No Classes Thursday, Friday, Monday
There are no classes for students on Thursday and Friday for Teacher’s Convention and Monday for Family Day.
Staffing Update
As messaged on Thursday, our Administrative Assistant, Allison Fife, has accepted an accelerated admin role at the Area 5 office. Allison’s insight, expertise, and skill have been invaluable in helping Lakeshore move from uncertain opening days to our established school community. Her contributions cannot be understated, and she will be missed. Allison’s last day at Lakeshore will be on February 20th.
