SCHOOL ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Fall is definitely here!  Please remember that students go outside for recess almost every day and need to be dressed appropriately to enjoy outdoor play.   We do have an indoor recess plan that is used for severe weather; otherwise students get to be outside and enjoy their playtime.

 

Lunch with the Principal:  There’s still room to join Mrs Hughes for a brown bag lunch on Friday 10/23 at noon.  Call the school at 822-4517 or email kmoran@lwsd.org to let them the know you’re coming.

SCHOOL NEWS:

Reflections: Reflections art projects are due next Monday, October 26th.  Entries can be put in the big purple portfolio at the front desk (behind Mrs Peterson’s desk).  From Tuesday through Friday, the visual arts and photography entries will be on display outside the library.  Come see Lakeview’s Wall Of Art. The school will be open from 7:30am -4pm.  For more info: Reflections program info, Reflections entry form, Reflections rules.

 

Picture Retakes: Donette Studio will be back at Lakeview on Monday to take pictures. If your child’s picture has not yet been taken, they need to bring in an order form (available in the school lobby and front desk) and payment to school Monday.  The studio will also do picture retakes, in which case your child should bring in their complete portrait package inside the original envelope on Monday. Parent volunteers may also have their pictures taken for their Lakeview volunteer badges.  Picture taking will begin at  8:30am for parents/volunteers.

 

Accelerated Reader: The New Accelerated Reader program (AREnterprise) has rolled out. Lakeview now has access to tests on 1000s more titles. Parents can monitor their kids progress using Home Connect at the website:  https://Hosted207.renlearn.com/294615/HomeConnect/Login.aspx. If your student doesn’t know the login and password, please contact his or her teacher. The AR tests are still to be taken at school. For basic info on Accelerated Reader, read here.

 

READING NEWS: On October 8th, our school participated in “Read for the Record”.  We helped set a world wide record of over one million people reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar in one day.  All classes at Lakeview participated.   ~ Mrs Georges

 

THANK YOU:

The Hoedown:  While we thanked the parents who helped with the Hoedown Family Dance last week, we forgot to mention Susan Peder, who organized the event. Thanks Susan for pulling together a fun night!

 

FUNDRAISING (Mark Jensen):  The Sally Foster fundraiser will continue through Oct 26th.  Please note, checks for catalog orders should be payable to “Lakeview PTSA”, and there is *no tax* on the orders..  You (or friends or family) can also order online at www.sallyfoster.com with school account number 292209, and the items will ship directly to you.

 

Direct donations to the PTSA are still (and always) welcome.  Checks can be made out to “Lakeview PTSA” and are tax deductible.

 

ENRICHMENT (Jenny Carlson):

NEW Snow Sports Bus, Part 2: Interest in the PTSA Winter Sports Program has been overwhelming! The bus is now full, with several students on a waiting list, but if we can get 17 more students to register before Halloween we can add a second bus so everyone can go. Registration forms are available here or in the magazine rack in the school lobby.

 

Ski/Snowboarding Conditioning Class:  Thursdays, starting 11/5 from 3:30-4:30 in the Lakeview Gym for $60.  Registration due by 10/30. Online version here. Paper copies of the registration form/waiver are on the magazine rack in the school lobby.  This class will require a parent chaperone – see below.

 

Changes to Before and After School Enrichment Classes:  The Lakeview PTSA is modifying how before and after school enrichment classes are run to align better with state PTSA policies and insurance guidelines.  This means that starting with all new classes, a parent chaperone will be required to be present at each class.  Families who sign students up for classes may be required to chaperone one or two classes, depending on enrollment.  Chaperones must have completed the LWSD volunteer background check and be a Lakeview PTSA member.  If you are passionate about a class or have questions email lakptsaenrichment@gmail.com.
