Lakeside Elementary
Just the Facts...November 3, 2021
Lakeside has Heart!
Thank you for trusting us with your children and thank you for your partnership.
News you can use
- Please remember that our kids must be seated in class by 7:40am. Any child that is not in class at that time will be marked tardy. Upon a tardy arrival, parents will need to escort kids to the front door. Our front door is locked at 7:40am.
- All staff must enter the building and begin their daily assignment at 7:40am.
- If you have an independent 1st or 2nd grader that is able to get out of their seatbelt, open their own car door, and exit the car without assistance you may want to use our cafeteria loop for morning arrival.
- Any child that is in EC, PK, K who requires some assistance should use the office loop during morning arrival. We have several adult helpers on hand to help transition our kids into the building.
- If your child is struggling or refusing to get out of the car (because they are still sleepy, eating, or crying, etc) we kindly ask you to park and assist them in order to keep our car loop moving.
Rainy Days
- Arrival and Dismissal on a rainy day will take more time.
Loop Reminders
- Please do not double park or block traffic
- Please do not exit your car
- Please use the crosswalk

Unfortunately, due to Covid-19 restrictions, parents will not be able to attend the Book Fair with their child. However, there are a few ways in which you can help your child shop:
- Our Book Fair offers a cash-free payment option called eWallet. It’s a convenient digital account that your child can use for shopping at our Fair. Grandparents, friends, and others can contribute too! Please note that any unused funds in the eWallet can be saved for future Book Fairs. The eWallet money is connected to the email you use to sign up and will transfer with your child if they change schools.
- If you can’t make it to the Fair, then shop online at our school’s Virtual Book Fair. All orders ship directly to your home, and shipping is free for book orders over $25. Your online order will also benefit our school. Visit our homepage to get started: [goog_1450987419] https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/lakesideelementaryschool8
- We will have more information for you regarding the eWallet on a letter sent home with each student next Monday!
Also, we need Volunteers! Below you will find a Signup Genius that includes the Book Fair. Please know that you can sign up for more than one block at a time (even consecutive blocks): https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B094BAFA72CA57-lakeside
