Lakeside Lightning,
The School of Tomorrow, Today!
We had such a special week last week as we celebrated our staff. Each day we were able to recognize staff with treats, cards and even some down time. We are so grateful for the contribution of our staff to Lakeside Middle School. We are very grateful for our PTA President Jen Tostevin. The PTA made individual gift bags for each staff member with personalized notes.
We also had the pleasure of working with students and parents on our annual focus groups. The student session was hosted by Dr. Cook and Ms. Gaunt. During the session, over 80 students in small groups were able to share their frustrations along with their positives concerning Lakeside. One of the most important themes to arise in the student focus groups was the positive impact our staff has on the students! Not to be outdone, the parent sessions were equally informative and enlightening. Dr. Cook, along with Mrs. Sharpless, hosted the parent sessions through Zoom, and askes similar questions. Parents raved about the positive impact our staff has on our learning environment.
Dr. Cook, Principal of Lakeside Middle School, had this to say about the focus groups, "I am always impressed with the open and honest discussions that take place in our annual focus groups with the parents and students. We get such authentic feedback and many of the ideas end up being areas we work on through our School Improvement Plan."
The School Improvement Team will begin meeting this week and will develop a process of sharing the information with school community.
