Be sure to write this down and on the first day of school this is where you will directly report.

Student schedules will be distributed on the first day of school in homeroom.

Thank you to our Custodian Crew for transforming LMS!

Lakeside Lightning,

It's All About Respect at LMS!

We had a very successful Boot Camp last week. Throughout the 2 days and 4 sessions there were 105 students and about 50 parents in total. Students learned how to build their binders, toured the school and got a chance to meet some of our amazing staff. Parents also had a tour of Lakeside and were able to ask Dr. Cook about the school. Thank you to Mr. Godfrey for organizing our 3rd annual Boot Camp!

This week we have the 6th grade Orientation on Tuesday, August 28 at 6:00 PM. Parents and students are encouraged to attend to learn about the important updates as well as the policies, procedures and expectations of our school.

A big thank you goes out to all who attended our calendar planning and brainstorming session on Wednesday. Staff who attended were able to provide ideas for the upcoming school year as we continue to work collaboratively to make Lakeside the best!

The Gifted and Talented Camp had a Hot Air Balloon at LMS

Lakeside Lightning,

It's All About Respect At LMS!

We hope that you are enjoying your Summer! Over the course of the Summer, we have been very busy here at LMS. We hosted several Summer Camps throughout June, July and August with over 600 students! In addition, we started our first Summer School with 28 students completing the requirements to move onto their next grade.

Our custodians have been extremely busy balancing all of the Summer Camps and cleaning the entire school. We really appreciate our custodians and the hard work they do to ensure our school is prepared for the new school year.

The 3rd Annual 6th Grade Boot Camp will be held on August 20 and 21. We have had over 90 students register for this informative session. There are still spots available on August 21. Please click this link to register.

We will be hosting our annual 6th Grade Parent Orientation on Tuesday, August 28, 2018 @ 6:00 PM in the Lakeside Auditorium. This will be a great opportunity for parents to learn more about what to expect at LMS in the upcoming school year.
