Mrs. Smith’s Snapchat…
Hello Lakeside Parents and Guardians,
Welcome Back! Welcome to the 2019-2020 school year. This past week, our staff has been teaching C.O.R.E. principles in Warren. The acronym C.O.R.E. standards for Civility, Order, Respect, and Excellence. C.O.R.E is what we stand for at Lakeside and in the entire Warren Township community. We are explicitly teaching expected behaviors from the time students get on the bus in the morning and until the time they get off the bus in the afternoon. Each student will be expected to know the desired behaviors and will be responsible for doing his/her part in helping school staff in developing a safe and positive environment for everyone. We will also appreciate your support with C.O.R.E. at home! In particular, I sincerely appreciate how well drop-off and pick-up have gone this week. Safety and security are paramount each and every day, and I thank you for your efforts with ensuring expectations are respected. Furthermore, if you are on Twitter and/or Facebook, please follow us.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Smith

Attendance Matters, Facts Matters, Information Matters

3. Research shows that missing 10 percent of the school, or about 18 days in most school districts, negatively affects a student’s academic performance. That’s just two days a month and that’s known as chronic absence. Read more...
4. When students improve their attendance rates, they improve their academic prospects and chances for graduating. Read more...

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!!
