Dear Families,

Welcome to all our new and returning families. We hope you all had a safe, healthy and enjoyable summer. Over the summer, our school team has been working hard to prepare to welcome your children back to school. Making our school opening effective is only possible through the collaboration of each of our individual staff members.

We value the relationship and partnership we have with families and look forward to speaking and working with you in the months ahead. Please do not hesitate to contact the school if you have any questions. We welcome the opportunity to connect with you.

There are many ways to stay connected with what’s happening in our school. We send important communication to families weekly through the Lakeside Lightning Digest document which is emailed to families. Additionally, staff communicate classroom information through a variety of means which may include a classroom newsletter, information shared electronically through EDSBY or through email. Our school and classroom staff are available to meet by scheduling an appointment. Please don’t hesitate to contact our school office if you need any information or support throughout the school year.

You can also find updated information about the Board at www.yrdsb.ca, X (formerly Twitter) @YRDSB, Instagram @yrdsb.schools, or the Board podcast TuneIn YRDSB wherever you listen to podcasts.

We wish you all a happy, safe and successful school year.

Thank you for taking the time to visit the Lakeside Public School website, and welcome to our community.
