Lakeside School

Dear Lakeside Community,

Now that autumn is in full swing, I wanted to take a moment and remind everyone that while this time of year is full of fun gatherings and celebrations, it is also the time illness increases throughout the community! I encourage you to talk with your students about health promotion and what they can do to help keep themselves and others healthy. Some suggestions are: 

• Washing their water bottle once a week and not sharing drinks with others
• Using hand sanitizer or washing their hands before and after touching their eyes, nose, or mouth
• Sanitizing their phone, laptop, and other devices periodically
• Staying home when ill, resting, and drinking extra fluids
• Properly covering a cough or sneeze
• Coming to the Health Room if they feel sick during the school day

You can find information on our illness policy on the Lakeside Health and Safety page, and please feel welcome to contact info@lakesideschool.site with any questions or concerns. Thank you for your care and consideration for yourselves and our community!
