Dear Lake Forest Elementary School Community,
We have and always will make safety our top priority here at Lake Forest Elementary School (LFES).
Before school started this morning, law enforcement and school administrators dealt with a situation on campus involving an individual in one of our parking lots who was behaving erratically. We locked down the school immediately, and the individual was apprehended very quickly.
We would like to thank our local law enforcement for acting swiftly to ensure the safety of our entire student body and staff. We also want to remind parents that if they or their children see or hear something suspicious, they should contact the school or law enforcement right away.
By working together, we can make sure Lake Forest Elementary continues to be a safe place to learn!

Dear Parents/Guardians,
A letter will be coming home to inform you that we are unable to begin supervising your child until 7:15 am each day.
The lack of adults available to supervise students before 7:15 am and the increased number of students being dropped off early is creating a safety hazard for all.
Beginning Tuesday, November 12, 2019, all walkers, car riders and bus riders will not be permitted to enter our campus until 7:15 am.
Thank you.
Mr. Finley
