Today was nacho day at lunch! This lunch can take a little longer to serve, but Deputy Hutton jumped in to make sure students had their lunch in a timely fashion. Thank goodness our cafeteria staff lent him a hair net - we didn't want any student to get his hair in their food! Deputy Hutton is always stepping in to help and we are so grateful to have him on our campus! #GatorsCHOMP 💙🐊🧡

This week, students in Ms. Morris' classes have been introduced to thinking classrooms. Students learned expectations for how to work together while also solving some fun problems. Ms. Morris said on the first day of school, students were hesitant to participate, standing back and wondering why they had to do it. By day 3, those same students were participating in the conversation at the whiteboards and taking lead in their groups. We can't wait to see how these students continue to grow the rest of the school year! #GatorsCHOMP 🧡🐊💙

Some more team building in Mrs. Slater's classes today! Students had to build a tower of cups with a rubber band and string. They were not able to talk or write things down to communicate on how to build the towers, but somehow they found a way! Way to go, Gators! #GatorsCHOMP 💙🐊🧡

As we prepare to embark on another amazing school year, there are many accomplishments to celebrate. LJH continues the long tradition of excellence by outperforming all other Clay County Junior High Schools with the highest level of Academic Achievement in 24/25!

Our collective success remains grounded in our school-wide expectations. The acronym "CHOMP" embodies the core of our school community culture. With classes beginning this week, we want all of our families to be familiar with each of the five elements of "CHOMP".

We are excited to students back on campus, and we deeply appreciate your support of the faculty and staff of Lakeside Junior High!

Schedules went live yesterday! You can view your student's schedule in Synergy. If you would like to request a schedule change, please fill out the Google Form using the link below. A couple of things to keep in mind when requesting a schedule change:

  • Requests will be processed in the order they are received.

  • Deadline for any schedule change requests will be Friday, 8/22 at 12pm.

  • Our priority for scheduling is ensuring each student has been scheduled into the appropriate core classes (Math, ELA, Science, Social Studies). While we will make a strong effort to place students in their preferred elective, we cannot guarantee elective course changes.
