Dear Lakeview Community,
Thank you to all who attended last night’s Back to School Night event! If you weren’t able to attend, please make sure you connect with your child’s teacher to receive their presentation material so you are informed about the expectations for this school year. Your partnership with the school is one of the main factors contributing to student achievement.
Birthday Celebrations at Lakeview:
- NEW Birthday Messages on the Marquee! Wish your child (or staff member) a Happy Birthday on the Lakeview marquee for just $20. Please see the attached flyer from PTA. Deadline is 09/11/26.
While we are happy to honor and celebrate your child’s birthday, please be mindful of our Student/Parent Handbook expectations, page 14. Any items brought to school that do not follow our expectations will not be distributed. Thank you for understanding!
BIRTHDAYS
In order to provide a quality education free from interruptions that distract from instructional time and to support our District’s Health and Wellness Policy, the following guidelines have been established:
Food items are NOT permitted to celebrate a student’s birthday at school. Consider collaborating with your child’s teacher to purchase an appropriate book that can be read by the teacher to the class or donated to our school library, or provide NON-FOOD items such as pencils, stickers, or gift bags to celebrate the special day.
Any food brought to school will not be distributed to students during the school day.
Birthday observances will not occur during instruction time. (Singing “Happy Birthday” to students is appropriate.)
Flower bouquets, balloons, and other gifts delivered to the school to celebrate a birthday are not permitted. This causes a tremendous distraction to the classroom instruction.
For young children, school is a main way to grow friendships. As such, the following allowances for the distribution of birthday invitations is as follows:
- TK - 2nd grades: Parents may provide teachers with a full class set of invitations on Mondays. They will be placed in the weekly Thursday folders for all students. If there is not an invitation for the full class, they will be returned.
- 3rd - 5th grades: Please utilize the class contact list organized by your teacher’s room parent in order to distribute electronic invitations. Teachers will not be placing invitations in Thursday folders.
Meet our School Counselor: Brenna Larson! Mrs. Larson is new to Lakeview but not new to PYLUSD. Please see the attached flyer for information on her school-based counseling services. Mrs. Larson has already been to some classes for introductions and has been present during our recess and lunch times to get to know students.
