NO SCHOOL on Monday, 1/16 - Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Birthday
Please read the attached note from Dr. Tiede:
Dear Parents:
We desperately need your help and cooperation to bring order to the
automobile traffic on the Lakeview Campus. This past school year we have
had several dangerous incidents such as cars driving in the bus lanes, cars
driving on the sidewalks, and parents dropping off children away from
designated drop-off zones where children have to cross traffic. To protect our
students, we need your cooperation and adherence to the established traffic
plan which is attached to this letter.
When it is not possible for your child to ride the school bus please observe the
following traffic rules while operating your automobile on the Lakeview
Campus:
• Never drive in the BUS LANE.
• Prairieview student drop off is clearly marked in the east parking lot.
DO NOT drop your child off in the front traffic circle where they must
cross the bus lane.
• Parking in the front traffic circle is restricted to BACC student drop-off
and school visitors.
• Lakeview student drop off is at the rear of the school. PLEASE pull all
the way up to the end of the sidewalk so that the other automobiles are
not forced to block the bus lane.
• PLEASE drive slowly and carefully through the parking lot area as
many students who walk to school cross through the parking lot.
• The traffic pattern after student drop off is to proceed west until the
fence and then south until the second row of cars where you may turn
east to exit.
• NEVER turn left upon entering the Lakeview parking lot. Please
follow the pattern above.
• Remember when exiting the Lakeview Campus that the stoplight will
activate more quickly if your front tire is 2 feet in front of the marked
stop line.
Thanks you for your cooperation. Let's have a Safe and Smooth traffic year.
Sincerely,
Jay Tiede, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
BINGO has been closed. The school no longer sends out paper notices for activities such as these; please watch your email for messages from the office.
Our MATH MAP test is scheduled for Wednesday, 1/18. Whatever you did to prepare your child for the READING MAP, please do again! Our scores were GREAT!
BENCH MARKING to measure your child's fluency is during the morning of Thurs., 1/19.
GRADE LEVEL SPELLING BEE is on Thursday, January 19 at 1:30. We had stiff competition in our room to come up with two participants.
Here is our upcoming week in a nutshell:
MATH
Students will take a graded review on Chapter 20 lessons 1-5 so I can check their progress. Then, we will learn about Fahrenheit temperature before closing out the customary measurement chapter. Most likely, the test on these concepts will be Friday, 1/20. Please continue practicing multiplication facts at home.
READING
Our class will focus on the questioning strategy this week. There are a few picture books I will use to practice this strategy with before the students will write questions about their own "good fit" books.
SPELLING
List 13 pretest is on Tuesday. The final test and all homework is due on Friday, 1/20.
ENGLISH
We keep work, work, working on those verbs as we explore verbs in the future, the special verb "be" and helping verbs this week. We are also writing our autobiographies.
SCIENCE
Did you find out what each bead of our water cycle bracelet's represent? We will take a graded review of lesson 2 (water cycle) on Friday, 1/20.
SOCIAL STUDIES
Focusing on Science.
Have great weekend in the SNOW!!
