Lightning Round: October 26

Lakeside Lightning,

The School of Tomorrow, Today!

At Lakeside we PIVOT! Ever since the pandemic started we have had to change and adapt with challenges and opportunities. This week we had to continue to Pivot as we dealt with our first case of COVID 19. We want to thank everyone for their support and understanding.

As for the safety of the staff and students, Dr. Cook, Principal said, "According to the Department of Health we are not considered "close contacts" due to the fact that we wear masks, practice social distancing, and wash hands frequently. With that said, we are operating with an abundance of caution." We will continue to put our reopening plan in to practice to ensure the safety of our staff and students.

Here are resources for parents, students and staff:
