Lakeside Elementary
Black Wolf Bulletin
Dear Lakeside Families,
What a great start to the school year at Lakeside! Our students and staff have jumped right into learning, building relationships, and creating the kind of school community that makes Lakeside special. Thank you to our families for helping us start the year with such positive energy and excitement!
We are continuing our conversation about our ISEE values: Integrity, Safety, Engagement, and Excellence. We are focusing on Safety and what it means to help everyone feel physically and emotionally safe at school. Safety is a shared responsibility, and every student and adult plays an important role in creating a school where everyone can learn, belong, and feel supported. Check out this safety video with your family here: SAFETY VIDEO.
We are grateful for the many family and community members who give their time to support our students. Whether you are reading with a student, helping with an activity, supporting a school event, or lending a hand in another way, your involvement makes a difference. If you are interested in volunteering at Lakeside, please reach out to the school office to learn more about opportunities to get involved.
As conferences approach, we are looking forward to the opportunity to strengthen the connection between families and teachers. These conversations are an important part of understanding each child, celebrating their growth, and working together to support their continued learning. We value our families as partners, and we look forward to working together to help every Lakeside student have a successful year.
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
