A Message from Mrs. Hoynes

August 5, 2026

Dear Lake Families,

Welcome to another exciting school year at Lake Elementary! I hope your summer was filled with opportunities to relax and enjoy time with family and friends. As we begin a new year together, I am thrilled to welcome back our returning Cardinal families and extend a very special welcome to those joining our Lake community for the first time.

A new school year brings fresh opportunities to learn, grow, make new friends, and create lasting memories. While there will undoubtedly be new challenges and unexpected surprises along the way, they also bring opportunities to celebrate successes and grow together. Our dedicated staff has been hard at work preparing classrooms and engaging learning experiences to ensure every student feels welcomed, supported, and inspired from the very first day. We are excited to partner with you in helping every child reach their full potential and make this a truly exceptional year.

This newsletter contains important information to help your family prepare for the start of the school year. Throughout the year, I will continue to share school news, upcoming events, and important reminders through my bi-weekly email newsletters, our LOOP text/email communication system, and on the Lake Elementary website. Please ensure your contact information is up to date in Infinite Campus so you don't miss these important communications!

If your child is entering kindergarten, you will receive additional information and I will thoroughly explain the information found in this newsletter, during Kindergarten Orientation on August 10. Families new to Lake in grades 1–5 are welcome to contact me if you're interested in touring the school prior to Meet the Teacher night. I can be reached by calling the school office or emailing me at [email protected].

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Together, we will make this a year filled with learning, laughter, growth, and unforgettable memories. If you have any questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. I look forward to seeing everyone soon and beginning another fantastic year at Lake Elementary!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Laurie Hoynes

Principal
