We are really enjoying the summer at Lakeside. There are so many positives things going on with the school and we are very excited!
This week we had a few sessions to discuss the ideas about the changes at LMS. On Monday, July 24 we hosted 25 voluntary staff members to review and plan for the year. We accomplished a lot. Our main focus was to strengthen our new "Advisory" period that each student will have everyday for 20 minutes. The Advisory will be replacing the AVID strategies period but will still contain many of the same characteristics of the AVID Strategies class.
LMS staff hard at work!
The purpose of the Advisory is to provide a personalized support for the academic, social and emotional needs of our students through a focus on Character Education. We are looking to make the Advisory period purposeful, and we already have staff that would like to assist students with anti-bullying, Mindfulness, Yoga, Study Skills, as well as team building. Stay tuned for more details on this new initiative.
On Tuesday, July 25 we hosted about 150 parents to discuss the proposed changes at LMS. We reviewed the new courses, discussed Zero Period, and some of the changes to our dismissal procedures.

2017 Boot Camp for Incoming 6th graders
Incoming 6th graders are invited to sign up for a Boot Camp session (click here). The Boot Camp will be a great opportunity for incoming 6th graders to learn about Lakeside Middle School. Students who attended last year raved about how fun and exciting it was... so you don't want to miss out on this opportunity! Slots fill up quickly!
21st Century
This summer the students in the 21st Century program got the opportunity to explore Cumberland County. They were able to fish and swim in Union Lake, construct robots and make clay pots at the local Clay College. According to Mrs. Gandy, the coordinator, "The students did an amazing job this summer whether we were at Lakeside or out exploring the world. I feel the students and staff were able to learn in a fun setting!" Here are some pictures from the summer program:
