Lakeview Lecture
November Newsletter
From the Principal
We're rolling! Lakeview students and staff routines are set, and the academic progress has been amazing. I can't wait for the staff to share it all with you during parent/teacher conferences on November 7th and 8th. An important note for Lakeview P/T conferences is that every year we expect 100% participation, so if you are unable to meet during your originally scheduled time, please let the teacher know another date/time to meet or we can also set up a phone conference. It's really important to us that we are communicating with you, so we want to make sure we connect with every family!
Thanks to all who participated in the Trunk or Treat, Laps for Lakeview, and the Culver's night! We continue to have a long list of exciting events throughout the month of November, so please mark your calendars for the dates listed below. We are continuing the tradition of hosting a Veterans day assembly for students. Over the years it has provided students such an amazing experience to meet local servicemen/women and veterans so if you know of any current or former people who served, please call or email me and I'll reach out to them to see if they'd be interested in attending. We also honor veterans who are unable to make it in person or who have passed on, so even if you have names, we'd like to include them in our assembly. You can reach me at 262-472-8401, or abretl@wwusd.org. Due to space, we are limiting "in-person" family participation for the event, but we'll be sending out a live link for families to watch.
The Lakeview PTA is providing dinner for teachers during P/T conferences. If you are interested in signing up to donate food items, please use this link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0A45AAA82AA7F49-52559214-lakeview
As always, I want to thank you for partnering with us to support your child academically and social-emotionally, and if you ever have any questions about our day-to-day operations or outside of school activities, please ask. Thanks for your support of our awesome school!

Join the PTA
The Lakeview PTA is looking for more members!
The PTA is a great group of staff and parents looking for ways to support students/teachers/school activities. Signing up to be a member doesn't require you to help anywhere you aren't interested in, it simply helps keep our amazing little school connected in a positive way. A letter was sent home last week with more information about the opportunity as well as a sign up sheet. If you would like another copy or want more information, please reach out to the office and we can connect you with PTA President Jess DePorter.

Lakeview Attendance
It's important for everyone to be aware of the attendance guidelines set by the state. Per state statute 118.153(c), a child may not be excused from school for more than 10 days in a school year. (5 per semester)
Often times, parents don't realize how quickly the days can add up. To help, we will send notifications to families when their student is approaching the 10 day limit. Its also important to note that absences that are accompanied by a Dr. note, do not count toward the 10 day allowance.
If you have questions, please call the office.
