Lightning Round: Lakeside Lightning Round - January 10

We wish Ms. Saul (r) on her new venture in California

Lakeside Lightning,

Grow through what you go through

It looks as if 2022 will be forcing us to Pivot just as much as 2020 and 2021 did. We have seen an increase in the county number of COVID 19 and we had two snowstorms that caused us to alter our schedule. We really appreciate everyone's patience as we continue to face these challenges and attempt to solve the problems.

Based on the feedback from the staff, the Virtual Day on January 7, 2022 was very positive. Teachers reported that students were engaged online and our attendance was impressive. Again, our teachers and staff did not have a lot of preparation time for this and handled it amazingly!!!!

We will be back in-person this week.
