Results are In!
We’d like to thank everyone who participated in the 2009 parent survey which was conducted in the final quarter of last year. We had a 39% response rate. Although this represents a significant number of parents, we would like to encourage everyone in 2010 to participant in this year’s surveys. Below are the results of the survey:
Overall satisfaction with Lakeside:
94% completely or mostly satisfied
Overall Satisfaction with Teaching at Lakeside:
81% completely or mostly satisfied
Overall Satisfaction with Lakeside Curriculum:
81% completely or mostly satisfied
Quality of the feedback on students’ performance:
- 68% completely or mostly satisified

- 12% mostly dissatisfied
Action Taken: In 2010 Lakeside is introducing student portfolios which will highlight student work and achievement. Your child will become the docent as they guide you through their learning process. Experience your child’s performance first hand. In addition, join Mr. Charles once a month for coffee and discuss the Lakeside evaluation philosophy and methodology.
Suggested Improvements to Facilities:
69% responded
- Parking Lot with a system for the safe circulation of vehicles and a more welcoming set-up.
- Sports facilities: gymnasium, soccer field, basketball court.
- Library
- Lockers
Action Taken: The parking lot has been redone to include a separate entrance and exit which are clearly marked. In addition, a round about was added to help control the flow of traffic. We have also added an attendant to greet parents and children and help control traffic. (his name is Bismark, be sure to say hello!) Our after-school sports of soccer and baseball have been moved to our own fields where practice is held every week.
Extra-curricular activities:
Suggestions on extra –curricular activities included:
- an improvement on current sports activities so that there are age appropriate activities e.g. T ball instead of baseball for younger ones, younger children separated from the older ones for soccer.
- Activities that take advantage of the Lakeside farm
- computer club
- homework assistance
- martial arts
- band/music
- dancing
Action Taken: In the first semester of 2010, Lakeside has a wide variety of after-school offerings including a variety of sports, dancing, yearbook, art and science. Check out our after school calendar at: http://lakesideschoolcr.com/2010-school-calendar/
