Roller Skating Party

On Monday, March 17th Lakeview will sponsor a roller skating party at the Lombard Roller Rink. Any student in grades 6, 7, or 8 who wishes to attend may do so. Students who will be attending the trip may remain at school until the trip departs. There will be an area provided for students to socialize or complete homework from 3-3:45 p.m. Buses will leave Lakeview promptly at 4:00 p.m. and return to school at 6:45 p.m. Parents are responsible for providing transportation home from school for their children. Money will be accepted in the school office until Friday, March 7th. Students who wish to attend must return their permission slip along with $7.00 to their Homebase teacher. Skates may be rented at the door for an additional $3.00 (regular skates) or $5.00 (roller blades). Roller Blades from home are allowed in the rink if they are clean and bolts do not stick out on the side.

End of Second Trimester

Although the weather makes it feel like spring will never come the calendar is telling us otherwise! This Friday is the last day of the Second Trimester already! I don’t know about you, but I can’t believe we are about to embark on the last third of our school year! When students return to school on Tuesday they will begin the Third Trimester. This means that Encore classes will switch on Tuesday. Does you child know where he/ she is to go for third trimester Encore classes? If not, they can always check their schedules on Parent Connect. Report Cards will be coming home with all students on March 11th so keep your eyes on the lookout!

IOWA Make-Up Tests

Tomorrow, Tuesday, will be IOWA Make-Up Day at Lakeview! Students who missed testing last week will be pulled from classes tomorrow to make-up the tests they missed. If your student missed testing last week please try and have them at school tomorrow. I know that the illnesses are running rampant, so we will do our best to get this testing done. Remember, students should be well rested and have a good breakfast prior to testing.

Pack the Place Success!

This week Lakeview hosted two Pack the Place events. It was a huge success! Over 200 students attended each day and it was enormously successful! The Choir sang the National Anthem, the Pep Band played throughout the game and the Leadership Team did a great job of entertaining the student body prior to the start of the games! I was very impressed with the outstanding behavior of the fans during both games. The school spirit was high and it was a great time! Hopefully, this will become a long standing Lakeview tradition.

Nine Week Point of the Trimester

Yesterday marked the nine week point of this trimester. If you have not already done so, I encourage you to access your child's grades online through Parent Connect.
Students who are ineligible to participate in extra-curricular activities will receive notification home through US Mail in the next few days. If you are having difficulty accessing your child's grades via Parent Connect please contact the office and we would be more than happy to assist you.

Pack The Place

A new Lakeview tradition is starting this week ... Pack the Place! On Tuesday, the Girls Basketball team will be playing Lisle Junior High and on Wednesday, the Boys Basketball team will be playing Cass Junior High. Prior to the start of the games, each day, from 3-4 p.m. we will have Pack The Place Pre-Game Activities. These activities include relay races, spirit contests, paper airplane contests etc. The Lakeview Pep Band will be playing prior to the start of the game and during the game as well. Our new Lakeview Choir will be singing the National Anthem at the start of the games. And of course, our goal is to “Pack the Place” and show school spirit! Students will be showing their school spirit, during school, by dressing in school colors from head to toe (Tuesday is green day and Wednesday is gold day.) Everyone is encouraged to come and join in the festivities and show their spirit! Remember to have your rides here by 5 p.m. Go Spartans!!!!

Canceled Activities

Due to the weather, all after school activities have been canceled. Students will be dismissed at regular time and encouraged to go straight home. All morning activities for Thursday have been canceled as well. Don’t forget tomorrow, Thursday, is an Early Dismissal School Improvement Day. Lakeview students will be dismissed at 11:30 a.m. Stay warm and drive safe!
