Parent Conferences

Due to today's weather cancellation, we will re-schedule conferences for this Thursday evening, March 21. If you had a conference scheduled for this evening, please try to attend at the same time Thursday night. Because of the change in date, conflicts may exist for you and your family. If you are unable to attend Thursday evening please contact your child's teacher to find a time that works for you. We are committed to spending time with each family, and will make every effort to find a meeting time that works for everyone. Thank you for your support for Lakeview and your students!

Minnesota Reading Corps

Next school year, Lakeview Elementary School will once again be host to a Minnesota Reading Corps (MRC), Literacy Tutor position.  MRC is an AmeriCorps program that is reducing illiteracy among our youngest generation (K-3).  Did you know that one in every five third-graders in Minnesota does not read at grade level?

 

MRC works with Minnesota schools, volunteers, families and community partners to provide proven, data-driven literacy models to at-risk children. All members are trained in state-of-the-art literacy research and become the vehicle of these proven methods as they work one-on-one with identified students throughout the year.

 

Children who don’t read at grade level by the end of third grade are at high risk of falling behind in all school subjects. This is why, MRC and Lakeview are teaming again to recruit and train a member for next school year. Please help us spread the word.  Our program this year has had great success as several of the students are now at their appropriate grade level in reading.

 

If you, or someone you know is interested in helping serve in this capacity, don’t hesitate to call or inquire with Lakeview's Principal, Eric Hudspith at 379-5021.  He can answer any questions you have about either position.  Details of each can be found on our district’s website under our Human Resources section or at www.MinnesotaMinnesotaReadingCorps.org

 

When you serve full-time for one year with MRC, you’ll receive free health care coverage, a semimonthly stipend and an education award of $5,550.   Service adds to any successful career and spending a year in a school is an ideal way to make connections and find your career path. Building our communities is a shared responsibility. Who better than you to help us end illiteracy in Minnesota?
