1 Lakeside Elementary Mr. Craig Weigel Principal 2325 Hall Street SE Grand Rapids, MI August 18, 2015 Dear Lakeside Families, Welcome to the school year! I hope your summer has been filled with family, friends, and fun activities. Our elementary building has been undergoing a transformation and I am excited for students, staff, and families to see and experience these incredible building and technology enhancements. As the first day of school on Tuesday, September 8 quickly approaches, I am writing to share our Back-to-School communication methods and the related timeline. This year the three elementary buildings will provide back to school information to families through electronic communication as the primary means to share the following: Wednesday, August Communication: Pertinent Building Information and Forms PTO Membership Information, Dates, and Volunteer Committees East Grand Rapids Schools Foundation Information Thursday, August Communication: Student Placement and Teacher Welcome Letters If you have received this letter electronically then EGRPS has a valid address on file. However, it is also important to review and update all family information located in your child s Skyward account (i.e. birthdate, home address, phone number, emergency contacts, etc.). Please click here for directions on how to login/access your child s information and to update your child s Skyward account. If you experience any difficulties in updating Skyward contact information or accessing Back-to-School information, please contact Mrs. Buzalski at for assistance.
