Welcome Back New and Returning Lakeview Students and Parents – Can you believe the summer is already over?  We are excited here at Lakeview Elementary School and hope that everyone had a great summer vacation.  As we start the new school year I would like to introduce the new teacher and staff that we have recently hired.  Mrs. Joan Richman is a new teacher to Lakeview and she will work with our third grade team.  She has substituted many times for us in the past and now that her children are a little older she is excited to begin work here at Lakeview.  In addition to Joan, we have Mrs. Lyn Coble who will be our new Bookkeeper.  Lyn has worked in a host of jobs prior to coming to our school.  One of the most interesting is that of a Police Officer.  Lyn is excited about meeting our students and parents and looks forward to working with you.  Mrs. Shari Self and Kay Hysell (not pictured) are our two new teacher assistants.  Both of these ladies are wonderful people and they look forward to working with your children.

In addition to the new staff I am trying to produce an electronic newsletter for the first time.  I hope that everyone that has submitted an email address receives the newsletter.  If you have school friends that do not please tell them to send an email to Mr. Moss at mosss@wcschools.com and in the subject line put “New or corrected email for Lakeview Newsletter.”  I plan on sending out two newsletters per month, however, I will probably send more out at the beginning for the school year.  I hope this is helpful and informative.

Boo-Hoo Breakfast – The PTO is sponsoring a Boo-Hoo Breakfast on Monday, August 10^th following the morning announcements at 7:30 a.m.  We encourage all Kindergarten Parents to attend this meeting so that you can meet and introduce yourselves to our Lakeview family.  This meeting will take place in the Cafeteria.

Safety Drills – At Lakeview we want to make sure that students know what to do if there is an emergency.  We will have a minimum of 10 fire, 2 tornado, and 2 lock-down drills this school year.  We will have our first fire drill on Thursday morning at 8:20.

 

Morning Arrival and Afternoon Pick-Up – As in most school years the first two to three weeks of dropping-off and picking-up children sets the stage for the entire school year.  We would like to thank everyone for a smooth start to the school year this morning.  A few reminders will help everyone to remain safe and speed up our process:

1. Remember to cross at the crosswalk if walking.
2. Do not drop students off before 6:45 a.m.
3. Please do not use cell phones when picking-up or dropping-off students.
4. During afternoon pick-up please remain in your vehicles to pick-up your child. 
5. Place a sign with your child’s name and grade level on your dash for afternoon pick-up.

Thanks for your help making this a great school year.

 

Let’s Do Lunch - Eating lunch with students at Lakeview has become a tradition. We welcome you and hope you enjoy this time together. Here are a few suggestions that will help make your visit better:

• Please be sure to check in at the front office and get a visitor’s tag. Outside groups are limited to two people.  For safety reasons, if you bring other children with you, keep them seated with you at the table.  
• Know your child’s lunch time. Occasionally special programs, early dismissal, or other unforeseen events will alter regular lunch times. If you have a question, call the school, 758-5619.
• This year Lakeview has more students than ever and our cafeteria will be filled, but we will have a table designated for lunch visitors. Please do not ask other students to join you. Because of the rise in food allergies, please do not share food with other students.

We hope you will take advantage of the opportunity to share this time with your child, and we appreciate your desire to participate.
