Lakeside Lightning Round - 2/28 - 3/4, 2022

March 4 and 5, 2022

Lakeside Lightning,

Grow through what you go through! 

We have a lot going on this week! As we enter March, we will be going back to full days. Although the early dismissal days allowed our staff to have the afternoon for their prep and PLC time, we are excited to be going to full days. The students will need to adjust to the longer classes and having lunch again in the cafeteria. We will be continuing the hallway sweeps. In addition, this week, if students have their hood up in the hallways, they will be facing similar consequences as our hallway sweeps. We have warned students far too many times about their hoods. 

The Little Mermaid Jr. 

The time is finally here! The Little Mermaid Jr. will be on Friday March 4th and Saturday March 5th here at LMS at 7:00pm. The cast and crew have been working relentlessly to make this show an absolute success. After nearly 2 years, we couldn't be more excited. Please consider purchasing tickets and attending the show to support them.

Dismissal Procedures changing 2/28/22

This is a reminder that we will be changing our dismissal procedures. These changes will go into effect on 2/28/22. We made a map for everyone to see the changes https://tinyurl.com/23cnhrhf

Lakeside Lightning Round February 21 - 25, 2022

 Lakeside Lightning, 

Grow through what you go through!

We have a lot to celebrate at Lakeside. This past week we started Operation Hallway Sweep. Administrators and Security were out in full force in the hallways to deter and then eventually address students late to class. "In just one week, we have seen the hallway traffic improve and a lot less kids are late," said Dr. Cook, Principal. The operation will continue as we remain focused on making Lakeside better each day!

On Friday, Dr. Cook sent information out to all families regarding the ongoing Safety and Security of the building.
