Principal's Letter
Dear Lake Windward Families,
Our school's PTO is hard at work! They have planned a movie night for October 28th on our school's field, a Boosterthon Fun Run/Fundraiser for Oct. 27-Nov. 4 and an International Night for the beginning of December. Please be on the lookout for more information about these events. There will be lots of opportunities for parents to volunteer and get involved with our school community. Please see more information below in this newsletter!
The LWE School Governance Council (SGC) has met a couple of times already this school year and will continue to meet to discuss important school topics. During meetings, as a council we review school achievement data, discuss our semester action plan goals, review teacher wish lists and feedback regarding resources needed, determine how to spend charter dollars as well as many other things. If you'd like to learn more about our SGC, please check out the following webpage: https://www.fultonschools.org/domain/1422 .
Our district is currently planning for redistricting which could potentially affect some LWE families next school year. If you'd like to participate in the next public meeting, it takes place tomorrow evening (Oct. 18th) at Alpharetta HS from 6-8pm. Maps have been created from the first round of public meetings which took place last month. Here is the website to review them: www.fultonschools.org/redistricting. The meeting tomorrow night is the third round of public meetings. It is important that parents provide feedback.
Have a great week!
Warm regards,
Julie Morris

Seeking Volunteers to Join the Yearbook Crew!!!
Hello Gator families,
My name is Lindsey McIntosh, and I have been your LWE yearbook chair person for a number of years. This will be my last year as my youngest child is going on to middle school next year. It has been an absolute joy to capture and share memories of the school year with our LWE families and teachers each year. I truly believe that I found the most fun and rewarding way to volunteer for our great school. I would love to find some wonderful new volunteers
this year that would like to continue the tradition of creating a yearbook for our school. I will happily train everyone who is interested.
No experience is necessary, just a willingness to learn and have fun with this remarkable community of LWE Gators.
Here is what we’re looking for…
-Introverts AND extroverts - there is something for everyone here and as a card carrying member of the introvert club, I promise it’s safe!
-People who like to take photos OR want to learn to take better photos. The more the merrier! (*No fancy camera needed)
-People who enjoy page design or book design, OR want to learn. Literally anyone can do it!
-People who are friends of the people above, because everything is better with friends and anyone can do this!
Reach out via the email below to inquire or sign up!
Don’t be shy, we really need the help and I cannot wait to hear from you!
Lindsey McIntosh
