My child is in the TK Spanish immersion. Before selecting this school, I did so much research and school visits to pick the best option. So far so good! First, the school administration has been very organized before and after the school year started with notifications, announcements, and daily operating procedures. I am observant, and even with construction happening, the staff works together to ensure safety and our student are at the highest priority. The communications come directly from the principal to parents on a regular basis. Mr. Tiger is so aproachable and kind. I see him with steady pace all over campus in the mornings outside helping where he can. He is very involved. There is a sense of community among families. The PTA group provide intentional updates and awareness topics to help support the kids and parents on social media. The vibe is very positive and I see many smiles from parents, staff, and kids. My child's teacher has been a joy. She is very kind and "over communicates" which I love. In the first week of school, my child walked to class on his own and he is enjoying it. I requested a parent/teacher meeting and even witg the busy schedule, she suggested a call. She is very approachable, listens, and supports. Its been a great experience. About playground area, I am hopeful there will be more shade added soon for the students. Thats probably one opportunity that stands out to me the most. Currently, the playgrounds are out in the open. There is a little shade for tables next to the TK/K playground, but i feel like it needs much more. Lakeside can get very hot depending on the weather. It would help so much to allow for more outdoor play and also keep our kids comfortable when it is sunny. TK and K students play together, so they get to make new friends outside of their class. About the Spanish immersion program, my child understands Spanish but doesn't speak it. The program for TK and K is 100% Spanish. So the teacher never speaks English. My child helps the teacher by translating to those who do not understand Spanish. Great way for my child to practice translation and continue learning. They teach social/enotional learning every day. The class size is about 24 students. However, I appreciate that it is the teacher and also a full time aid supporting the students. So far we've had a wonderful experience and so happy to be part of the Lakeview family.
