May 11 - 15, 2020

Lakeside Lightning,

It's All About Respect at LMS! 

We want to start out by thanking everyone for their support of our entire LMS Staff for Staff Appreciation Week. It was so nice to get all of the well wishes, videos and pictures! Over the past few years our PTO have been so supportive of the Staff through various activities and the Staff Appreciation Week was a big part of that!

Since we could not meet in person, we made a video for our staff. The video has messages from students, parents, and administration. There are even some pictures from throughout the year for everyone to reminisce.




Please take a few minutes to enjoy the 2020 Staff Appreciation Week Video:

End of the Year Activities 
Our staff and administration met to discuss our end of the year activities. We will be doing things a bit differently considering the limits placed on us in regards to the COVID-19 pandemic. Once our dates and times are finalized we will be sending out information to parents and students. Here is what we have so far:

  • 5th into 6th grade presentations will be recorded and sent to elementary schools. We will be creating a "Welcome to Lakeside" video with an extensive tour of the building and staff messages. New Student Orientation, usually scheduled for the end of August, is put on hold for now. 
  • Chromebooks, yearbooks, certificates, locker belongings, refunds, 8th grade T-Shirts etc pick ups will be scheduled for sometime during the 2nd or 3rd week of June. 
  • 8th Grade Step Up, due to the New Jersey Guidelines set forth in Administrative Order 2020-4 and Executive Order 107, will be done virtually with a date set very soon. We will be doing our best to continue the meaning of the ceremony while honoring all of our 8th graders!

Mrs. Salvati is doing a pizza give away every Friday for her students who do not have more than 2 missing assignments (and are signed up for my Remind). Friday's winner was Arielis Martinez. Manny’s delivered pizza and cheese fries to her and her family.
