At Lakeside Public School we…
In Kindergarten, we believe that…
Believe that each student is very intelligent and has a unique set of skills
Believe each student can choose to be a hero every day
Want each student to have the courage to fearlessly be themselves
Want all students to run to school and walk home
Each child comes to school with their own unique skills and abilities
All children grow and develop at different rates
Every child’s success, both big and small, should be acknowledged and celebrated
Each child should feel safe, respected, and included in all classroom activities
