Are YOU counting down?!

Lakeside Families,

We are just as excited as you are for the year to begin...and it's almost here! Here are a few notes for the first days of school.

• We will have a Party on the Playground on the first day from 7:30-7:50 am. Parents are welcome to join us. :)
• Kobussen sent out bus assignments late this week. The arrival time at school is early, 7:20 am. They will fix their routing so that students are dropped off at 7:30 am beginning the week of September 15. I will keep you updated through our blog and school newsletter. Please call if you have specific questions: 424.0131. 
• We are still looking for parents to help with lunch and recess duty. If you can help, please email me as soon as possible! (amy.ashton@oshkosh.k12.wi.us) You can volunteer your time, or be paid $7.50/hour. Here are the times we still need help:
• Monday-Friday- 11:15-12:00 pm (You can just work one or two days--up to you!)
• Thursday and Friday- 7:30-7:50 am

I wish you a wonderful long weekend ahead and last "hurrah" of summer!

Mrs. Ashton 

Open House is tomorrow!

Dear Lakeside Families,

We are excited to see you tomorrow evening at Open House! Open House will be from 4:30-6:00 pm. Please enter through Door #1 in the front of the building. Please bring with you:

• A recent family picture for our "School Family" bulletin board
• $3 for headphone fees for new students and incoming kindergarteners only

You will receive a welcome letter from your new teacher right away in the front lobby, so you know which classroom to go to! 

Don't forget to join me for Popsicles with the Principal from 6:00-6:30, right after Open House!

See you soon!

-Mrs. Ashton

Updates in August

Hello Lakeside Families,

I hope your summer has been awesome so far. Has your family been on a picnic, gone camping or on a vacation, or visited a water park or pool this summer? Students, have you been reading and writing? I hope you've had enjoyable lazy days and fun-filled busy days. Get out and enjoy the last few weeks of summer--it sure does go by fast!

Here are a few updates to share:

Our entire district is shifting to a new student information system, so mailings and processes are slightly different this year.
A mailing will be sent to you this week about creating an ID on our new student information system, Infinite Campus. Registration packets will be mailed home late next week.

This year, I will host Popsicles with the Principal right after Open House on Wednesday, August 27 at 6:00-6:30 pm. Join me on the playground for a popsicle, tell me about your summer, and visit with new and old friends. I look forward to seeing you there!

More updates to come in a couple weeks. Take care!
-Mrs. Ashton
