From the Principal...
It's hard to believe it's May! Having only 26 days remaining in the school year makes it crunch time to fit in all the end of year learning experiences and events for our students. It's a good 'busy' but the final days definitely go way too fast! As you will see below, the calendar for May and June are full of events. In addition to the list in the newsletter, additional reminders and information will come home with your child.
This past month we began enrolling some of our newest Lakeview students during 4k and K registration. The annual update window is open for families to update student and personal information. (If you have questions or need help with this, please give Rachel a call in the office.) We've also begun the transition process for our 5th graders leaving us for middle school next year. Middle school staff visited Lakeview on Tuesday and Wednesday students went for a tour of the middle school.
Music, band, and choir have been practicing for their final concerts, classes are preparing for their final field trips, and we are putting the final touches on the organization of the last few all-school activities. The Color Run (5/17) is new this year and will be an exciting activity for students and their families to participate in! Natureland day (5/30) is a tradition at Lakeview and with hopes of nice weather, it will be another amazing activity! This year is our second year for the Lunch on the Lawn activity (6/5). It is an opportunity for families to come to Lakeview and eat lunch on the playground with their child. Families are able to pre-purchase a school lunch or they can bring their own. The event will take place over the lunch hour 11-12:30, more information to come!
We are also in the process of planning for next year. We are excited that the school board approved us to hire another 5th grade teacher! This means our student population has grown enough to have two classes at each grade level! The board also approved us to expand from a part time to a full time school counselor! Once we have these positions filled, we will send out information of the new staff. The last day of school, all students will bring home their end of year report card which will include information about their teacher for next year.
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.
