Pandemic Closures



*Announcement: please make sure you have already turned in your course selection to your counselors ASAP. Click here for a form. If you don't turn in your choices, your counselor will be selecting your courses for you for next school year!



Hello everybody! I hope that everyone is doing well and doing everything in your power to help stop/slow the spread of Covid-19. We are currently under orders to remain closed until June 19th.  I will try to do my best to put any updates on here, but you can also make sure to check the district website and sign up for the Parent Square app which will give out more information too. During this extended time off, I thought I would open up notebook re-checks for you: you can go back and complete ANY assignments I have given out previously (nothing new!!) but complete and submit for full credit back. Now, this is not something traditionally done for physics so make sure to take the opportunity!  I will add the points to your grade, but make sure to complete and email me pictures. I can't promise too much time grading, the further I get to my due date of April 30th, but I will make sure I get your make-up work entered for your final semester grade. I have already entered the scores of those individuals/teams that presented their end of the year research projects and put "M" missing scores for those who didn't present yet. You will need to complete the requirements (make sure to check in with your teammate-let me know if you need help there) and then upload them to Canvas or email me. The requirements are: individual 4 page essay, 12 slide PowerPoint, visual aid, and something you would have used for the class engagement activity. You have until June 1st to submit any work. If you need me at any time, please reach out via Remind or email mackenzie.anderson@leusd.k12.ca.us

A Special Note for Grades 9-11 *** Please read the message below in its entirety

Dear Lancer Families,

I hope that this message finds you and your family in good health and safety during this holiday weekend. The purpose of this message is to keep you up-to-date and informed as more information is shared with us.

Last week, our Governor announced that schools would remain closed until June 19, which means our Lancers are not returning to our site to finish the school year. We want to assure you that learning, and College and Career Readiness will continue for Lakeside High School students through "distance learning" for the remainder of the school year. Additional information about statewide school closures can be found at cde.ca.gov.  

We have also received information from the California Department of Education regarding graduation requirements, grading, and completing the 2019-2020 school year. The CSU and UC systems are adjusting their requirements for admission. Additional information can be found on the grades and graduation guidance documents at the CDE website. As our State, County and District continue to communicate to us regarding graduation requirements, we will continue to communicate to you.

We want to assure you that we love and care about your students, and we are working diligently with this new information to plan and prepare for all students toward college & career readiness.

To recap to this week, we began our technology distribution to families who completed the technology survey AND set up an appointment on Parent Square. Seniors and Juniors were given first priority to pick up their iPads. We will continue with iPad distribution next week (Weds.- Fri.) for Sophomores and Freshman. If you have yet to complete the technology distribution survey, please be advised that the survey is now closed. We will keep you updated as to when/if we are are able to open it back up for a second round of iPad distribution.

As we plan and prepare for the coming weeks, please partner with us to support your student's education in the following areas:
1) Check Infinite Campus to view your student's grades. Grades are now updated as ofTODAY, Friday, April, 10. These grades are reflective of all work assigned up to March 13, 2020.

2) Have your student email his/her teacher (*AND include their Counselor) for guidance on what enrichment assignments/make-up assignments to complete for grade improvement. During this time of distance learning, student grades can only improve from this point forward.

3) Please visit https://lhs.leusd.k12.ca.us/apps/staff/  for teacher contact information and/or download the staff and counselor directories attached here. Also note that All LHS teachers are contracted to support students through distance learning (on-line instruction). Individual teacher office hours will posted on lhs.leusd.k12.ca.us by this evening (Friday, April 10). They are also included on the attachments.

4) Have your student continue to study for their AP exams which will be offered on-line. Contact AP teachers or go to apstudents.collegeboard.org for more information.  

5) Have your student continue to prepare for College and Career Readiness by completing the enrichment activities which can be found athttps://www.leusd.k12.ca.us/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=1695720&type=d&pREC_ID=1856778 or through equivalent teacher created enrichment activities & make-up assignments (assigned by March 13).

6) Check out our new Distance Learning page on our Lakeside website. This space will serve as a hub for all things distance learning. We will continue to add student resources to this space on a daily basis to support your student's distance learning needs. So please save this link and check back often!

Rest assured, we will continue to work together to ensure you and your family receive the necessary support during these unprecedented times.
