LMS 5/6 Academy

Dear 5/6 Families,

We are super excited to welcome you to our Halloween event next Friday (Oct 30th). Our students will be enjoying trick-or-treating around our MS track. You can wear a costume and/or pass out candy. Students will be allowed to wear costumes too that are school appropriate on this day (no weapons, blood, masks that cover the face). Here are the times for the event:

6th Grade 12:40-1:30pm

5th Grade 1:40-2:30pm

You can sign up to participate at this link below:

If you are attending, please park in the events lot and check in at the MS track gates. If you cannot join us but would still like to help, we welcome any candy donations for trick-or-treating in the main office. We have 300 students per grade level.

We hope to see you at this fun event!

Survey Reminder - Please take a few minutes to complete our family survey if you have not already done so. Your feedback will help us improve student success and strengthen our learning environment.

• The survey takes less than five minutes to complete. Your time is very much appreciated.

• Your responses are confidential, and honest feedback will guide our efforts to create a supportive school environment for everyone.

• If you have children at more than one Lakeview school, please complete a survey for each school using the survey link specific to that building.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Together, we can make our school the best it can be!

Please take a moment to review the drop-off and pick-up guidelines below. If your child is dropped off in the front circle drive before 7:35, they will need to walk around the building using the sidewalk to enter through the student entrance, unless prior arrangements have been made with the 5/6 office. Please note that students will follow this procedure in all weather conditions.

If your student is going to be absent or tardy for the day please call our attendance line at the number listed below. You can also email Mrs. Creller or use Skyward to enter the absence for your student. Our attendance policy states that if a student is 10 or more minutes late to a period they are considered absent instead of tardy. If you have any questions or concerns about your students attendance please reach out.
