Greetings from the PTA

Hello Lakeview Families!

The Lakeview Elementary School PTA knows that strong partnerships among our families, school leaders and community members is important to the success of our students and school.  That's why we are participating in the National PTA School of Excellence program, which grows partnerships between the PTA and Lakeview community to enrich the educational experience and overall well-being of all students.  

Please take a couple minutes to complete a survey to reflect on your experience at this school before Friday, November 2nd.  Thank you in advance if you have already done so! We would like to achieve 100% participation!

Our next step is to select individuals to serve on our Excellence Team which will focus on the 6 Standards (see below).   

If you would like to serve on our Excellence Team, please review the National PTA School of Excellence website and submit an email expressing your interest to lakeviewbobcatspta@gmail.com by November 9th.   All applicants should plan to join us for more information on Monday, November 12th at 11:30 a.m. in the Lakeview Library.  Results from the survey will be evaluated and a shared objective will be selected.  

Thank you for your continued support and collaboration as we work toward becoming a National PTA School of Excellence!

Warm Regards,

Ann DeCapite
Lakeview PTA President
