Cindy Wise, Principal
Greetings from Lake Street Elementary—home of the 4-Star Dazzling Dolphins The hearts of the Lake Street Office Staff and your principal have been
touched by the overwhelming support and generosity of our Lake Street
Community. Thank you to our compassionate parents, teachers, staff
members, community groups, and individuals who have “adopted” an an-
gel from our tree or dropped off donations to our Heart-to-Hand food bank
or gave coats, hats, and gloves to Nurse Betty so those who need something
extra at recess or at home now have what they need. Gifts for the angels
are due on Monday December 16th, and you should bring them un-
wrapped. Our NEHS and Student Council members will be wrapping gifts.
We are a grateful community, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
If your child has a transportation change on any school day, please call
us before 3p.m. I announce all changes at 3:00 before the rush at the end
of the day. If you pick your child up from school or drop off in the morning,
please stay in your car and we will help load or unload your child so you do
not need to get out of your car. If you do feel you need to get out and assist
your child, please park in our lot to do those necessary things and walk
your child over to the crosswalk where Mrs. Collier can safely cross them.
Please help us with this important transportation info for students.
Nurse Betty is seeing many sick students. If your child has the flu and/
or a fever please keep him/her home to recuperate. There is no replace-
ment for classroom instruction that is missed during an absence; however if
your child is sick they can’t really attend to learning so please use your
judgment and take care of our darlins’ so when they are with us, they are
learning all that our teachers offer during the day. Thank you!
Enjoy a wintry December weekend and stay warm!
Mrs. Cindy Wise, grateful principal
NO RESTAURANT, FAST FOOD
OR SOFT DRINKS ALLOWED TO
BE BROUGHT IN. Thank you!
In January we will be limiting
guests in the cafeteria to the
first Friday of every month,
birthday lunch Friday. We are
very safety conscience and need
to make a few tweaks to our
day here in the dolphin pool.
Thank you for your understand-
ing with this matter.
DISMISSAL PROCEDURES:
SAFETY is a #1 priority here in the dolphin pool! Please follow the traffic directions out
front before and after school. Our teachers out front work very hard to keep the traffic
following quickly and safely. Please follow their directions. When exiting our parking lot
during arrival and dismissal times you must always turn right. Thank you for keeping
our dolphin community safe.

News from the cafeteria
Please remember to keep your child's lunch account up to date. Remember that lunch
costs $2.00 a day. If your student should fall behind please let me know so that we can
work together. After a regular showing of a negative balance your child will receive a
cheese sandwich along with milk, fruit and vegetable for lunch.
