The Lakeshore Public School district, located along Lake Michigan in southwestern
Michigan, includes the Stevensville and Baroda communities. Lakeshore is a suburban
community with a mixture of light industry, agriculture, and subdivisions. The
combination of suburban living within easy driving distance of Chicago, South Bend, and
Kalamazoo attracts managerial and professional families. The school system is comprised
of three K-5 elementary buildings, one 6-8 middle school, and one high school.
Our Mission
Moving from Good to Great by focusing on every child every day.
We are committed in Lakeshore to becoming better every day. We have two guiding principles that direct our thinking. The first principle is “Moving from Good to Great.” We know that we cannot be satisfied with being just “good enough” but rather we must strive on a daily basis to reach to new heights. The second principle is “Every Child Every Day.” We know that before students can do their best they must know that there are adults who care about them as individuals. We are working constantly to demonstrate to students that we care.

H1N1 Flu Update
Friday, November 6, 2009 |
It appears that we are returning to a normal amount of absences. Our peak level of 477 district wide absences (16%) was on October 26. Today, we were at 175 total absences or 6% of the total student population. We normally run between 4% and 5%. Thank you to everyone for paying special attention to your child’s health and for taking all necessary precautions.
There is no telling if the high levels of flu will return in the next weeks or months, but I ask you to continue working with your children on personal hygiene and doing all the things that we have asked in the past including:
- Keeping your children home when ill, especially when they have a fever. Students should not return until 24 hours after the fever has broken without the use of medication.
- Reminding your children to wash their hands often with soap and water.
- Picking your children up from school immediately after being notified that they are sick.
The district has installed hand sanitizers throughout the hallways in each building as well as in various high-use classrooms. Students appear to be using them frequently.
We will continue to keep you informed as new information becomes available.
Sincerely,
Donald Frank
Superintendent
