LAKESIDE HIGH SCHOOL
VISION STATEMENT
As a community of learners, Lakeside High School staff and students strive to create an environment in which each person’s unique potential is challenged to fulfillment.
Three key goals guide our vision:
· Students cultivate strong academic skills, pursue learning for enrichment sake, build appropriate social skills, and ultimately develop as productive and contributing members of society.
· As partners in the learning process, staff advocates for kids by facilitating a safe, rigorous, student-centered learning environment, and by participating in ongoing curriculum evaluation, development, and modification to best meet the needs of students.
· Lakeside High School welcomes and encourages community involvement that mentors a successful transition from high school.
Common Core Beliefs
We believe that educating students to become responsible, contributing members of society is our core mission.
We believe that students need strong academic preparation, application to real-world contexts, and positive relationships with adults to effectively engage in their learning. (Rigor, Relevance, and Relationships)
We believe research shows that inquiry-based methods will engage students in effective learning better than methods based solely on traditional lecture-test strategies. This allows a wide variety of effective strategies to be used for students to efficiently learn content aligned with the state standards.
We believe students should leave Lakeside High School ready for post-secondary education and training.
We believe that every student should have an adult advocate who helps set, monitor, and meet academic and career goals.
We believe that learning is maximized when students, parents, and teachers are actively involved in monitoring student progress. This requires a commitment from students, families, and teachers.
We believe that staff should engage in effective professional learning to best improve student learning. This professional development should be fob-embedded, authentic, research-based, and continuous.
We believe that students learn best with quality facilities, equipment, and supplies.
We believe that participation in extra-curricular and co-curricular activities can provide significant learning directly tied to our mission.
We believe high school should be a place for students to gain core skills and explore potential interests and careers.
CONCERNS & COMPLAINTS
We are interested in making Lakeside High School the best it can be. We need to know if you have concerns or complaints so that we can get better. The School Board has established policy 4312 which creates a formal process whereby your concerns will be addressed.

If you wish to receive a copy of the policy and procedure, please see board policies on the district web site at www.9mile.org
