Spring 2021 Missouri Assessment Program (MAP testing)
It’s hard to believe, but the end of the 2020-2021 school year is just around the corner. It is important to maintain our momentum and focus throughout this final home stretch. Our teachers and students are diligently focusing on curriculum and grade-level expectations to ensure that we finish the year on a high note. We appreciate all of your efforts in supporting this journey to excellence!
Throughout the month of May, Lakeview students in Grades 3-6 will participate in the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP). MAP is one way we measure student achievement, as well as our progress with curricular and state goals and standards. The MAP Grade-Level Assessment will be administered online. Our MAP schedule/window will extend from May 3- May 21. Please refer to your child's classroom newsletter (in April) for more detailed information about your child's testing schedule.
Please help our students shine by making sure they get plenty of rest each night and have a healthy breakfast each day. We also ask that you ensure that your child arrives at school each day on time, and we kindly suggest that you avoid scheduling appointments during testing hours. Finally, we recommend that you talk to your child about doing his or her best on the test, but not to the extent that he or she is worried or stressed. This is not a test for which students study; it is a chance for them to show what they know!
Testing Dates:
3rd Grade- May 3- May 7
4th Grade- May 17- May 21
5th Grade- May 10- May 14
6th Grade- May 10- May 14
Upcoming Calendar Dates
March 19 - No School
March 22-26 - No School for Spring Break
March 29 - School Resumes
April 12 - Late Start Day (last scheduled late start of the year)
Fifth-Grade Camp Information
We have some exciting news to share with you! The District made the decision in the fall to postpone our 5th Grade Camp experience due to COVID-19. We are pleased to announce we have made plans to offer this opportunity to all of our Lakeview fifth-grade students on Thursday, April 29, and Friday, April 30. We plan to schedule our camp experience as close to the typical experience as possible and have already secured the parks for these days.
Fifth-grade Virtual Academy students are welcome to attend fifth-grade camp with their home school. If students in the Virtual Academy plan to attend, they will be assigned to one of our current in-person classes.
Please mark your calendars and be on the lookout for additional information that will be sent out from our Camp Director, Mr. Gill.
Thank you for your patience and support this year. We can’t wait to get to camp!
Six Flags Read to Succeed Update
During the 2019-2020 school year we had many students participate in the Read to Succeed program and earned a ticket for Six Flags. Tickets were distributed with the supply pick up at the end of the previous school year. Six Flags has extended the expiration date for any unused tickets. So, if you haven't used your ticket, your ticket is now valid through August 31, 2021. Please contact our librarian, Mrs. Cook if you have any questions at jennifercook@wsdr4.org.
WSD Meal Distribution Update
The District continues to provide free meals for all students through June 30, 2021 or until available federal funding runs out. The meals are being provided regardless of eligibility as a result of the extension of waivers by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) related to the Seamless Summer Option program. This includes children ages 1-18 who reside in the Wentzville School District boundaries but are not enrolled in a WSD school. For more information please contact the Child Nutrition Office at 636-327-3858 or click here
V.A. Pages for the 2021 Yearbook
The Lakeview Yearbook committee is looking for photos of our Lakeview students learning from home. We get to speak and visit with your child's teachers and they are bragging and telling us about all the exciting learning that is happening from home. We would love to receive any photos you may have captured during this time of Virtual Learning.
Please email them to:
Thank you,
