A note from the Principal
Welcome to 2024! We hope the year is already off to a great start for you and your family.
We are back to learning and growing at Lakeview. We are jumping into the new semester and excited for all the fun ahead.
Please look for separate communications at the end of the month regarding our spring Parent Teacher Conferences, scheduled for Feb. 22 and 29.
Sincerely, Mrs. Westlund
2nd grade
service project We are so proud of our 2nd grade class! They brought in 516 rolls of toilet paper and made 16 celebration kits to donate to the Solon Food Pantry!
Winter reminders As the weather continues to drop and we prepare for the potential of snow, please keep the following in mind:
• Recess is held outdoors as long as the real feel temperature is 10° or higher.
• Students can ALWAYS use encouragement to wear their coats, gloves, and hats outdoors.
• It’s a good idea to write your child’s name in his/her personal belongings.
• When snow begins to fall, students will need boots and snow pants to go off of the concrete during recess.
Winter notifications As winter weather arrives, be sure YOU stay in the know! Earliest notifications will be available through our Solon App! Download the app to your smartphone or other device and be the first IN THE KNOW!
Once you download the app, be sure to set notifications to ensure you are alerted to any weather-related schedule changes!
Here’s how:
1. Download the app.
2. With the app open, tap in the three lines to the bottom left of your screen.
3. After completing step 2, tap on the “settings” gear wheel in the lower right of your screen.
4. When a new menu appears, tap on “Push Notifications.”
5. Select the notifications you wish to receive (district, by school).
6. When finished selecting, tap “done.”
It’s that easy!
Now is also a good time to check that your email and phone number are up to date in our Powerschool system. To do this, please log into your Powerschool account, click on “forms,” and then edit your contact information.

Library update New year, new books! Encourage your student to check out our new picture and chapter books. Thanks to the PTO and the book fair, we have almost 50 new books from Scholastic!
This month the 3rd graders will be exploring the different genres of books we have in the library and giving students a chance to “taste” a new book or two. Who knows? Maybe some picky readers will discover something that will get them excited about reading on these long winter nights! We will also be reviewing our library skills to make sure we can find the books we love.
Kindergarten through 2nd grade will be reading stories celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. and working our way through the rest of the Goldfinch Award books for the year. If you are interested in seeing the complete list, you can find it at www.iasl-ia.org/awards/book-awards/goldfinch-award-k-3-winners#h.etcch44pgyvl.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at [email protected].
