April 6 - 10, 2020

True Heros and Winners of the Week! 
Lakeside Lightning,

It's All About Respect at LMS! 

We are going into our 4th week of Remote Learning this week. It is also the week before Spring Break. There will be no Remote Learning during the Spring Break (April 9 at 1:00 PM - April 19). We will resume Remote Learning on April 20 unless otherwise instructed. 

We wanted to thank all of the parents and students for their support and flexibility during this time. It has not been easy for anyone and we recognize that. 

Our goal at Lakeside Middle School is not to simply "keep the learning going." We are seeking ways to do things differently and authentically so that the students, teachers and parents can work collaboratively on interesting projects and learning opportunities.

We also feel that this time of Remote Learning is an excellent opportunity for our school community to participate (in whatever way we can) to assist our Millville community through food pantries, helping needy families, making masks for social distancing, and much more. This is a time for all of us to see the interconnected nature of this world and to show empathy for each other. We are all going through a lot and therefore we need to help each other out. We encourage everyone to continue to listen to the experts as they say we need to Social Distance and Physical Distance. This will be over soon, but we need to take it day by day.

Assignments are updated for this week 


Announcements - Live Monday through Thursday this week on Lakeside Official Facebook Page at 8:32 AM. 

Mark Your Calenders for our April 9, 2020 "Virtual Bubbles for Autism"
In light of April being Autism Awareness month, Ms, Interlante thought that it might be fun to have a district wide "virtual" Bubbles for Autism event.
How can you participate? Simple! Just take a picture of yourself blowing bubbles and post it to Facebook (or even Instagram!) Use the hashtag #mpsbubblesforautism
Don't have bubbles?





Lakeside Pays it Forward
The Lakeside staff and familes teamed up  to support the Child Family Center's monthly Food Pantry. We raised 800.00 dollars for food that was distributed to needy families on March 31, 2020. The next Food Pantry is scheduled for April 21. Stay tuned for how you can help out.

Ms. Harden, Child Study Team Social Worker, identified a family in need and raised 200.00 dollars to support their needs during this crucial time. Thank you to Ms. Harden for her coordination of this kind gesture.

Ms. DeVol's Science Experiments 
I offered my students an alternative science assignment for Week 3/4. The students had to create anything using a cereal box as the base and answer a few questions on Google Classroom. I had a few students complete the project already and share some pictures. I am impressed by their creativity.

Helping Parents Understand Infinite Campus 

As we get closer to distributing report cards for the 3rd Marking Period, there are many parents that have not setup their Infinite Campus Parent Portal accounts which will provide a copy of Progress Reports and Report Cards. Below is a short video explaining how to setup IC Parent Portal account and to receive the activation code. Watch this video! 

Scanning in Documents 
Want to scan a document, but don't own a scanner? Did you know you can scan a document using the notes app on your iPhone?!  Simply open a new note, click the camera icon that pops up, then choose scan documents. It will have you hold the document a certain way and you will see that it’s scanning it, but the best part is it will save all of the pages as a PDF, which is perfect to email to your teachers if they want to see worksheets you’ve completed. Not sure how to email? See the link above.
