NOVEMBER 2021 NEWSLETTER

MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Happy November Lakeview Families,

The fall always seems to be the fastest part of the school year. It is a time filled with new beginnings, assessments, new/renewed friendships, celebrations, and changing weather. As we begin the month of November, and approach conference time, I hope you are able to take a moment to pause as a family and appreciate one another. Your student(s) have been working so hard these first few months of school, and I hope you are able to take some time to celebrate all that they have accomplished thus far!

Take care,

Ms. Tabor

FRIENDLY OFFICE REMINDERS

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 November 1st.

Student drop off in the morning is from 7:50am-8:05am. The school day starts promptly at 8:10am.

Student pick up/dismissal on early release days is 1:39pm. Student pick up/dismissal is at 3:10pm on regular days.

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.

CONNECTIONS W/ GUIDANCE & MS. A

We are fortunate to have such a strong focus on SEL through our guidance lessons during specials each day, as well as the more prioritized master schedule to ensure Ms. A has more of an opportunity to provide SEL support through whole group instruction, as well as small group and one-on-one supports for students. If you want to learn more about Ms. A and the many ways she supports students, visit her website!

PARTIES, TREATS & LUNCH VISITORS

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.
