutes.
- The time is 8:24pm. It will be at 66 degrees, which is very high in the sky. Visibility is 3 minutes.
- Go outside about 8:22 and look up. It's very bright as it flies overhead. It appears in the NW sky and disappears in the SSE sky.
- You can't miss it. This will be the 5th time I've seen it. Just takes my breath away every time, thinking there are humans 250 miles up there, traveling at a speed of 17,500 mph.
You can sign up here if you want to get the texts or send to relatives in other parts of the country/world.
Thank you for always keeping your child curious about science.

If your family could use a little extra help during the holiday season, please read about the Make A Child Smile program. The online registration window is from October 1-30, 2020.
Coughs and Fever and Illness oh my!
With the start of the second 9 weeks and flu season approaching, I’d like to remind you to utilize the Daily Home Screening for Students to assess your student for illness prior to sending them to school.
Symptoms of COVID-19 closely resemble that of other common illnesses and without a diagnostic test, it can be challenging to determine the cause of your student’s symptoms. For that reason, CISD is following the guidelines set forth by the Dallas County Health Department which call for a 10 day isolation period with improved symptoms and resolution of fever within 24 hrs without the aid of medication, OR an alternative diagnosis from a medical doctor, OR a negative COVID (PCR) test. Clearance by the school nurse is required before returning to campus.
2nd Nine Weeks for Specials for Virtual Learners
P.E.
Face to Face and Virtual Learners will be learning and practicing jump rope skills. So, if you are @home, it would be great to dig through those closets and find a jump rope.
ART
Virtual Learners will be using Water Colors for their @home Art projects.
*Please note: Lakeside is a polling location on November 3rd. Please keep your eyes open for a possible specials schedule adjustment that day.
