Vision Screenings on September 17

In support of our commitment to promote healthy learners, our school nurses, along with trained volunteers, will conduct school-wide distance vision screening at Lakeview on September 17.

If your child wears glasses or contacts, please have them wear them on the day of the screening.

A child’s vision can change as they grow. Therefore, it is important that students receive regular screenings to identify those who might need to be seen by an eye care professional.

Early detection and treatment of a vision problem is critical to your child’s educational success, health, and well-being. You will be notified if your student does not pass the vision screening after the re-screening process.

Although school screenings are important, a comprehensive eye exam by an optometrist or ophthalmologist is the gold standard.

If you do not want your child to participate, complete the opt-out form and return it to your child’s teacher before September 3, 2026.

We look forward to ensuring every child is healthy and ready to learn.

Thank you,

Erin Hoehne

Making Our School Drop-Off and Pick-Up Safe

Since the installation of signage and a fence, we are seeing better use of crosswalks. However, we continue to struggle with traffic stopping in the pick-up lanes after school.

We have two lanes:

Lane 1: The lane by the curb where students exit and enter cars.

Lane 2: The lane used to drive straight through.

Please never leave your car unattended in either lane and do not stay parked in the lanes so traffic keeps moving.

If you need to wait longer than a few minutes to pick up your children, please park in the parking lot.

We are also asking students not to play games in the front while waiting to be picked up.
