Dear Lakeview Families,
Welcome to a new school year! It has been absolutely wonderful to see our students’ smiling faces back in the building and to feel the energy of our community coming together again. There is something truly special about being in the classroom, in the halls, and on the playground with all of our Tigers learning, growing, and supporting one another. At Lakeview, our mission is to empower every student to grow academically, socially, and emotionally - and there is nothing better than starting the year together, working toward that mission as a school family.
Den Days at Lakeview
One of the ways we build community and reinforce our mission is through Den Days! Each student belongs to a Den named after one of our TIGERS characteristics: Tenacity, Integrity, Grace, Endurance, Responsibility, and Strength. Den Days give students the chance to connect with peers across grades, participate in fun activities, and celebrate the unique strengths each Tiger brings. Our hope is that these days will help students strengthen friendships, develop leadership skills, and practice the very qualities our mission encourages.
Lunch Visits for Families
We also love welcoming parents and guardians to eat lunch with their students! Families are always invited to join their child for lunch, either with a school-provided meal or one brought from home. For safety and school policy reasons, only the student and their parent/guardian may eat together - friends or additional visitors cannot join. Additionally, we can only allow adults listed in the student’s contacts in PowerSchool to ensure the safety of all our Tigers.
We are looking forward to an amazing year filled with learning, growth, and Tiger pride. Thank you for partnering with us to make Lakeview a safe, welcoming, and inspiring place for every student!
Please feel free to reach out to me anytime! You can stop in, schedule a sit-down, call or email! I look forward to working alongside you to help your student be successful at Lakeview.
Our Tigers Pride
At Lakeview Elementary, we believe in nurturing well-rounded students who embody our core values, represented by the characteristics of Tigers Pride. These values guide our school community and help our students grow into responsible, compassionate, and resilient individuals.
Tenacity means never giving up, even when things get tough. At Lakeview, we encourage our students to keep trying and to find creative solutions to problems. We believe that determination helps our students achieve their goals and learn from their experiences.
Integrity is about being honest and doing the right thing, even when no one is watching. We teach our students to be truthful, fair, and trustworthy. By showing integrity, our students build strong relationships and earn the respect of others.
Grace involves treating others with kindness, respect, and empathy. At Lakeview, we emphasize the importance of understanding and appreciating different perspectives. We encourage our students to be polite, supportive, and considerate in their interactions with others.
Endurance is the ability to keep going, even when faced with challenges. We help our students develop the resilience to handle setbacks and to stay focused on their long-term goals. Endurance helps our students learn that hard work and perseverance lead to success.
Responsibility means being accountable for our actions and making positive choices. At Lakeview, we teach our students to take ownership of their learning and behavior. By being responsible, our students contribute to a safe and supportive school environment.
Strength is about having the courage to face difficulties and to stand up for what is right. We encourage our students to be confident and brave, both in their academic pursuits and in their personal lives. Strength helps our students become leaders and role models in our community.
Together, these values form the foundation of Tigers Pride at Lakeview Elementary. By embracing tenacity, integrity, grace, endurance, responsibility, and strength, our students are prepared to succeed in school and in life.
