Good Morning,

We know these are difficult times. The entire Lakeside staff cares deeply about the safety and well-being of your family. We thank you for your ongoing support to continue the home/school partnership. Please know we are available via email. If you need to speak to a teacher or us, please email us a phone number that is best to reach you at and we will contact you.

Due to the unprecedented circumstances surrounding public health and the coronavirus, school will remain closed until Wednesday, April 15. This date falls in the middle of our Spring Recess. Our learning plan will continue with ongoing instruction through Wednesday, April 8. Spring Recess will begin on April 9 as scheduled. Our return to school date will be Monday, April 20th. Of course, the return date may be altered by a future order from the Governor.

Attached are the school assignments for the week of March 30. We have provided these assignments with the understanding that all families are experiencing different situations in their homes, not with the intention to overwhelm you. If you are having difficulty completing the assignments, please contact your child’s teacher and they will make the necessary accommodations. Special area activities are suggestions, and are intended to provide a fun break from schoolwork. Many are great for the whole family to enjoy together.

Lastly, we have also attached, How to Access Math Lessons in Think Central. The Merrick website has further technology resources and supports if needed.

Stay well,
Libby Trencheny and Justin Gabrus
