3) *Save The Date* "The Wild Robot" is coming to Lochside Elementary ~ Jan 26

Details: January 26. This year is the 25th Family Literacy Day, its theme is "Let's Have a Family Party." 

In celebration of all families do to contribute to support literacy development, Lochside Elementary would like to welcome family members and/or guardians in to classrooms at 8:50-9:15 am to read with students. 

Students, staff and parents can optionally dress-up as a literary character on this day. A gentle reminder that costumes can not include weapons or masks.  Check out these resources to host your own Family Party on Family Literacy Day 2024.

4) *NEW* Fun Lunch (January - June 2024)


We have 10 Fun Lunches planned for the rest of the year. Orders are open on the hot lunch website: https://lochside.hotlunches.net/

Some important things to note:

  • Orders will be accepted until 7:00pm on Thursday the week before a scheduled fun lunch. For example - orders for Friday January 26 will be accepted until 7:00pm on Thursday January 18. 
  • Late orders cannot be accommodated. 
  • Please read each order screen carefully - there is often extra information to make ordering as easy as possible.
  • Email us at lochsidefunlunch@gmail.com with any questions/concerns sooner rather than later. We would also love to hear from you if you have any suggestions for next year's fun lunches. 

Fun Lunch Volunteers

We would not be able to do this for the students if it wasn't for parent volunteers. We would love your help if you can make it work in your schedule:
