Weekly Newsletter - September 30, 2022
Dear 7/8 Academy Families,
Students had a great time this week on the Spirit Days for Homecoming. It was nice to see so many students showing school spirit each day. Please look later in the newsletter for some pictures of the pep assembly we had last Friday.
Today students today completed their second Academic Success Reflection. If you have a chance, please ask them to log into Schoology and show you their reflection to help support the work we’re doing in the building of holding them accountable for their academic behaviors. You should also receive a progress report from each of your student’s teachers today to help you have a conversation with them about their current academic progress.
Please contact the teacher if you have any questions about progress reports, or contact the office if you are not receiving progress reports.
Thank you, and have a great weekend.
Shannon Walker
LMS 7/8 Academy Principal

Students who are admitted to the game may not bring a bag or backpack and are expected to stay in the stands to watch the game. They will not be allowed to congregate in other areas of the stadium.

Students on Prairieview Elementary Property
Lakeview Middle School students may not go onto Prairieview Elementary property after our dismissal. This causes a disruption in the learning at Prairieview, and creates an unsafe environment on their playground. Students on Prairieview property will be subject to disciplinary action at the middle school.
