Happy Monday, Lakewood Families!
Last week, our teachers received some on-site coaching around the new English Language Arts curriculum. The coach modeled two lessons- one was in Mrs. Roberts’ 2nd grade classroom, and the other was in Mrs. Minna’s 4th grade classroom. The students in both classrooms did a fabulous job of following the routines and being respectful to the coach.
As many of you know, we are facing challenges with transportation, specifically having enough drivers to fill all of the routes. Because of this, we realize that route times are longer. If you know of anyone who wants to be a bus driver, please encourage them to apply at https://www.hvs.org/page/human-resources.
Our Lakewood PTA will be hosting a trunk-or-treat event next Friday, October 23rd in the Lakewood parking lot. The event is from 6-7 PM. However, if you will be decorating your trunk and handing out candy, please arrive at 5:30 PM and plan to stay until the event concludes.
Speaking of Halloween, just a reminder about our upcoming Halloween Parade on October 30th. Weather permitting, our parade will be at 12:05 PM around the exterior of our school building. If the weather does not cooperate for us, our parade will be moved indoors for staff and students only.
As you begin to purchase costumes, a few reminders…
Gory and/or scary costumes will not be allowed. Instead, children are encouraged to wear child friendly costumes such as superheroes, story book characters, movie or T.V show/cartoon characters, etc.
While we understand that make-up is often an integral part of the costume, we regret that it cannot be worn for the school fall activities.
Absolutely no weapons or replicas of weapons are allowed in school.
Blow-up costumes do not work for the parade, as they restrict movement.
We understand and respect that not everyone feels comfortable with costumes and/or participating so feel free to choose the level of participation that meets your child’s needs.
Have a great week!
