Lake Families,

Our School Site Council identified the need for families to access resources at home, so we created a Family Resource Center (see below), and with the help of the amazing Mrs. Marina Kozyryev, we NOW have this Lake Website Links by Grade Level.

Please mark your calendars for the Festival of the Arts on Saturday, October 19th from 10:00 to 4:00, with our very own Dolphtones performing on the main stage at 10:00! We will need volunteers to assist us. ESPECIALLY with the set up and take-down time slots. Here is a message from our incredible teachers with more info on volunteering:

Hello Lake Families!

We need some help staffing our booth at the Vista Festival of the Arts Saturday, October 19th from 8:00 am (setup) - 4:00pm. Ms. Beth Preece Foster, our Digital Media Arts Teacher would love your help as she will be supporting Lake and Breeze Hill Elementary at the festival. Our lovely PTA has created a sign-up genius in one-hour increments.

Please consider volunteering for an hour while you are there. It is sure to be an amazing day filled with music, dancing, art, and more.

Thank you so much for all you do.

Familias de Lake,

Nuestro Consejo Escolar identificó la necesidad de que las familias accedan a recursos en casa, por lo que creamos un Centro de Recursos Familiares (ver a continuación) y, con la ayuda de la increíble Sra. Marina Kozyryev, AHORA tenemos estos enlaces del sitio web de Lake por nivel de grado.

Marque sus calendarios para el Festival de las Artes el sábado 19 de octubre de 10:00 a 4:00 pm, ¡con nuestros propios Dolphtones actuando en el escenario principal a las 10:00! Necesitaremos voluntarios que nos ayuden. ESPECIALMENTE con los horarios de montaje y desmontaje. Aquí hay un mensaje de nuestras increíbles maestras con más información sobre el voluntariado:

¡Hola, familias de Lake!

Necesitamos ayuda para dotar de personal a nuestro stand en el Festival de las Artes de Vista el sábado 19 de octubre de 8:00 a. m. (montaje) a 4:00 p. m. A la Sra. Beth Preece Foster, nuestra maestra de Artes de Medios Digitales, le encantaría recibir su ayuda, ya que apoyará a Lake y Breeze Hill Elementary en el festival. Nuestra encantadora PTA ha creado un programa de inscripción genial en incrementos de una hora.

Considere la posibilidad de ofrecerse como voluntario durante una hora mientras esté allí. Seguro que será un día increíble lleno de música, baile, arte y más.

Muchas gracias por todo lo que hace.

Hello everyone! Please check out the lost and found. Everything will be donated before Thanksgiving break! Here are some tips on how to make it easier for you to find an item.

1. Write down your student's name on the item Ex: John Smith
2. Check the lost and found often.
3. Remind your students to take stuff home or to check the lost and found.

Dear Families,

What a great start to the beginning of the year! We’re thrilled to announce an exciting project to enhance our tk/kindergarten playground, and we need your support to make it a reality! Our goal is to create a dynamic, interactive space where our children can thrive socially, emotionally, and physically. With your help, we are hoping to transform our TK/Kindergarten playground into a shaded play area with many different zones of play. On these HOT sunny days we have very minimal shade and play is limited to the play structure and sand box.

We hope you can join us for a Playground Beautification Community Work Day where we’ll be putting together some fantastic new physical education equipment for our students. We have a variety of items to assemble including a chalk wall, bubble table, play kitchen, playhouse, basketball hoop, soccer goals, shade sails, and more!

As teachers, we are eager to create an engaging play environment, but with the few of us, we could use your building skills! If you have tools, please bring them along, and any extra hands will be greatly appreciated.

This is a wonderful opportunity to come together as a community, lend a hand, and help enhance our students' play and learning experiences. Please let us know if you can join us by signing up here:

Thank you for being such an important part of our school community. We can’t wait to see everyone there!

Best regards,

Lake Elementary TK and Kindergarten Teachers

Halloween Parade Details

We want to welcome you on campus on October 31 for our Halloween parade. We will begin at approximately 8:05 am.

If you'd like to attend with your child, you can walk in the main gate with them and head to the track to pick your spot to watch the parade.

Immediately after the parade, we will make an announcement for parents to exit campus so instruction can begin.

Costume Guidelines

- No masks are allowed.

- Wear shoes. Safety regulations require students to wear shoes at all times.

- We promote a safe and friendly environment at Lake. Simulated weapons, blood, and gore do not support this philosophy. Toy guns, toy knives, handcuffs, swords, nun chucks, etc. are not permitted. Children with bloody make-up will be asked to remove it before joining the parade.

- Costumes that portray violent movies/TV shows (Scream, Freddy Krueger, etc.) are not appropriate at school. Remember, we have young children participating in this activity. Save these costumes for after school events and trick-or-treating.

- Display respect for other cultures. Stereotyping or ridiculing other races or cultures is unacceptable.

If these student does not follow these guidelines, parents will be called and the student will need to change out of their costume into other clothes.

Detalles del desfile de Halloween

Queremos darle la bienvenida al campus el 31 de octubre para nuestro desfile de Halloween. Comenzaremos aproximadamente a las 8:05 a. m.

Si desea asistir con su hijo, puede caminar por la puerta principal con él y dirigirse a la pista para elegir su lugar para ver el desfile.

Inmediatamente después del desfile, haremos un anuncio para que los padres salgan del campus para que pueda comenzar la instrucción.

Pautas para disfraces

- No se permiten máscaras.

- Use zapatos. Las normas de seguridad requieren que los estudiantes usen zapatos en todo momento.

- Promovemos un entorno seguro y amigable en Lake. Las armas simuladas, la sangre y las vísceras no respaldan esta filosofía. No se permiten pistolas de juguete, cuchillos de juguete, esposas, espadas, monjas, etc. A los niños con maquillaje ensangrentado se les pedirá que se lo quiten antes de unirse al desfile.

- Los disfraces que representan películas o programas de televisión violentos (Scream, Freddy Krueger, etc.) no son apropiados en la escuela. Recuerde, tenemos niños pequeños que participan en esta actividad. Guarde estos disfraces para eventos extraescolares y para pedir dulces.

- Muestre respeto por otras culturas. No se acepta estereotipar ni ridiculizar a otras razas o culturas.

Si este estudiante no sigue estas pautas, se llamará a los padres y el estudiante deberá cambiarse el disfraz por otra ropa.

Lake PTA’s 2024 Reflections Program- Call for Entries! Be on the lookout for more information about our “Create Art” Day.

We will have two after school days to create art to be entered into the Reflections Art program. The days will be Tuesday, October 8th from 2:25-3:25 and Tuesday, October 15th from 2:25-3:25. Space is limited, so please sign up via the link for one day only: Reflections Create Art Day

“Accepting Imperfection” is the theme for the 2024-25 Reflections Art Program, which has been bringing the arts to life for more than 10 million students since 1969. California State PTA and its members, families and kids are on the forefront of this amazing program, which increases community awareness of the importance of arts in education.

Reflections encourages students of all ages to:

• Unleash creative talents and be inspired

• Express themselves imaginatively in their artwork

• Experience the fun and joy of making art

• Tap into critical thinking skills to create art inspired by the annual theme

• Receive positive recognition for their original works of art.

We are excited to announce that we adopted a new form of school-to-home communication at Vista Unified School District called ParentSquare for the 2024-2025 school year. (This replaces Remind) This unified communications platform is designed to keep parents and guardians informed and encourage greater engagement and connection.
