Officer Marik's Corner:

  Parents, we are now in the second semester of the school year. By now students understand all the rules that have been laid out for them. Some students choose to still ignore these rules. We still have students not complying with the dress code, i.e. not displaying ID's, sagging pants, ripped pants, shirts promoting alcohol and sexual innuendoes, etc. Starting this semester students at LakeView can now be disciplined for not complying with the dress code. Please speak to your child about displaying their ID around their neck (not just wearing it underneath clothing). If we cannot see it, it is a violation. Also, look your child over before they leave for school. If their pants are sagging around their hips, they are in violation; or if their jeans have tears or rips in them, they are in violation. Please help us maintain a professional appearance for our students. As always, you can reach me at 947-8155 or pmarik@kusd.edu . I thank you all for your support. Sincerely,

School Resource Officer, Paul Marik.

  Dear Family and Friends of LTA:

  Does your son or daughter struggle in mathematics or maybe just needs some extra practice to study for an up coming test? Even if your son or daughter is not taking mathematics course now, there is some important information that you need to know? The Kenosha Unified School District has adopted a new math curriculum last year along with brand new books and materials. With the new adoption, KUSD now has a website that all students can go to for math help and extra practice? The McDougal Littell website address is www.classzone.com . Once you are at the website click on the “Math” icon, then click on the “High School” icon, then click on the state of Wisconsin and choose the textbook used in class. From there students can pick any chapter and section they wish to study. If you do not have a home computer with internet access, don't worry! At the public libraries, they have computers with free internet access for all Kenosha residents; otherwise LTA has a limited numbers of CD's with some of the resources found on the website. Just have your son or daughter stop by to see Mrs. Castineyra about borrowing a disk. We hope your son and daughter can make use of this free study tool.

ATTENDANCE POLICY AND PROCEDURES

All students are required to be in attendance daily and when they are absent the following procedure MUST be followed. Parents must call the day of the absence stating the students name and the reason for the absence or send a note with student upon their return. Truant students who have not been excused will receive a phone call at the end of the day. After five unexcused absences, students will receive an Initial Truancy Letter that requires the parent to contact the principal to make arrangements to correct the truancy situations and work with the staff to help the student be in attendance daily.

• Please contact the school office the day of the absence at 947-8155. If a student is tardy to school, please call ahead of time and state the reason for the tardiness and the student's name. Unexcused tardiness will result in break detention (3 or more). Repeated offenses of unacceptable excuses will be noted as an unexcused tardiness. Please see your child's Student Planner for School Board Policies regarding attendance.

The purpose of this system is to give teachers and school personnel an opportunity to communicate messages of encouragement and information. In the weeks and months to come you can expect to hear from your daughter's or son's teachers, principal, or school secretaries short messages of significant interest to your student(s) and family.

Student Interventions is a program that runs from 9:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. every day of the school year except on testing days. Any student who scores below 70% on a test or quiz or whose class average is below 70% is required to attend Student Inter-ventions. This is a small group or one-one-one tutorial to help your daughter or son increase her/his grade up to 70% or better. This is not a punishment program but rather an organized effort to help all students receive passing and competent grades.

Kenosha Regional Science and Engineering Fair

  On January 12, 2008, Lakeview hosted the first Kenosha Regional Science and Engineering Fair. This fair is open to any high school student in Kenosha County . There were over 75 projects displayed. Projects ranged over 7 science and engineering categories. The winners for this year's contest won $100 and chance to go on to the national competition in Atlanta .

Get involved !

The students at LakeView have requested the resumption of clubs. Some of the present clubs function after school and evenings. The students would like a greater variety. If you have some time and interest to either chaperone or lead a club, I would like to know about it. I will try to match our student's interests with your time and talent. Please give me, Mr. William Hittman-Principal, a phone call at 945-2396 so we can discuss the possibilities.

JUNIOR & SENIOR PASSES

Junior and senior passes have been issued to all students who received all grades higher than 70% for last quarter and had no office referrals. The Senior Pass allows those students to have an open campus for lunch, meaning they are allowed to leave the building and get lunch elsewhere. Furthermore, they are allowed to leave for our 25 minute morning break time. Junior passes are ONLY for lunch and students need to have a parent sign a permission slip in order to obtain this privilege. If any student returns late or gets in trouble while gone, their pass will be revoked either permanently or for a specified period of time based on the violation. This privilege extends from quarter to quarter. This means that to earn the privilege for quarter 3 they need to maintain 70% academically and no office referrals from quarter 2, and so on.
