Today, Lake Park Elementary wants to take a moment to say THANK YOU to our incredible PTO!
Your support of our school, our teachers, our staff, and—most importantly—our students is truly appreciated. You give your time, your energy, your ideas, and your hearts to help make Lake Park a special place to learn, grow, and belong.
From supporting our Lakers of the Month, Cherrydale fundraiser, Spring Fling and Color Run, Black History Month Celebration, Christmas Social, Grandparents Day, Teacher Appreciation, and so many other events and special moments throughout the year, your impact can be seen all across our school. And that is just a small part of all you do!
You show up.
You pitch in.
You encourage.
You celebrate.
You support.
And you continually remind our Lake Park family that we are stronger when we work together.
We are incredibly grateful for every volunteer hour, every idea, every donation, every event, and every behind-the-scenes effort that helps make a difference for our students and staff.
Lake Park PTO, thank you for loving our school and supporting our Lakers so unwaveringly. We are so thankful to have you as part of our Lake Park family! ❤️🤍💙

At Lake Park, we are committed to maintaining a safe, respectful, and positive learning environment for our students, staff, families, and guests. To support this commitment, we are implementing a Visitor Code of Conduct and Dress Code for all guests who visit our campus.
We value our families and love having you participate in school activities! When visiting Lake Park, we simply ask that clothing, language, and interactions with others reflect the same standards of respect and appropriateness that we model for our students and expect from out students.
Our new Visitor Code of Conduct outlines expectations regarding appropriate dress, respectful language and interactions, and care for school property. If a visitor is not able to meet these expectations, we may respectfully ask that the visit be rescheduled for another time. Please see the attachment for specific details.
Thank you for partnering with us to set a wonderful example for our students. The example we set today helps shape the young people they will become tomorrow.⚓⛵

This Friday is our first opportunity of the year to show our Lake Park teachers and staff a little extra love! 💙⚓
Our Friday Snacks tradition is a fun way for PTO and our families to treat our amazing staff to a special lunch or treat. This year, we will host Friday Snacks once each quarter, which gives us the opportunity to make each one extra special!
For our first Friday Snacks, we are planning a Walking Nacho Bar! 🌮 After all, we think everyone can agree that Lake Park is “nacho average school,” and we are blessed with “nacho average teachers and staff!” 😊
Please use the SignUpGenius link below to donate an item for the nacho bar. Every contribution, big or small, will help us provide a wonderful lunch for our staff.
We would also love a few parent volunteers to help serve our teachers and staff on Friday! If you are available and would like to help, please let us know.

1. Today, we experienced a medical emergency at school. During the response, our Crisis Alert System mistakenly announced a "lockdown" throughout the building. Please know that this was not a security threat or an actual lockdown. Throughout the school year, we will conduct required safety drills to help prepare our students and staff for emergencies. Our first scheduled fire drill will take place tomorrow.
2. Classroom Orientation: We hope to see you at Classroom Orientation this evening! Session 1 will be held from 5:00–5:30 p.m., followed by our PTO meeting from 5:30–6:00 p.m. Session 2 will take place from 6:00–6:30 p.m. Your child's teacher will share important information about classroom routines, procedures, expectations, and the exciting year ahead.
3. Friday Dress: Students may wear a Lake Park T-shirt with jeans tomorrow. This will be our standard Friday attire throughout the school year, except on Friday, August 28, which is Yearbook Picture Day. Students should wear their school uniforms on Yearbook Picture Day.
Thank you for your partnership and support. We look forward to a wonderful school year!
1. Classroom Orientation is this Thursday, August 6th. Your teacher will share very important information about curriculum, procedures, and processes. See the attachment for information.
2. Student drop-off begins at 7:15. Parents should wait at the "Stop Here" sign until waved into the drive by a staff member.
3. No street or alley parking during dismissal or drop-off.
We can't wait to see you tomorrow at Open House! Drop in at your convenience between 3:30 and 6:30.
