Welcome to Lakeview!

     Welcome to Lakeview and to the 2009-2010 School year!  Families are very important at Lakeview.  We hope you stay informed about events through our Website and information sent home in the Thursday Folders.  We also hope you support your child’s participation in school activities.  The best predictor of a child’s school success is your involvement in thier school experience.

     A Key to your child’s success:  We are responsible for teaching your child, however it is difficult to do our job if your child is absent or tardy.  Learning builds day by day.  A child who misses a day of school misses a day of learning.  Children can copy notes or make up an assignment, but they can never get back what’s most important:  the discussions, the questions, the explanations by the teacher and the thinking that makes learning come alive.  Children who are tardy also are interrupting their learning and the learning of others in the classroom as they walk in after the class has begun.  Please arrange appointments and trips on days we are not in school or after school is dismissed.  However, if your child is sick with a fever or vomiting, please keep them home.

     We have many improvements at our school.  We have an updated fire alarm system and security cameras that have been installed throughout the building.  These improvements are due to your support of the 2007 bond issue.  Lakeview Elementary and Norman Public Schools thank you. 

     Thank you for attending our Back-to-School Night.  We had a huge turn-out.  Our next event will be “Curriculum Night” on September 8^th at 6:00 p.m., with the PTA meeting beginning at 7:00 p.m.   Grandparents day will be Friday, September 11th during Live at Lakeview.

     We look forward to working with you and your child this year.   

Respectfully,

Paula Palermo
