A Message from Mrs. Hoynes

October 10, 2024

 

Dear Lake Families,

 

Last week, we recognized many students for their hard work and efforts at the September house assembly.  We also had a great turnout at our first Walk to School day of the year.  Thank you to so many families for participating.  Our busy October is underway and we look forward to welcoming many parents to our Parent-Teacher Conferences on October 15th and October 24th. 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 next week as well.

 

Next week, 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.  The end of the first grading period is Friday, October 18th and there is no school this day. On October 22-23, our third graders will take the Fall third grade ELA Ohio State Test.  Please make sure students are well-rested and on time to school on those days.  

 

Halloween is also just around the corner.  We will be having a costume parade at 1:40 on October 31st, where students will parade inside the school, and then proceed outside around the perimeter of the building.  Parents are welcome to stand outside on the blacktops and front parking lot to watch.  Class parties will follow at 2:00.  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

 

Remember there is no school tomorrow, Friday, October 11 due to NEOEA Day. Enjoy the long weekend!

 

Sincerely,

 

Mrs. Laurie Hoynes
