Join Me on Friday!

Hello Lakeside Parents,

Please join me on Friday, September 28 from 3:00-3:30 pm in the media center at Lakeside for our first "Snack and Chat" of the year! We will gather together to enjoy some treats and discuss any topics of interest that parents would like to chat about.

Potential Topics:

  • viewing your child's grades online
  • volunteering
  • anything else on your mind
This is a great opportunity to strengthen the home-school relationship and connect with other parents. We will have "snack and chats" once a month. 

I hope to see you Friday!
Mrs. Ashton

Coming Up This Week...

Hi Lakeside Families,

Here are a few notes for this upcoming week:

Wednesday, Sept. 19 is our first early release day. Students are released at 2:45pm.
Wednesday is also Picture Retake Day for those students that missed Registration.

Lakeside is looking for parents to join our site council. Site council meets monthly to discuss how to increase parent involvement and community involvement in our school, as well as promoting school-wide events and increasing school spirit. Last year, site council planned two "Cozy Up and Read" Days, where adults joined students in reading together. Site council also placed a Spirit Wear order, which we are hoping to do again this year. If you are interested in joining our site council, please send me an email: amy.ashton@oshkosh.k12.wi.us and fill out the survey on our school website: http://lakeside.oshkosh.k12.wi.us/parents


Have a wonderful start to the week!
Mrs. Ashton

Learning is Leading!

At Lakeside, learning happens in many ways. Here are a few pictures to show learning from a teacher, learning from a friend, and learning by doing! Enjoy!

Monday, September 10

Lakeside Families,

On Monday, September 10, we will have our first whole-school morning meeting! The purpose of this morning meeting is to build a stronger school community. We will say the Pledge of Allegiance, sing songs, share announcements, and celebrate together during morning meetings. We are planning to have 2 Monday Morning Meetings per month.

Our kindergarten students are celebrating the color yellow on Monday (tomorrow!). Wouldn't it be cool to see all students and staff in yellow on Monday? Please consider helping your child find a bit of yellow in their closet!

Second day: bus update

Hi Families,

All busses were out of the parking lot today by 4:07 pm! I will not send any more blog updates about the busses unless they leave later than normal. The normal time for busses to leave is between 3:50 and 4:05, since Green Meadow students need to be transported here before Lakeside students leave. There will be more information about this in the Paw Print newsletter this Friday.

PS- The students are having a great time learning and meeting new friends! Look for pictures posted on our blog soon! :)

Dear Lakeside Families,

The busses all left our building by 4:16pm. Children are on their way home now.
Have a wonderful night and see you (or your child!) tomorrow!

Mrs. Ashton
