With Interim grades being posted this weekend, we've officially reached the mid-way point of Quarter 2. The rest of this quarter will fly by with Thanksgiving Break coming soon and then the quick three weeks before Winter Break.

Because the end of the quarter will be here before we know it, we encourage our students to use their planners, complete their weekly grade checks in Study Hall, and be proactive about communicating with their teachers if they are struggling with any material.

For our families who are planning to join us for Lunch with a Loved One on December 10th, please make sure to fill out the Google Form linked below. This will help us better estimate the number of attendees.

Please consider joining us on Tuesday, December 10th for our first Lunch with a Loved One. On this day, we invite our families into the building to have lunch with their students. Families will have a space reserved in our Media Center, so please sign up as soon as possible so we can plan for enough space.

Please note that Lakeview is not providing lunch. Since Lunch with a Loved One is a special occasion, we allow families to bring in outside food from restaurants.

Our Student Council has put together a Spirit Week to celebrate Fall and our upcoming Thanksgiving Break. Students are encouraged to dress for the theme each day next week.

In collaboration with our soon-to-be-unveiled Panther Family Circle (PFC), Mrs. Broz-England is holding a design contest for the PFC logo. Any interested students should read the information below before designing their logo. All logo submissions are due to Mrs. Broz-England (Room 504) by Wednesday, December 11th.

Our Lost & Found is quickly filling up.
