Join us April 21 at 6pm in the Library!

For more information on joining the committee next year, please email lisa.schulgen@ltic.com

Parents, instead of emailing Ana Escobedo regarding absences or attendance questions, please email Ms. Alba, our new registrar!!  Her email is sserna@dallasisd.org. 

And reminder- our hardworking staff prefers written notes for excused absences, so please remember to turn those into the front office! 

Ms. Benton has determined that it would be more efficient for parents to take pictures of their children in costume and email her for approval / feedback at MFINLEYBENTON@dallasisd.org - this way she can provide detailed feedback that will not get lost in translation when she sends them back home with students.  

Thank you for your patience as we stand up this new theater program and work through the large-scale logistics involved!   We are learning what works here through trial and error, but it's already shaping up to be an amazing performance!  

We would love to have parent volunteers assist with LOLA! We will be investigating native plants and animals! 

All volunteers must send their Covid-vaccination status to Ana Escobedo aescobedo@dallasisd.org.

In order to volunteer at LOLA (or any other DISD program) you must complete a volunteer application/orientation every year at https://dallasisd.voly.org/

Check in at the front office and meet Lisa Dolliver (Dallas Arboretum) in the LOLA 5-10 minutes before your child's LOLA session starts for instruction. Volunteers may help with set up/clean up, take action photos, assist students with hands-on activities, etc. 

Also, please leave your contact information when you sign up. (In case of inclement weather etc, Lisa may text you with a change in location, etc).

We sincerely appreciate your support of the LOLA! Please email lola@lakewoodelementary.net with any questions.

Though masks are now recommended, the policies for contact tracing and quarantining remain in place.

For anyone testing positive, the district will follow the five-day isolation period recommended by the CDC. If students display symptoms, we ask their families to keep them at home. 

A student is deemed a close contact if they are NOT wearing a mask and is within 3 ft of a confirmed positive student/child who is also not wearing a mask, or within 6 ft. of a mask less adult who is confirmed positive.

In case of close contact (without masks) with someone who has tested positive: 

• If the student is unvaccinated, quarantine them at home for five days and contact their health care provider. 
• If the student is fully vaccinated and not displaying any symptoms, they can return to school and must remain masked at all times. 

Below is the link and QR code for parents to submit their child’s proof of vaccination, deadline to submit March 31^st:

• Click HERE access the form 
• Sign in using the student ID number and date of birth
• Fill out the required information, including your email (e-card will be sent to that email)
• Upload an image of the proof of vaccination (card, IMMTrac2, document from medical provider)
• Submit the form
