Dear Lakeview Staff,
We are so proud of our students grades 3-5 for completing their 1st week of state testing! Additionally, thank you to our staff members and each student in grades PS-2 who have helped maintain a quiet and optimal testing environment for our upper graders. We have two more weeks to go!
Upcoming is the Lakeview Staff Appreciation Week from May 8-12! Thank you to all the parents who have already donated items that will be used to shower our certificated and classified staff next week for a joint Appreciation Week. Please see the attached flier for daily gratitude acts.

Take a look at the attached flier to get a sneak peek at what students will learn about.

Cyberbullying Parent Presentation May 16

Cyberbullying and Digital Drama: Keeping Kids Safe, Happy, and Healthy in the Digital Age will be held via Zoom on May 16, 2023 from 6:00-7:00 p.m. In our ever-changing world with a lot of time being spent on digital devices, it is important to keep the conversation going about what parents can do to support their children in the complex environment of online learning and socializing.

As we near the end of the school year, please note our Teacher Request policy as outlined in our Student Handbook:
CHOICE OF TEACHERS
To ensure well-balanced, heterogeneous classrooms, we do not accept teacher requests. In order to provide the best learning environment for all students, many factors must be considered. A qualified team will make the proper recommendation for the placement of your child. Kindly refrain from sharing requests with staff or administration.
Check out the PYLUSD Good News HERE.
Add your Lakeview pictures to the Yearbook!
Do you have class photos from recent activities? Share them with our Yearbook Committee to get them into the 2022-23 yearbook by emailing them to: Lakeviewlionsyearbook@gmail.
Everyday Counts!
Please help your child be on time everyday! Students need additional time to walk from the valet to their classroom line. We begin our community flag salute at 7:50am. The warning bell is at 7:45am.
Independent Study Contracts
If you have a planned trip of 3+ days, please notify the office and your child’s teacher. An independent study contract can be arranged to ensure your child has ongoing access to their learning and provide for recaptured absences. We kindly request a 2-week advance notice.

Option 1: Fill out the Absence Reporting Google Form, located on our school website.
