From the Principal...
The 2023-24 school year is off to a great start! Lakeview continues to grow again this year and we are excited to continue to offer our students more opportunities to learn and grow.
Last week we brought some of the homecoming fun to Lakeview with dress up days and other fun activities. Lakeview students and families represented well again this year with a successful stuff the bus food drive. (See pictures below!)
Many of our school clubs/activities have begun! Band, Choir, Orchestra, Student Council, and Lego League are some of the few that kicked off in September! During the day, Project Lead The Way, Library, Guidance, Intervention, and 7 mindets rotations all started to supplement our time spent on core academics. Lakeview PTA had its first meeting of the year to plan activities and fundraising events for the fall. Two in particular are Laps for Lakeview and Fall Fest. (More information below!) The PTA is always looking for members, participants, and volunteers for the events!
Literacy has been a large focus for our staff this summer. Staff participated in many hours of training on new curriculum and structure and we're off to a great start. Along with the new curriculum came new assessments and an updated model for intervention. We are excited about the direction we are going with Literacy and want to share it with you at the Lakeview Literacy Night. The Lakeview Family Literacy Night is on October 19 from 4-6pm in the Library. During this event, there will be a presentation and overview of the "science of reading", two teacher-led lesson examples, and food and childcare for all participants. Any questions, please reach out to the office! (More information is on the flyer below!)
As always, thank you for partnering with us to provide a great educational experience for your child! If you need anything, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Emergency Contact
School-to-Home communication
The WUSD app is up and running. All district-wide communication will come through the app as well as school communications through the "Rooms" part of the app. For the app to work effectively, you will need to have the app downloaded and have accepted the invite to the classroom. If you need the invite re-sent, the classroom teacher can do that for you. If you have other questions regarding the app and its functionality, please connect with the tech department by emailing jhouwers@wusd.org.
Lakeview Attendance Goal
Currently, we have 211 students at Lakeview and in the month of September we have missed 225 days of school. That averages to slightly more than a day per student!
Great work to those who have not missed a day!
