A Message from Mrs. Hoynes

October 3, 2025

 

Dear Lake Families,

 

This week, we recognized many students for their hard work and efforts at the September house assembly.  It’s hard to believe it’s October already! We look forward to welcoming many parents to our Parent-Teacher Conferences this month, on October 15th and October 23rd. If you did not sign up for a conference with your child’s teacher, please reach out directly to them to do so. This is a great opportunity to hear how your child’s school year has started and get information about the Fall benchmark assessments that were completed throughout the first few weeks of school. We will also have our Book Fair open the evening of October 15th. Students will have an opportunity to shop during school hours October 13-17 as well. More information will be coming home today.

 

Wednesday, October 8th is our Walk/Bike to School day. We will meet at the MOL City Hall beginning at 8:20 and begin walking to school at 8:30. We hope many families will join in this fun event! There is no school on Friday, October 10th due to NEOEA Day. 

 

This month, we will have our first Response to Violence safety drill.  This is something that we do each year across the district to practice and prepare our staff and students for an emergency.  We will educate our students and practice how to respond if an intruder were to be in the building. This is done in a very child-friendly manner with the cooperation of the Mentor on the Lake police department.  

 

Halloween is also just around the corner.  We will be having Halloween class activities and a costume parade on October 31st. More information will be sent about this day very soon but please note that students are permitted to bring costumes to school, following the guidelines below:

  • Costumes must be easily put on top of students’ clothing.
  • No toy weapons or look alike weapon items.  If they are a part of their costume, they must be left at home.
  • No costume face masks are to be worn. 
  • Costume must not be offensive or disruptive to the learning environment

 

Have a great weekend!

 

Sincerely,

 

Mrs. Laurie Hoynes
