Hey Laker Families!
One of our teachers just downloaded and started using the BoxTops app on her phone in July, and she’s earned HALF of our school’s total amount with little effort!
Imagine what we could do if each family clicked on the referral link to start their own BoxTops app, with Lakeside Elementary earning credit for your shopping?
No more clipping BoxTops; simply scan your receipts and/or connect your WalMart account to the app.

Makeup Picture Day is November 20th. Students who were absent on or enrolled after October 21st will be photographed. Information on how to order pictures will be sent home after.

Ms. Lee's students spent time today working collaboratively with partners to read grade-level passages and respond to text-based questions that use evidence from the text.

Congratulations to this young man for earning a Positive Office Referral!

In Ms. Reyes’ Pre-K class, every day is full of smiles! 🌈

Today, on Veterans Day, Clay County District Schools pauses to honor the brave men and women who have served in all branches of the United States Armed Forces.

We extend our deepest gratitude for your service, sacrifice, and commitment to protecting our freedoms. We are especially proud of the veterans within our own community - our teachers, staff, parents, and neighbors.

Thank you for your service.

Attention Chorus Families! Your student has received an updated chorus calendar. Please note that our rehearsals have been extending to 4:30pm!

In science, Mrs. Bunn's class started learning about Natural Resources. Our learning was centered around nonrenewable resources. The class learned all about the mineral popcornite, and how we need to use it wisely, so future generations will have some to enjoy.
