There are 7 important announcements for the Lakeside Elementary Community:
1. As of Sunday afternoon, the sidewalks at Lakeside are still ice. We are asking families who drop off their learners in the morning to use the lane closest to the school. Please drop off the learners right in front of the school’s awning and have them leave the car on the passenger side, if possible.
2. The Grade 1 program scheduled for February 12 has been moved to the spring due to missing important preparation days. The date will be announced at a later time.
3. The Book Fair is scheduled for the week of February 9th.
4. We have a fun-filled day scheduled for February 12 which will include the AR Reward of taping Dr. M to the wall, the Kindergarten Family Lunch, Valentine’s Day Party, last day of the School Book Fair, and even a special PTO Valentine’s Day Dance for students from 6:30-7:30 PM.
5. As school spring field trips are coming up, we are planning a series of Fun Fundraisers to help cover expenses. The first is a Jersey Day on Friday, February 6, a Camo Day on Monday, February 9, and a Hat Day on Friday, February 20. Participation in each event is $1.

Two important announcements about Non-Traditional Instruction Days.

1) Information regarding Lakeside’s procedures for Non-Traditional Instruction Days is being sent home with students. The guidance is also published on the school website. The guidance includes student expectations, student supports, contact information, and other helpful information. Please review this in the event of a Non-Traditional Instruction Day.

2) Please know that student iPads are being sent home over Christmas break. Please leave the iPads in the students’ backpacks unless a non-traditional instruction day is called by the county. The iPads are property of Putnam County Schools. The devices can be monitored and tracked.

Please call the school if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you and have a wonderful evening!
