Martin Luther King Day
There will be no school Monday, January 16th, in honor of Martin Luther King Day.
MAP Testing
We are almost finished with the MAP testing. I have been studying the reading scores and am delighted with how well your children have done. They have been encouraged to slow down and do their best work and it seems like that is what they did.
Ozzie's Reading Club
Ozzie's Reading Club begins this Sunday. If you haven't seen the handout yet, look in your child's backpack or notebook. This can be a great way to encourage your reluctant reader to read! The requirement to receive a free ticket to the Kane County Cougar's game is to read for 1 hour a week for 8 weeks.
Parent Traffic Alert
Please read the following letter 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
