ABSENCE

If your student must be absent, call (740) 928-2661 as early as possible on the day of the absence and provide a note on the day the student returns. If no call or note is received, the absence will be considered unexcused. Acceptable reasons for excused absences are provided in our Handbook.

TARDY

Students check in at the office anytime they enter school after 8:50am. 

LEAVING EARLY

Parents must sign a student out in the office if they are leaving school early. Students should turn in early dismissal notes to their homeroom teacher in the morning. When you arrive, report to the office to sign your student out. However, please avoid early pick-up when possible. It is very disruptive to the school day and students miss valuable academic time.

DROPPING OFF

Parents may drop children off starting at 8:30. Drop-off is in front of Jackson Intermediate School.  Buses are located in front of Lakewood Elementary. No traffic is allowed in front of the Lakewood Elementary area between 8:15am and 9:00am.

PICKING UP

Parent pick-ups dismiss at 3:20pm to go down to Jackson Intermediate. Pick up is at the Jackson Intermediate building. The OFFICE must be informed by no later than 2:30pm if there is a change in your child’s dismissal for the day. For full details on our policies and procedures, review the 2026-27 Lakewood Elementary Handbook.

Please connect with teachers and administrators via email, phone or virtual call when possible as we are limiting visitors to our buildings.
