iReady Family Report
We are so excited about one of iReady’s newest features! New this Fall, the For Families Report is now available on the Student Dashboard! We have activated this feature for all families. Not only do you have access to the report, you have access to a multitude of information and resources related to the iReady diagnostic and personalized learning available to your student.

Counselor Corner
Hi LVE families,
After the busy Winter holiday season comes to an end, it can sometimes feel tough to get back to our normal routine. This is a great time to add some positive vibes to your daily family activities. Here are some ideas to try! You might even find that you enjoy them more than your kiddos! :)
--write affirmations on the bathroom mirror in dry-erase marker and read them together
--ask fun dinnertime questions ("What made you laugh today?")
--make up a fun family handshake
--try to say your names backward
--hum a favorite song while brushing teeth (add fun dance moves!)
As always, we're here to support your family in any way that we can. Please reach out if there's anything we can do to help 2024 start with some smiles. :)
Your School Support Team,
Stephanie Davenport (K-2 School Counselor)
Alissa Erbs (3-5 School Counselor)
Ally Tallin (School Support Interventionist)
Inclement Weather Preparation
The weather is getting colder, and we want to help you be prepared! Timely communication with our families is always a priority, but especially important in inclement weather/emergency school closing situations. Please notify your school office about any change in your personal contact information, so we have your current information on file. Visit the WSD website for information on District practices during inclement weather/school closings.
St. Charles County Library Partnership
St. Charles County public school district students have automatic access to library materials and online resources through the St. Charles County Library. This year, our families were provided the opportunity to opt out of this automatic access when completing annual forms at the beginning of the year. If desired, parents may opt out by working with their school librarian mid-year.
Wear It Wednesday
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.
