Lakeview Lecture

This past month has posed many health challenges for students at Lakeview, with many families affected by the flu. (Below, I have included the district's health guidelines for your reference.) Additionally, we have implemented "deep cleaning" protocols to eliminate any remaining germs after school hours. Your cooperation in keeping ill children at home is greatly appreciated to ensure the safety of all.

All families should have received their child's report card this week, which includes the "Home Connect" document detailing the mid-year literacy assessment score. For those with children on an IEP, progress notes regarding individual goals were also provided. We will discuss academic progress and assessment results during the February parent/teacher conferences. However, if you have urgent inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact your child's teacher, who will be glad to assist. Your child will bring home a conference date and time; please return this information promptly to help us finalize our schedules. We recognize that families are very busy, but we value the chance to discuss your child's progress. Our goal is 100% attendance, so if you cannot attend the conference, we will reach out to reschedule or discuss matters over the phone.

Lakeview is an amazing place, and we are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to your child's development. Thank you for your partnership in supporting your child's academic and social-emotional growth. Should you have any questions regarding our daily operations or extracurricular activities, please feel free to ask. Your support for our wonderful school is greatly appreciated.

Join us in honoring Kathy Pieper as she marks 50 remarkable years of teaching at Lakeview Elementary School and her 75th birthday. Throughout the years teaching and volunteering, Kathy has profoundly influenced countless lives during her time in education, leaving a lasting legacy in the Whitewater community.

To show our appreciation to Kathy, Lakeview Elementary is celebrating “Pieperpalooza” the week of February 3-7. The main school-wide events include the kickoff assembly, Pieper Parade, Pages with Pieper, Pieper Potluck, and morning Pastries with Pieper. While most events are organized for students, we are inviting family and friends of Kathy to be part of the kickoff assembly on Monday, February 3rd at 2:15pm at Lakeview Elementary School. All visitors will need to check in at the main office.

To honor Kathy's remarkable contributions over the last 50 years, we encourage all friends, family, former students, and colleagues to share their appreciation on Kathy’s “Kudo board.” You can participate by clicking on this link.

For more information related to student health, please use this link which will direct you to the district website: student health services. You may also call the school health office with questions.

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.
