The parent who has coordinated production of the Lakeview Yearbook for the past 4 years is in need of a few volunteers beginning in September. Individuals must be interested in learning the ropes during her last year and taking over this project moving forward. Shared tasks include recruiting photography volunteers, gathering photos from classroom photographers (through online site), laying out pages, coordinating production with the yearbook company, marketing yearbook sales, distributing and collecting order forms, possibly photographing school events, and more. All layout is done online from your home computer. Majority of work occurs between February and April. Hours dependent on numbers of classrooms and number of volunteers willing to learn the program. To find out more email Jenny Carlson at fiveftjen@gmail.com. (Inquiry does not imply a commitment.)

As we approach the end of the school year it is important to reflect on where we have been and plan for where we are going. A critical piece of data we use in our reflection and planning as a school and as a district is your feedback that comes through the LWSD Parent and Community Survey (http://www.k12insight.com/k/SsWYVTsVWVsPsPsP). We go through this data with a fine-toothed comb every fall at an administrative level, with our building leadership team, and as a staff. Unfortunately we typically receive only a few dozen responses, which represents a small fraction of the over 400 Lakeview families, let alone the larger Lakeview community. Your feedback is very important to us: it will be reviewed, reflected on, and used in our planning. 

Please feel free to forward the link to friends and neighbors (http://www.k12insight.com/k/SsWYVTsVWVsPsPsP). We would also like to hear from community members who do not have students in our schools. The survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes. School-wide results for selected questions will be published as part of our school's annual report, which will be distributed to all parents next fall.
