Lakeview Elementary will host our annual Veterans Day assembly on Monday, November 11, at 2:15 p.m. We want to provide our guests with some important information regarding our assembly.

We will be opening our doors to honored guests and their families at 1:45 p.m. This event will be held inside our school’s gym. All visitors will need to be screened through our Raptor System. We will be doing a pre registration check as we have for Fall Parties. Each visitor will need to complete the form. Here’s a link to our form. All forms should be completed no later than Wedneday, November 6.

Visitors can park in the front parking lot. We will open our playground parking lot if additional parking is needed. Staff members will be outside assisting our visitors with parking. We ask that you enter through our special area entrance doors on the west side of our building (between the library and the gym). Staff members will be checking in visitors at tables inside our special areas/commons area. All Veterans and their family members are invited to sit in our designated area within the section of blue folding chairs in the gym.

Students who have veteran guests attending the event will have an opportunity to visit and take pictures once the assembly concludes. Parents/guardians who wish to sign their child out early will need to do so through the office following the event. We look forward to honoring and celebrating our Veterans on this special day!

Our school's Measurable Results Survey (MRA) data is in! Thank you to our families, staff, and students for participating in this survey. This survey has helped us identify strengths as well as areas where we can improve and track our school's overall progress. Click here to view our school's highlights. View district-wide survey results here.

As we approach the colder months, we want to re-share the District communication that has information regarding the WSD's inclement weather procedures for the 2024-25 school year. This year, snow days one and two will be traditional snow days. After our second snow day this year, we will switch to AMI (alternative methods of instruction) for snow days three through seven. Read more on what to expect this winter here. View AMI assignments here.

Signing Students In/Out

(Very Important Information for Parents- Please Read)

With the update to the Focus software, the way you will sign your student in and out at the office has changed. We are no longer using the touch screen at the front desk. This has been replaced with a scanner kiosk that parents must now use for signing students in and out.

To use the scanner, you must access the barcode of your student located within the Focus app. There are instructions attached on how to access the barcode. Barcodes are not accessible on the Focus website, only the app. If you do not have the barcode when you are signing a student in or out, you must know your student's ID# and enter it manually. Please take the time to screenshot your barcode(s) for easy access when in the office, or write down student numbers in an easy to locate place. Your help in being prepared with this information will allow for a more quick and efficient check-in/out process.

District Emails

If you're not receiving emails from WSD staff or schools, they might be landing in your spam folder. Learn more on how to fix that. You'll want to make sure you familiarize yourself with the district email domain: All district emails are delivered from: noreply@sis.wsdr4.org.

Here are a few training videos you may find helpful as well.

*Students can not be dismissed from the office after 3:30 p.m.

Don't let 2 missed days define your year! Research shows that most students with just 2 absences in the first month of school go on to miss more than 25 days total. Students who miss just 2 days of school a month tend to be more stressed and anxious. Children's mental health is important. Help lower student stress by encouraging attendance when students are not sick.

A parent or legal guardian must call the school office each day a student is absent. Student attendance will be recorded on a daily basis. When a student returns to school after an absence, a note of explanation from the parent, legal guardian, physician, or other health providers, must be submitted for absences to be excused. Failure to submit notes or make telephone calls explaining why a child is absent will result in the absence being marked as unexcused. You can reach our attendance secretary, Mrs. Kim Majesky, at 636-332-2923 or send an email attendance.lakeview@wsdr4.org.

If a student comes to school after 9:00 a.m., he or she will be counted as tardy and a parent must sign them in at the office. Please do not send a late child into the building alone. A pass will be issued by the office secretary to admit the student to class. Students are considered tardy if they are not in their classroom by school start time (9:00 a.m.). Being on time is important. Students who come late miss important educational experiences.

Changes to your child’s dismissal/transportation plans need to be communicated to the teacher or the main office. If you need to make an occasional transportation change (car rider instead of the bus, etc.), you must send a note to your child’s teacher. If that is not possible, you may call the office on the day of the change before 3:15 p.m. so the office staff has adequate time to notify your child’s teacher. You must provide a note or call each day that you want your child to go home in a different manner than usual. Students may not be signed out of the office after 3:30 p.m.

Wear it Wednesday!

Every Wednesday at Lakeview is a House Spirit Day, which we call WEAR IT WEDNESDAY! If your child wears a shirt reflecting their house color, they get one house point. We recognize not all families or students have official house shirts, and we want to recognize students who rock their house colors. As a reminder the colors are:

Altruismo - Black

Amistad - Red

Isibindi - Green

Reveur - Blue

If your child comes to school in a house shirt OR wearing a shirt of their color, they earn a point for their house.
