Lakeside Families,
I hope you all are enjoying the last few weeks of summer! We have been working all summer, gearing up
for an incredible new school year. I hope you are relaxed, recharged and ready to start a new school year.
I am so delighted that you are part of our amazing learning community. I welcome and value your positive
energy and dedication to excellence in education, and I look forward to working with you and your
children.
Chromebooks
Chromebooks have made learning more mobile and accessible in the classroom. In recent years,
Chromebooks have gone from a tech novelty to an indispensable classroom tool. As we have done over
the last few years, we will be checking out Chromebooks to students again this year, along with optional
Chromebook insurance. There will be more information shared about the check out process at the start of
the school year.
Open House
The first days of school are quickly approaching. We will have an Open House at the Middle School this
year on August 26th from 5:45 to 8:00. This will be an opportunity for families and students to meet the
MS staff, pick up student schedules and practice opening lockers. We will have staggered start times for
each grade level, the schedule is as follows.
6th - 5:45 Meet in the Gym
7th - 6:30 Meet in the Auditorium
8th - 7:00 Meet in the Gym
Schedules will only be handed out to students who have completed the 2024-2025 Annual Verification
forms online. Directions for completing these forms can be found below. Chromebooks will be available
for parent access to Skyward at the open house.
