It's August...is your family thinking about school?!

Hello Lakeside Families and Friends!

Can you believe how fast summer is going? It's August! I don't know about you, but I'm gearing up for school! We are preparing the building for students, making copies of Registration and Open House materials, and planning for a great year ahead!

Here are a few notes to consider this month:
-Is your child reading and writing at home often? Don't let the "summer slide" happen to your child! Reading scores do tend to recede if your child does not continue to practice reading throughout the summer. Go to the library, a local book store, or read online with your child this summer!
-Are you continuing to practice forward and backward counting, and skip counting (count by 2's or 3's, etc.)? These skills are important to practice at all grade levels. It will help prepare your child for basic math facts!
-Have you gotten school supplies yet? Remember to find Lakeside's school supply list at your favorite "back to school" store around town!
-Parents: Are you available to volunteer during recess or lunch times this year? We are looking for a few parent volunteers to help us. The times we need help are Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8:30-8:50 am, and Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 11:30am-12:15pm. Please email me (amy.ashton@oshkosh.k12.wi.us) if you can help!


I look forward to seeing lots of smiling faces at Registration in just two weeks!


Sincerely,
Mrs. Ashton

  1. Mrs. Ashton,
    Hello! This is Holley Egnoski, Emma Egnoski's mom. We are not going to be able to attend registration due to the fact that we will not be back from vacation in Alabama until the 19th. What Dobu need to do to get Emma registered?

    Thanks!
    Holley Egnoski
