Good evening,
Here’s what’s in store for the week. On Monday, August 8, staff will be off campus for most of the day participating in a staff development day. This would not be a great day to stop by the office as we will not be there.
We will be back on campus gearing for the start of the new year on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Tuesday evening, starting at 5:30 p.m., Mrs. Story and I will be hosting our kindergarten Open House. We are very excited to meet our new kindergarteners. See you at 5:30.
Thursday, August 11, marks our first day of school for 2022-23. Gates open at 7:45 a.m. Breakfast will be served from 7:45 - 8:30. We invite all our parents to join us for breakfast as well as classroom walk-throughs. Classrooms will open at 8:00. Teachers will be available for questions during this time until 8:45. At 8:45, we will invite all in attendance to the blacktop for our annual back to school assembly. The 8th grade class will be helping with the assembly and are excited as I am for Thursday. After the assembly, students will be invited to start their academic year.
Prior to Thursday, we encourage our parents to check out our website for our back to school videos. These videos are linked on our homepage with the button Back to School. All back to school videos will be posted no later than Wednesday.
If you haven’t already, be sure to check out the classroom Supply List, also located on our website. These are the supply lists each classroom teacher is recommending for students. Water bottles remain an essential item as it looks to be hot as we return to school. Please put your child’s name on personal items such as water bottles, backpacks, and later in the year, jackets and coats.
Lastly, please complete the parent portal prior to the start of school on Thursday. The link to the portal is also on our website. The portal is where we store all of the information that pertains to your child. Very important that this gets done.
If you haven’t bookmarked our website or downloaded the Lake School app, I strongly recommend you do as we utilize these tools to communicate throughout the year.
Although I can’t believe it’s already the start of the 2022-23 school year, I am as excited as ever to begin another year at Lake. See you on Thursday! Good night. Mrs. Baker

What a great last day of school! The slip and slide was a big hit. We’ve had lots of questions about where we got it so we’re including the snapshot of the Bounce It Up business. They were great to work with and very accommodating. We plan to bring them back for next year. 🐾💙🐾
