2) The dates are set for conferences. Staff is not able to coordinate conferences outside of the established dates and times.
*If you have more than one student at Lakeside, use the “Register for Multiple Conferences” process. You will be able to see multiple teacher’s schedules to make scheduling easier for your family.

Friends Make a Difference Mentoring Program
We have a great opportunity to be a mentor to a Lakeside student! We meet once a month during the lunch period.
Mentorship can make a positive difference in the life of a young person, the mentor, and the community. Investing time and energy in long-term mentor/mentee relationships with our youth is beneficial in preparing them for a future of serving themselves and others. Research confirms that mentoring works!
We encourage you to consider helping make a difference by participating in the valuable friendship mentoring program.
