Welcome to the 2021-2022 Virtual Back to School Night!!! Our teachers have been hard at work to create Landing Pages and videos to share with our families. Landing Pages are a year around resource tool for you to know classroom expectations, important dates, contact info and more!
Please click the button on the right that says "Click Here to visit Teacher Landing Pages"; underneath each teacher's name is the button that will take you directly to their personalized page.
Thank you for joining us!
A message from Assistant Principal, Kelly Winter:
Hello, and welcome to the new school year! I am excited to become part of the Lake School community! A little about myself: I was born in South Lake Tahoe and have lived in or near the lake for most of my life. I spent the last 19 years at Douglas High School as a math teacher, department chairperson, and leadership team member among other duties. I have a master's degree in Mathematics Education and another in Educational Leadership, and was the DCSD Distinguished Secondary Educator for 2020-21. I have two children in DCSD. Connor is a senior at DHS and Alex is an 8th grader at CVMS. I am a competitive endurance runner and OCR athlete, and spend most of my free time running on trails around Lake Tahoe. Being an administrator in the place that brings me peace and energy is incredibly exciting!
The required Annual Update and Review of your child's contact information will be available on your DCSD Infinite Campus parent portal on May 1, 2021. This required annual process has moved from paper format to the electronic parent portal and provides the District with the most current and accurate contact and health information in case of an emergency for your child. Updating this information will ensure that we are able to reach you in the most efficient and timely manner.
Just click More on the sidebar, then click Online Registration to begin. Thank you very much for taking a few moments to review and update this important information.
