Message from the Principal- Cameron Ramirez
College Day was a big success. Lots of thanks to all of the parents who came and shared their enthusiasm about college. We want to make this a yearly event! We will also have Career Day on December 16th with a similar format. If you are interested in participating, please email JulieScott@hebisd.edu.
You will notice that here is now a green clothes bin on Ash Lane. Please bag up any used textiles and donate. This is not only good for the Earth but also supports the school as a fundraiser. More information below!
See everyone at Menchie's tonight!
Please help us by celebrating what we are doing well and giving us tips on how we might serve you better. You can click on the link below:

GUIDELINES AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM THE LAKEWOOD SCHOOL NURSE
* Please keep all phone numbers and emergency contacts up to date. It is important that I can reach you in case your student becomes ill or had an injury.
*HEB ISD policy requires a parent/adult to transport all medications to and from school. If a child is to self-carry an inhaler or epi-pen, the appropriate paperwork must be signed by the physician and parent. ALL MEDICTIONS REQUIRE A SIGNED PHYSICIAN ORDER FORM BEFORE THEY CAN BE GIVEN TO THE STUDENT AT SCHOOL. This includes over the counter medications such as Tylenol, Advil or cough drops. Expired medications will not be given to the student under any circumstance.
* If your child has Asthma, please provide inhaler and/or breathing treatment to the school nurse. The clinic does not have nebulizer machines for breathing treatments. If a child is having difficulty breathing and the nurse does not have appropriate medication, it may be necessary to call 911 if the parent cannot bring the medication soon enough.
* If your child has severe food or other allergy and require Epi-pen, please provide Epi-pen to the school nurse. If the student needs food substitution in the cafeteria, a form must be filled out by the physician. And if your child has a peanut allergy and you would like them to sit at a “peanut free” table during lunch, please notify the school nurse.
*If your child needs to be excused from physical activity for more than 4 days, a letter from a physician must be provided. Any letter indicating a physical restriction must also state when the child may return to full activity. Please do not send your child to school with crutches, wheelchair or cane if they have not been seen by a physician. If your child seems to have an injury severe enough to require these items he/she needs to be evaluated by a physician.
* Each child should have a change of clothes in their backpack. Bathroom accidents, lunch time spills, and mud puddles happen every day. There is limited amount of clothing available in the clinic, and when student comes home with change of clothes from the clinic, Please wash them and send them back to the clinic, except for underwear and socks. If we do not have clothing available for the child, you will have to leave home or work to bring your child’s clothing.
* Please keep your child home for the following: fever of 100 degrees or higher, vomiting/diarrhea in the last 24 hours, ringworm of the scalp, undiagnosed rash, and redness/crusting of one or bother eyes, or if you believe your child is ill. The student has to be fever free without medication for 24 hours before student can return to school. Please do not medicate for fever and send them to school, when the medication wears off fever usually returns. This also inhibits the spread of illness among other students.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call me. I am very excited to be here at Lakewood, and I look forward to a safe and healthy school year.

SAFETY CONCERN
All doors are locked when the bell rings at 7:50 am. Students will need to go to the front door to get a tardy pass before going to class. Please remind your child that they must get a pass from the main office before reporting to class. This means if they are coming in by the gym, once the bell rings they must travel around the outside of the building to get to the main office.
Please help us by getting your child to school on time every day.
Wednesdays are COLLEGE Day!
Family Trips
The school calendar is located in your child's MOOSE. Please look for school holidays to plan family vacations or trips. Important instruction takes place every day and we don't want your child to miss anything and possibly get behind!
