The School of Tomorrow, Today!
Important news for In-Person Students
This is a reminder that our Orange and Blue Cohorts will be combining on April 19, 2021 and these students will be going to in-person school Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday for the remainder of the school year. Wednesdays will continue to be a Remote Day following the same schedule as we have had all year. Virtual students are required to log into each class through Google Classroom everyday. Here is a link to April calendar (and it is always on the right hand side of the blog and our school website).
Our Vice Principals have a Welcome Back Presentation for each Grade Level on Monday, April 19, 2021. 6th grade - 1st period; 7th grade - 2nd period8th grade - 5th period
We are so excited to be expanding In-Person learning to 4 days a week. We have installed plexiglass dividers in classrooms where students will be closer that 6 feet. Staff and students will continue to wear masks and practice social/physical distancing.

Amnesty and Reward Weeks Was an Overwhelming Success
Prior to the Spring Break, the Lakeside Staff gave Amnesty to students who were struggling to get things in on time during this pandemic learning experience. Students were able to make up work from the 3rd marking period and although they didn't get full credit, they were able to get some credit which helped a lot. While Amnesty was occurring, the students who had been handing in everything were able to enjoy rewards!

Saturday Enrichment Program Gets Off to a Great Start
We have 60 students in grades 6-8 who have committed to a 10 week Saturday Enrichment Program to bolster their grades and learning. The coordinator of the program, Mrs. Sharpless, said this about the opening day on April 17, "The students and staff did an incredible job this week. In addition to setting the tone and objectives of the program, the students were able to begin identifying areas they want to learn more about. The staff developed interesting, real world applications for the students. We are very excited about this program!" In addition to Mrs. Sharpless, Mrs. Steelman is Security, Ms. Langlois and Ms. McCallion are the 6/7 teachers and Ms. Shelton and Mr. Fry are the 7/8 teachers.
