Lakeview Elementary

Happy December Lakeview Families,

I cannot believe that it is already December. While December is often a relatively short month at school, it is also one of the best! This month always seems to be filled with a great sense of joy, love and togetherness! Personally, I love decorating for the holidays and having the opportunity to spend time surrounded by those I love most. I hope this month brings you all hope, joy and happiness!

All of Lakeview continues to be busy teaching, learning and growing. We do our best to ensure that each day is filled with plenty of opportunities for rigorous learning and collaboration. Every minute with our students is focused on teaching, learning and building connections. It is important to us that we continue to provide quality instruction even during the days leading up to winter break (which will be here before we know it). We all know how precious and often limited time is in education, so each moment is spent focused on the opportunities to keep moving our students forward!

Thank you for your continued support!

Take care,

Ms. Tabor

Here are the guidelines and expectations for classroom Holiday parties this year. The goal is to be able to provide some Holiday fun while maintaining safe practices. Please let the office know if you have any questions.

• Treats following the District Nutrition Guidelines will be allowed
• Parent volunteers will be allowed on a limited basis (3-4 per class)
• Parties will consist of activities within the classrooms (decided by each teacher)
• Parties will be scheduled within the last hour of the school day on Wednesday, December 22nd

*Teachers will send out a sign up genius next Friday with treat and volunteer sign ups.

Please see the below flyer regarding treats for classroom parties and birthdays. All treats brought in must follow our wellness policy guidelines. No homemade or unpacked treats will be allowed in the classrooms.

The School District's Nutrition Department is a great resource for ordering treats that meet the wellness policies. If you are interested in ordering items through the District's Nutrition Department, you may contact Becky West at bwest@solon.k12.ia.us and she would be happy to help!

Lastly, in order to continue the spacing in the lunchrooms, we will not be allowing lunch visitors again this school year. This will help us maintain some social distancing and lower numbers in the lunchrooms while students eat. We appreciate your flexibility and understanding.

Here are a few friendly reminders from the office staff. Please let the front office know if you have any questions.

• Please remind your child to check the lost and found for any of their items they may have misplaced. Items will be removed on December 1st.

• Please drive slow in the parking lot and drop off/pick up areas and be mindful of students who may be crossing.

• As we approach the colder months, please help remind your child(ren) to bring their jacket to school. Unless there is inclement weather, recess will be outside. It is important that students come to school with the proper outdoor accessories.

• The cold weather can bring changes to some of our student's normal dismissal routines. Please be sure to email your child's classroom teacher and the office (blighty@solon.k12.ia.us & acannon@solon.k12.ia.us) by noon with any changes to their dismissal plan. This will help us ensure a smooth dismissal and that each student gets to where they are supposed to at the end of the day.
