Lakeside Public SchoolAt Lakeside Public School we…

Believe that each student is very intelligent and has a unique set of skills

Believe each student can choose to be a hero every day

Want each student to have the courage to fearlessly be themselves

Want all students to run to school and walk home

In Kindergarten, we believe that…

Each child comes to school with their own unique skills and abilities

All children grow and develop at different rates

Every child’s success, both big and small, should be acknowledged and celebrated

Each child should feel safe, respected, and included in all classroom activities

Lakeside Safe Drop Off routine is critical to the success of the

Safe Drop Off process involves a community effort an essential component of our

safe learning environment the foundation of success is the

belief that safety must come before convenience
