A new type of Parent-Teacher Conference comes to La Paloma Lakeside on Wednesday, October 19. Parents will meet for a conference in their child’s classroom, where they will be given personalized student data, helpful resources, and upcoming learning standards. There will also be parent workshops in the computer lab. View the flyer below for times and details.

We are excited to share the progress being made on several improvements throughout the Lakeside campus. The finishing touches are in progress for our new and improved parking lot, a new Multipurpose Recreation Center will be up and running in the near future, and the gym is receiving some much needed care after a plumbing leak. We appreciate the patience and support of all our Lakeside families during this period of transition. Please view the flyer below for more details.
We are excited to offer MySchoolBucks! This online payment service and mobile app provides a quick and easy way to add money to your student’s meal account using a credit/debit card or electronic check. You can also view recent purchases, check balances, and set up low balance alerts for free.

“Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.” – Carl Sagan, astronomer and writer
Science can be both a favorite and feared class. The hands-on nature of experimentation and wonder created through discovery of the world can mesmerize and fascinate students. By the same token, the specialized vocabulary and associated concepts can trip students up and alienate the curiosity the course and subjects covered can inspire.
With fall, the first report cards and parent-teacher conferences of the academic year arrive. Thus, we’re reviving a topic from last autumn.
Is your child struggling with their homework? Do some of the concepts he is learning in class just not seem to gel? Has her teacher told you she needs tutoring?
Did your child attend our Title I Summer School/Kinder Camp this summer? Help us improve the program for next year by taking a brief survey.
Reading comprehension is a skill that follows children throughout their entire lives. Decoding and understanding text happens everywhere, even in our digital world. Help your child improve his/her comprehension and reading fluency.
Words are the building blocks of communication. Comprehension vastly improves when a reader knows the meaning of the words on the page; and the main goal of reading is comprehension. For all students, English natives and ESL, a strong vocabulary benefits learning activities: reading, speaking, and listening. It boils down to the fact that the more words a child knows, the better their comprehension can become.
Transitioning into middle school is a big change for students and parents. It requires more adept time management skills, independent responsibility, and a tougher course load. However, with the right tips, students can develop lifelong skills to help them succeed in all future academic endeavors. We have developed a list of beneficial habits to help your child transition and flourish in the upper grade levels.
