Lakeside Elementary
Black Wolf Bulletin
Dear Lakeside Families-
Thank you for your continued help as we start the school year off so well! We have so much to be proud of so far this school year.
Engagement is one of our ISEE values, and it means being curious, participating, and being an active part of our school community. We want every student to feel that their voice matters and that they have an important role to play in their learning and in our school. Check out this week’s ISEE video to learn more about what Engagement looks like at Lakeside: The Lakeside Way|Engagement
Conferences are a great opportunity to connect! We look forward to welcoming families to Lakeside on Wednesday, October 8, from 3:15–6:30 PM. These conversations give families and teachers an opportunity to celebrate student growth, share important information, and work together to support each child. We value the partnership between home and school and hope to see you there!
Finally, we would love to see more families connected to our PTO and other Lakeside organizations. These groups provide great opportunities to support our students, connect with other families, and help make special experiences happen throughout the school year. There are many ways to get involved, and we encourage you to find an opportunity that works for you. Your engagement helps make Lakeside a stronger school community!
Make it a great day.
Mr. King, Principal
Every school day is a vital opportunity for your child to learn, grow, and build academic confidence. When your elementary student is in class, they engage in essential lessons and develop crucial social skills alongside their peers. Consistent attendance helps establish a predictable routine, allowing them to feel secure and successful in their learning environment. . Your support in ensuring they arrive on time every day is a powerful investment in their future, setting them up for long-term achievements. Please note that to ensure all students stay on track, a letter of concern will be sent out when a student misses 8 days of school. We appreciate your partnership in making daily school attendance a top priority.
All reports of a student absence must go through the school office. If your child(ren) are sick for multiple days, please notify us each day they are absent.
All communication regarding your student’s attendance—including appointments, late arrivals, or early departures—must be sent to the office. You may copy your child’s teacher on the message, and the office will also ensure that attendance information is shared with the classroom teacher.
To avoid an unexcused absence, all student absences must be reported to the main office at
920-424-0131. If you leave a voicemail, be sure to include your student’s full name, grade, reason for absence, and any symptoms they may be experiencing. You may also report absences by emailing the school secretary at: kylene.schrage@oshkosh.k12.wi.us.
Infinite Campus (IC) Portal:
You can submit preplanned absence requests online through Infinite Campus. In IC, go to More > Absence Request. Please be sure to fill out all fields completely so we can accurately mark your student’s attendance.
If you need to pick up your student early for any reason, please notify the main office ahead of time. We kindly ask that you allow a minimum of 1 hour notice if your student needs to leave the building early so we have enough time to locate and prepare your student.
As always, please feel free to reach out to the main office with any questions or concerns. Thank you for your help and cooperation!
If you are interested in volunteering by helping in your child's classroom or chaperoning a field trip, you must have a pre-approved volunteer application on file before the volunteering event. If you HAVE NOT filled out a volunteer application please click HERE to begin the application process. If you are unsure of your volunteer status, please email Kylene Schrage. All verified backgrounds checks are good for three years, and are effective for all OASD schools. If you have any questions about this process, please contact our school office at 920.424.0131 or kylene.schrage@oshkosh.k12.wi.us
Important!: Once you have completed your application, let the office know so that we can request that the application be processed; this does not happen automatically, and can take up to 3-4 business days, so please plan accordingly!
As of January 1st, 2026, our online menu platform through Nutrislice has been updated to oshkoshk12.nutrislice.com
