Hello Lakeview Families!
Spooky Skate
Learner Qualities in the "Real World"
We want to hear from you!
Here is a short video describing The Learning Pit.
We are always looking for ways we can bring in relevant lessons to our students. Each month we focus on a Lakeview Learner Quality - for October we are looking at the importance of The Learning Pit. If you "get stuck and problem solve" in your everyday lives or in your careers, please click HERE and enter a description of how you persist and grow why those skills are important. We will share your replies with our teachers so they can in turn share them with our students. Please include your name and your profession in your email. We can't wait to read them!
Many Thanks!

1. Think before you post, your words have power.
2.Do not post pictures or information of children who are not yours. Privacy is important so do not post pictures or information about other students without parent permission.
3. If you have a question regarding events or information regarding Lakeview, your best bet is to always email your child's teacher or call the front office.
4. If you are unhappy with a situation or would like to share a concern, please always email your child's teacher or contact our front office.
5. Finally, stay positive. No one benefits when community members disagree on line.
