Campus Clean Up Day

We love being able to provide our students, teachers, and staff with such an inviting campus! We need your help in keeping it that way.  Saturday, July 15th, is our annual Campus Clean Up Day! The day begins at 7 a.m. and runs until we are done!  This is a great way for students to get started on their community service hours.  Parents, these are volunteer hours for you as well.  Please bring your lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, weed eaters, blowers, rakes and wheelbarrows.  Please consider joining us for a few hours!  Come on and pitch in for a purpose!

Cheerleader Showcase

Come out Sunday afternoon, July 9, 2017, at 4:00 p.m. to watch our cheerleaders showcase their cheer and dance routines as they prepare to leave for camp next week!!  Following the showcase, there will be a chance to meet with Mrs. Johnston about the middle school trip to Washington, DC and the upper school trip to California and the Grand Canyon!!  Come out and support the cheerleaders.  Go Chiefs!!

Community Service Requirement

As a requirement for graduation all students (9-12) will complete a minimum of 20 hours of community service during each year in the Upper School and a total of at least 80 hours of community service prior to graduation.

Community service project must be submitted and approved at least 5 days in advance by the Dean of Students or Headmaster.  Students must use a separate form for each event.

•           Community service may be completed during the summer beginning with the summer prior to freshman year. Hours earned in the summer will be counted towards the upcoming school year.

•           Students who complete the service requirement prior to graduation are still required to do an additional 20 hours of service each year. For example, if a student has completed 80 service hours at the end of his/her junior year, they must still perform 20 hours of service during their senior year.

•           Students transferring to Lakeside after the freshman year will be required to complete 20 hours for each year they attend Lakeside.

•           To receive credit for service performed, the student must complete and turn in their service verification forms to the Dean of Students or Headmaster.

•           A list of suggested organizations to contact for community service will be available for students; however, alternative organizations may be used.

•           Students are encouraged to contact the school about doing their community service hours at Lakeside over the summer. Numerous projects need to be completed and help is always welcome.

•           Seniors must turn in required hours by May 1^st.

•           Forms must be submitted within two weeks of completing community service.

•           Community service hours will be checked every nine weeks and detention will be given to students who have not obtained a minimum of 5 hours per nine weeks.

Uniform Travel Shirt - K-12

The Uniform Committee, appointed by the Board of Trustees, has decided not to require additional grades to be in uniforms for the next school year (2017-2018).  They did, however, decide to require that all students, K-12^th purchase a travel shirt to be worn on special occasions and on school field trips.

This shirt is to be purchased through Land’s End.  The shirt is a long sleeve, button down Oxford shirt in French blue with the school crest on it.  The week of July 3^rd – July 10^th there will be no charge for the logo to be put on the shirt.  If you have any questions, please call the office.

A student who misses a nine weeks test or semester exam for an acceptable reason such as personal illness, death in the family, or an emergency, must complete a make-up test in accordance with the school’s attendance policy. Students who are late for a nine weeks test or semester exam have only the remaining time to complete the exam unless there are extenuating circumstances. Students who maintain an “A” in a year-long class are eligible to exempt the semester exam for second semester. This is determined by a student having an “A” average (89.5 or higher) for the first semester and an “A” average (89.5 or higher) going into the exam for the second semester. Semester classes are not included in the exemption policy. Averages of 89.5 or higher will be rounded up in order for the student to be exempted. The student must have an “A” average both semesters to be exempted.  Students always have the option of taking the final exam.  **Exempted students will be expected to participate in any classroom discussion and reviews in preparation for the semester exam.
