NEW ANNOUNCEMENTS

There will be NO after school activities on Friday, 22nd (FOL, YMCA, Big Thought) due to the early release. If your child rides the bus, please note the adjusted times below. 

December 22nd Early Release Bus Schedule
December 18th is the last date to submit excused notes or doctor’s notes for past absences.

It is very important you submit excuse notes and doctor’s notes for the entire first semester to the attendance office as soon as possible. This includes notes needed for times students have been released early or have arrived late. The front office will be accepting these notes until December 18th for any past absences from the start of school August 14th to present. However, after that deadline we will not be able to enter any other notes due to our 2nd semester attendance policy. Please submit your notes to the following e-mail address: LakewoodAttendance@dallasisd.org

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter,

Lakewood Front Office Staff

Please ask your students to check the lost and found during recess or down time. Parents are welcome to check in at office and look as well (located by cafeteria). We will be donating most items at the end of next week.  Email lostandfound@lakewoodelementary.net with questions or to submit a lost item report. Need child's full name, teacher, and home room code with a detailed description of what you are missing (size and brand). Thanks! 

Huge thank you to Mr. Chacon and Mr. Pineda for installing the new security cameras! 

Have you noticed the marquee is turned off and wondered what is going on? Our digital sign sustained electrical damage in early November, and our vendor had to order special parts to repair it. The team is working diligently with them to get this done. The marquee will be back on as soon as the parts arrive and can be installed.

In the meantime, THANK YOU to all of the weekly winners from the House Party Spring Auction for their grace and patience!

Long is still in need of food bags! Please sign up here. And if you don't have time to shop, you can also give to Long's Angel Tree! Please click here for more details. 

Registration for the Woodrow Cheer Sleep "Under" Parents Night Out is open here!
