This Week's News

We hope you enjoyed your three-day weekend! We kick off homecoming week today and have plenty of fun-filled events planned. Please read below carefully as there is a lot going on! Have a great week.

As a friendly reminder, our goal at Lakeside is for every student to attend regularly. Regular attendance means your student misses no more than 2 days a month. Altogether, our 2024-2025 goal is for every student to only have 9 or less absences, excused or unexcused. "9 days or less for School Success!"

We are striving for a 90% attendance rate district wide. Below are last week's percentages for each school:

LES: 86.96%
LMS: 86.53%

LHS: 86.46%

We have seen an increase is sicknesses going around. Please make sure your students are getting plenty of rest and staying as healthy as they can. We are falling below our goal of 90%, so let's push our students to be here every day!

We are running into some issues with pick up times at the end of the day. If you are checking out your student, it needs to be done NO LATER than 2:30pm. If you are here later than 2:30pm, you will need to wait outside and pick them up when they are dismissed from school at 3:00pm. If you need them to change buses, you need to call NO LATER than 1:00pm so they can get a bus note.

This morning, we rolled out our House Systems and each student opened a fortune cookie to be sorted into their house. They were able to walk the red carpet as they met their house leaders at the end of the runway!

As a reminder, the house system is a way to increases students’ motivation to succeed in school by fostering a sense of belonging among all students and staff, and parents often report feeling more connected to the school community as well. To achieve this, each student will be a part of one of four houses and will have the opportunity to participate in house-specific events and activities throughout the year. (Parents will have some opportunities to participate, too!) By being a part of a house, every child has a smaller group within the larger school community. In other words, every student will have “a crew and a cause.” Additionally, students will have the opportunity to take on leadership roles within their houses, such as serving as heads of house, heads of committees, or organizers of house events.

Throughout the school year, students will have the opportunity to receive points for their houses. Points are awarded for going above and beyond expectations in areas such as academic achievement, character, school spirit, and uplifting others. While points are not the primary purpose of this program, when students work together to earn points for their houses, they celebrate, support, and encourage one another to achieve excellence. The house who earns the most points at the end of the year will be named the House Champions!
