Message from the Principal
Lake Families,
What a JOYous week for our staff! Thanks to our INCREDIBLE PTA and families for showering us with so many treats and thoughtful expressions of gratitude. We feel honored to serve such a wonderful community!
If you have not already, thank you for taking a moment to complete THIS FORM if you would like us to celebrate meaningful and specific recognition/appreciation for a Lake staff member. Your words will be placed on a certificate for the staff member to keep. Thank you for taking the time!
May is Mental Health Awareness Month! This year’s theme is: “In Every Story, There’s Strength.” We celebrate the power of storytelling to fuel connection, understanding, and hope for those navigating their own mental health path. Each story shared is a testament to the possibility of recovery and the strength that lies within us all. On Friday, May 9th, students and staff are asked to WEAR GREEN to promote Mental Health Awareness. Here is the FLYER.
TO DO
We are planning for 2025-26! Please fill out the 2025-26 Information from Families for Lake Staff form to:
Let us know if your child is or is not returning to Lake
Tell us about your child’s interests, strengths, and needs to inform our planning for next year
In partnership with you,

¡Mayo es el mes de la Concientización sobre la Salud Mental! El tema de este año es: "En cada historia, hay fuerza". Celebramos el poder de contar historias para fomentar la conexión, la comprensión y la esperanza para quienes atraviesan su propio camino hacia la salud mental. Cada historia compartida es un testimonio de la posibilidad de recuperación y la fuerza que todos llevamos dentro. El viernes 9 de mayo, se les pide a los estudiantes y al personal que se vistan de verde para promover la concientización sobre la salud mental. Aquí está el VOLANTE.

Yearbooks are available for purchase! Order your child their memories for the year.
Looking to get involved in your child’s school, make a meaningful contribution to their educational environment, AND meet a bunch of fun people? PTA is the answer. We are looking for volunteers to join our PTA board for next year (2025-2026) and help create the magic only the PTA can bring to your child’s school. Fun events, after school clubs, teacher appreciation, field trips, and fundraising don’t happen by accident, it takes valuable individuals to help keep the engine of this machine running. Some of our open positions are listed below and we have additional opportunities available too. Reach out to us at lakedolphins@gmail.com if you are interested in joining our crew!

New Communication Tool - ParentSquare!
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.
