Safety patrol

SUPER SAFETY PATROL

School safety continues to be a top priority at North Lake School. 

Recent improvements include:

  • Increased lower and upper school staff at dismissal
  • Shatterproof film on all office glass including windows and doors
  • New cross walk signage
  • Ongoing staff training 
  • Monitored building access and Raptor Visitor Management System

“See Something, Say Something” is a shared responsibility of the North Lake School community.  

I would like to create a school safety FAQs in future WAVES.  Parents, please submit questions or concerns that I can answer.  I would especially like to inform our youngest and new families about the Board approved safety and security plan.

A Note from Ms. Meister

January is the time for mid-year assessments. Your child may have talked about aimswebPlus, i-Ready, or semester exams. These assessments are teaching tools. They  provide valuable data for instructional planning, measuring student progress and identifying needs. Best practice dictates using current information about students in order to plan instruction. Mid-year is a good time to gather more information while there is still plenty of time in the school year to make a difference.

Look for results coming home in the coming days. The results from these assessments also provide families with information about student performance in the content areas of reading and math. Family support is a significant factor in student success.

As always, if you have questions or concerns, talk with your child’s teachers and please feel free to contact me at school.

Cold Weather and Managing Asthma
Wintertime can be particularly rough on those who have asthma. When someone with asthma breathes in the cold air, it can cause the muscles in the airways to constrict rapidly and quickly bring about classic asthma symptoms including shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing.

For many of our students who have had one of the long lasting respiratory illnesses floating around this season, it is particularly important to take extra precautions when dealing with the extreme cold we’ve been having. 

Encourage your children to do the following if they are experiencing some sort of respiratory distress:

  • Keep your nose and mouth lightly covered with a face mask or scarf to help warm the air before breathing it in
  • Stay inside if it’s very cold outside
  • If you have an inhaler and start experiencing symptoms, use it immediately to keep your asthma from worsening
