This Is How We Lakeview
July 2023 Edition: Volume 4
Latest Updates
Despite the statewide issue with the testing platform on Wednesday, we were able to finish strong with our first week of testing. Students who were unable to take Part 1 of the ELA test on Wednesday had that opportunity today, and everything went as smooth as possible.
Now, we turn our attention to next week's Math OSTs. Students will be taking either the Math 7, Math 8, Algebra, or Geometry state tests next Wednesday and Thursday. The same reminders apply: Please remind your students to charge their Chromebook each night so it is ready to go for testing, and encourage them to get a good night's rest.
Don't forget about the simple way to support our PTO. Use this link to donate directly to their PayPal.

Summer PE Class Opportunity
Please see the flyer below for information PLSD's Summer PE program. The class runs from June 3-14, 8:00am - 2:30pm each day. For a current 7th grader to qualify to take the class, they must have taken Physical Education this year due to it being for HS credit.
Cell Phone Policy Reminder
The issue of cell phones in schools has been a topic of discussion around the state recently, so we want to remind families of our building policy.
The district's cell phone policy for grades 7-12 permits students to use their cell phone "before and after school, during their lunch break, in between classes as long as they do not create a distraction, disruption or otherwise interfere with the educational environment, during after school activities (e.g., extra-curricular activities), or at school-related functions." At Lakeview, this means that students are allowed to use their phones during class change and during their lunch period in the Cafeteria.
The progression we follow to enforce cell phone use violations is as follows:
1st violation: Warning and Contact Home (either student emails home and copies teacher OR teacher emails/calls home)
2nd violation: Lunch Detention
3rd violation and beyond: Office Referral
May Dance Expectations
As we toward the end of the school year, one of the bigger events still on the calendar is our annual May Dance, which will be held on Saturday, May 18th. More information will be sent out in future newsletters.
Starting April 2nd, when we return from Spring Break, any student who receives In-School Study (ISS) or Out-of-School Suspension (OSS) as a result of a behavior incident will be ineligible to attend the May Dance.
