Message from the Principal

Welcome to the 25-26 school year! You will receive the Gator Gazette every Sunday so that you will stay up to date on everything happening at Lakeside Junior High. A couple of important items as we are approaching the start of school:

  1. Student Schedules - They will be posted in Synergy on August 5th at 11:00am.

  2. Orientation will be on August 8th. 7th grade 10:00-11:00. 8th grade 11:30-12:30.

  3. TDAP vaccinations - All 7th grade students will need to have their TDAP vaccination records on file with LJH in order to start school. Please email Lawanda.Woolbright@myoneclay.net if you have any questions.

For our 8th grade families - You ROCKED it last year. We are an A-rated school AND gained 12 points in our school grade. This is a result of hard work, dedication, and your unwavering support of your child. Thank you! We will ride this momentum to another amazing school year.

For our 7th grade families - There is a legacy of excellence at Lakeside Junior High School and we look forward to your continuation of this legacy. At the bottom of this newsletter there is a list of contacts that might be of assistance. If you need anything throughout this school year, please reach out!

Go Gators!
