Lake Families,

As we embrace this season of Thanksgiving, I am deeply grateful to be part of such an extraordinary community. The dedication and innovation on display across Lake highlight a culture of excellence, from the hands-on creativity of project-based learning to the inclusivity of Universal Design for Learning and the transformative impact of the Science of Reading. Together, these efforts maximize the potential of our students and reflect the incredible work happening here every day.

Even when the unexpected happens, Lake shines strong. Last Friday, an unplanned fire alarm went off during arrival time. There was no fire, and no alarm was pulled. The fire department arrived promptly, conducted a thorough safety check, and cleared us to proceed with our day as usual. To follow up on this, we are in the process of checking all fire detectors and sensors.

I am incredibly proud of how our entire school community responded. Our staff and AM/PM teams did an excellent job keeping students calm and supported throughout the event, ensuring their safety and comfort. With parent conferences happening in classrooms, the Book Fair in Rose Hall, and all arriving for the day, I also want to thank Lake families and volunteers for the collectively calm and patient response. Additionally, our cafeteria staff went above and beyond to make sure all students who needed breakfast were able to receive it, even with the unexpected disruption. This event highlighted the importance of our regular safety drills, as everyone followed the practiced protocols with calmness and focus.

Thank you for your continued support in keeping Lake a safe and caring environment for all. EnJOY this week ahead as we also look forward to the Thanksgiving Break. As a reminder, school will be closed Monday through Friday 11/25 - 11/29 and resume on Monday, 12/2.

In partnership with you,

Familias de Lake,

Mientras nos acercamos a esta temporada de Acción de Gracias, estoy profundamente agradecida de ser parte de una comunidad tan extraordinaria. La dedicación y la innovación que se exhiben en Lake resaltan una cultura de excelencia, desde la creatividad práctica del aprendizaje basado en proyectos hasta la inclusión del Diseño Universal para el Aprendizaje y el impacto transformador de la Ciencia de la Lectura. Juntos, estos esfuerzos maximizan el potencial de nuestros estudiantes y reflejan el increíble trabajo que se realiza aquí todos los días.

Incluso cuando sucede lo inesperado, Lake brilla con fuerza. El viernes pasado, una alarma de incendio no planificada sonó durante la hora de llegada. No hubo incendio y no se activó ninguna alarma. El departamento de bomberos llegó puntualmente, realizó un control de seguridad exhaustivo y nos dio permiso para continuar con nuestro día como de costumbre. Para dar seguimiento a esto, estamos en el proceso de verificar todos los detectores y sensores de incendios.

Estoy increíblemente orgullosa de cómo respondió toda nuestra comunidad escolar. Nuestro personal y los equipos AM/PM hicieron un excelente trabajo manteniendo a los estudiantes tranquilos y apoyados durante todo el evento, asegurando su seguridad y comodidad. Con las conferencias de padres en las aulas, la Feria del Libro en Rose Hall y todos llegando para el día, también quiero agradecer a las familias y voluntarios de Lake por la respuesta colectiva tranquila y paciente. Además, nuestro personal de la cafetería hizo todo lo posible para asegurarse de que todos los estudiantes que necesitaban el desayuno pudieran recibirlo, incluso con la interrupción inesperada. Este evento destacó la importancia de nuestros simulacros de seguridad regulares, ya que todos siguieron los protocolos practicados con calma y concentración.

Gracias por su continuo apoyo para mantener a Lake como un entorno seguro y solidario para todos. DISFRUTE esta semana que se avecina mientras también esperamos con ansias las vacaciones de Acción de Gracias. Como recordatorio, la escuela estará cerrada de lunes a viernes del 25 al 29 de noviembre y se reanudará el lunes 2 de diciembre.

En asociación con usted,

Dr. Davina Stringer
