It's summer...are you still reading at home?


Lakeside families,

I hope you are enjoying every bit of summer! On these warm summer days, remember to cool down and relax with a great book! In this video clip, our reading specialist, Ms. Kobinsky works with Trevor, now a graduated kindergartener, to check the pictures before reading. You can try this at home with your child!

Have a great upcoming Fourth of July! 
Sincerely,
Mrs. Ashton :)

Last Day of School!

Today was our final day of school, and it was a great one! Lakeside and Green Meadow students were on campus at Lakeside today! It was awesome to see everyone together! We had a Graduation and Awards Ceremony this morning to congratulate all of our students that are moving on. This afternoon, Lakeside's PTO put on the BEST Field Day ever! Check out some pictures.





Students, have a GREAT summer! We look forward to seeing you next year! :)

2012-2013 Enrollment Update


An update on next year...

You may have heard that our incoming kindergarten class numbers were higher than anticipated. The OASD student to teacher ratio for kindergarten-second grade is 24 students to one classroom teacher. We had over 55 new kindergarteners register to attend Lakeside for the 2012-2013 school year, which puts our school over capacity.
In collaboration with our Central Office, the decision was made to move new kindergarteners (new families to Lakeside) north of Ripple Road and east of the airport to Smith Elementary school to fill existing space in their kindergarten class numbers. This means that we will continue to have two sections of grades K-3, like this year.
Families of the students moving to Smith have already been notified of the change. 
If you have any questions, please call the school office. 
Thank you!
-Mrs. Ashton

Lakeside Families,

We need volunteers to help with recess and lunch duty next year. Please consider volunteering your time- even one day a week would be great! Recess and lunch begins at 11:30 am and goes until 12:15 pm. Thanks for your consideration!


One more note...the last school newsletter of the year is coming home with students today. Continue checking our school blog over the summer for updates!
