Lakeside Lightning Round May 31 - June 4, 2021


 Lakeside Lightning, 

The School of Tomorrow, Today! 

We want to start out by thanking those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country on this Memorial Day Holiday. At Lakeside Middle School, we believe that Memorial Day is a day to pause and reflect on those who served our country and died while serving in the military. Prior to COVID we would do an assembly and events to mark this time. It is our intention to continue that next year. 

Can you believe that it is June already? We can't either. At Lakeside Middle, we will continue with our academics as well as our Social and Emotional initiatives in the month of June. Unlike the past years we will not be doing a "Finals Week" but rather all subjects will have their own academic conclusion to the year. Here are a few important dates for June and the academic calendar can be found here:

  • June 2, 2021 - This is an in-person day due to the Memorial Day Holiday 
  • June 8, 2021 - 8th Grade Barbeque 
  • June 11, 2021 - 8th Grade Ice Cream Social 
  • June 14, 2021 - 8th Grade Step Up Ceremony
  • June 15, 2021 - Last Day of school for 2020-21 School Year (1:05 PM Dismissal)
