Please talk with your 8th grader about these requirements, and stay tuned for more information about Crossover and deadlines for Trimester 3 grades.

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.
