This Is How We Lakeview

It is hard to believe that Monday starts the last month of the school year. Next week, we will be celebrating National Teachers Appreciation Week. If you have time, please take a minute to drop a note or an email to a teacher that has helped to support your student this year.

May Dance tickets will be available online closer to the actual date of the dance. I will send out the link once they go live. I know that people have been asking about dance details. The actual dance will be from 7:00-9:00 pm.

Principal

Each month at Lakeview, teachers nominate the students who are going above and beyond what is expected of them. These students show respect for themselves, others, and learning through Building Positive Relationships, Personal Discipline, and Being Better Today Than Yesterday! Congratulations to our April nominees: Reinhold Katsiga, Horenus Girma, Lillian Batibapo, Jaden Gregory, Peyton Frost, Heidi McAyew, Jenna Piekenbrock, Wake Littrell

If your student has a negative balance in their food service account, please pay it off before the end of the school year. You can send cash, a check made payable to "PLSD Food Service" with your student to school, or pay online at mypaymentsplus.com. If you need assistance with My Payments Plus you can reach their parent helpline at 877-237-0946.

Questions? Please call the food service office at 614-833-3645.

They will be selling snow cones at $4/cup and Dippin Dots at $5/cup

Have you heard about the Spring Dance? It is a semi-formal dance for Lakeview students that will be held on May 20th from 7:00-9:00 pm. Spring Dance is a special time for our students and their behavior could influence their ability to be able to attend. Lakeview students have to earn the right to be able to attend the dance. Students who receive In-School Study or Out-of-School Suspension starting after Spring Break which is Monday, March 27th and leading up until the day of the dance will not be able to attend. If your student is following our Lakeview values and not engaging in any activities that could get them suspended, then they will be okay to attend. Any questions, please contact Mrs. Hanagan.

Notes on dress code - dress is semi-formal and follows our student dress code, i.e. appropriate length, shirts buttoned, no sagging pants, no undergarments showing, etc. Examples: nice pants (khakis or dress pants) and a shirt (polo or button down), dresses - think nice dress but not like for Prom (no midriff showing, no cut-outs, not backless, try to follow width of 2 fingers for straps). If you have questions or are out shopping, you can always send an email or Talking Points message which will send a notification to Mrs. Hanagan's phone so she should reply quickly.

This is a junior high dance in the cafeteria, this is not like Prom or Homecoming.

• Due to the wet weather, we pushed our final Club Day of the year to next Friday, May 5th.
• We want to give a big shout out to our School Resource Officer, Deputy Tabitha Stephens, for being named Lakeview's Friend of Education at last night's Friends of Education dinner/ceremony. The annual ceremony is co-hosted by the Pickerington Education Association and the Pickerington Education Foundation, and recognizes a "friend" for each building, honors retirees, and awards grant funding for staff/building projects.

Two pieces of feedback came in this past week:

• Families seem to love the school supply bundle. We are so glad to hear it!
• One family thanked our three school counselors for coming together to support a student. Mr. Max, Mr. Gill, and Mrs. Geiger listened, coached, and followed up so the student was able to get to a better place. Way to go, counselors!

This form will be linked in each Community Corner update, allowing families to offer feedback to the counseling and administrative team regarding social justice, mental health, academic support, friendships/relationships, etc. Counselors and administrators will review the feedback on a weekly basis and send out any updates to concerns/questions in the next Community Corner update.
