Welcome Back to School!
Lakeview 5/6 Academy
Principal's Welcome
Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,
Welcome to Lakeview Middle School 5/6 Academy for the 2022-2023 school year! As I was out and about this summer it was nice to see children and families interacting again and enjoying one another's company. I hope you all had a very restful and enjoyable summer and I am looking forward to having all of our students back in the building.
Please review the information in this newsletter to ensure that you do not miss any events that support you and your students start to a great year! The goal is for all of our students to leave LMS 5/6 Academy confident and prepared as they progress through their educational experience with Lakeview School District and that can only be accomplished if we work together.
We are going to have a great year at LMS 5/6 Academy! If you need anything, do not hesitate to reach out to us. I can be contacted at the school at 269-565-3900 or via email at tjamierson@lakeviewspartans.org if you ever need assistance.
Your Partner in Education,
Mrs. Tamara L. Jamierson
Principal, LMS 5/6 Academy

Registration Day
Registration Day is meant to complete any forms needed before school starts and give you the opportunity to pick up your child's schedule.
There are a few things you can do ahead of time to make your trip to the middle school go a little faster this day!
1. Fill out your Home Information Report ahead of time! This saves you from having to fill it out in-person. ALL FAMILIES ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE HOME INFORMATION REPORT (HIR) in order for our school to continue to qualify for free breakfast and lunch for ALL students. The Free/Reduced lunch application is OPTIONAL**.
**You may want to complete this if you feel your family would qualify for free/reduced pricing and you'd need reduced prices on Chromebook fees, athletic fees, etc.
2. Have your child's online registration done in Skyward! (Many of you already did this last spring for the upcoming school year -- if you're unsure, just call our office and we can check for you.)
3. If you have a new student to our building and plan to pick up a Chromebook for your child to use this year from our technology department, pay the technical support fee ahead of time so you don't need to wait in line to pay. The technical support fee is $20. (This fee is reduced for families who qualify for free/reduced lunch.) If you are a first-time user to the SchoolPay system, use the email you have on file with us and then click " I Forgot Password" to get your account set up.
If you are able to complete these steps prior to registration day, your visit to the middle school will be very quick and easy! If not, all of these items will be required when you come that day to registration.
Other items available at Registration Day:
- WEB Day information
- Summit Pointe Mental/Behavioral Health Support
- Transportation/Busing Registration
- Technical Support (Chromebook repair / Login Assistance)

5th Grade WEB Day - August 19
We are so excited for our incoming 5th graders to join our building this year! WEB (Where Everyone Belongs) Day is a great opportunity for your incoming student to meet their future classmates, explore the middle school building, and ask questions about the middle school experience. Our counseling department and 8th grade WEB leaders guide our new 5th graders through team-building activities and tours of the building to help them navigate their first days of school successfully. **Please note: WEB day is for students only. Parents/Guardians should plan to drop off and pick up only.
Busing is available to and from the middle school for WEB day from specific sites in the district. Click on the busing link to access the different locations and times.
New Student Orientation (for new 6th grade students to our building this year) - August 19
For any 6th grade students who are new to our building this year, we invite you to come to our New Student Orientation from 1 - 2 pm on August 19 as well! You'll have a chance to meet some of our 8th grade WEB leaders, ask questions about the upcoming school year, and have a tour of the building.
We look forward to seeing your student there!
