What's happening at Lakeview...
Updated Information
Dear Lakeview Families,
Sunday evening our Superintendent, Dr. Migliorino, that as a result of this rapidly evolving situation, the incredibly difficult decision has been made to begin this school year in a fully virtual format for a period of time as we continue to work on plans to phase students back into our buildings as soon as it is safe to do so. Also, the first day of school for students has been pushed back to Monday, Aug. 24, to ensure our educators have adequate time to finalize their lessons and instructional delivery plans.
I have been asked by many parents to re-explain the options for the school year. Since school is beginning in remote learning/virtual mode, I want to communicate and clarify the enrollment learning options, as it is important to select the correct option when you enroll.
Norman Public Schools 2020-2021 Instructional Options
Traditional Instruction with Lakeview Teachers (on-campus AND remote)
Blended Instruction with Lakeview Teachers and NPS Virtual Teachers
Virtual Instruction with NPS Teachers
Virtual Instruction with Edgenuity Teachers
1. Traditional-The Traditional option is for parents to choose if they want their child to attend Lakeview in person. All students will be placed on a Lakeview teacher's schedule and will receive their instruction from him/her. As the decision was made to move to remote/virtual learning at this time, our students will receive their instruction from the Lakeview teacher he/she is assigned to. When we return to school, these students will return to on-campus instruction with this same teacher. We will be posting the classroom assignments closer to the student's start date.
2. Blended-The Blended option remains the same in that a parent will choose either morning or afternoon for their child to attend Lakeview. The child will receive instruction during the time he/she is on campus from the Lakeview teacher he/she has been assigned to. For the other portion of the day, the child will receive instruction from an NPS teacher using the virtual means.
3. Virtual -The Virtual NPS option is for parents who want their child to be off-campus (virtual) for the semester or school year. With this option, your child will be taught by an NPS teacher but not necessarily a Lakeview teacher. This person will be the same throughout the school year. So when the rest of the students come back to in-person instruction, the virtual students will continue instruction with their virtual teacher at home.
4. Virtual Edgenuity- The Virtual Edgenuity option is for parents who want their child to learn virtually for the semester using the Edgenuity program. This option will not be taught by NPS teachers.
If your learning option choice has changed since you completed Online Enrollment, please contact Kelly or Dede in the front office.
If you have any questions or concerns, please send me an email paulap@norman.k12.ok.us or call at 366-5899.
Please stay healthy and stay safe.

Please help me welcome our new teachers to Lakeview!
Rachel Timm - Kindergarten Teacher
Hello! I recently graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a degree in Early Childhood Education. I was fortunate enough to complete the first half of my student-teaching at Lakeview and was thrilled when a kindergarten position became available!
I'm originally from Moore, Oklahoma. I have a younger sister named Ryleigh who will be in 4th grade in Moore. She is generous enough to provide me lots of insight as to how to be a "nice and fun teacher"! I can't wait to begin my first year teaching alongside so many great teachers. I feel so lucky to be teaching at Lakeview!
