Dr. Ackley’s Message . . .
UNIQUE CELESTIAL EXPERIENCE
Shout out to our glowing partnership with the Town Hall Library. The 5th and 6th grade students had a stellar experience viewing the solar eclipse at the Town Hall Library. The event drew 140 eager participants, and they enjoyed Eclipse Super Stuffed Oreos and Capri Suns. The 5th and 6th grade students were beaming with excitement to participate in this once in lifetime experience.
I am very appreciative of Mrs. Ruck making an effort to stay connected to our community and collaborate with Mr. Kaczor’s science class and Miss Emily, Youth Librarian. Mrs. Ruck also serves on the Town Hall Library Board and is a shining example of going above and beyond the stars!
COME TOGETHER
The successful operational referendum sustains the superior education experience found only at North Lake School. For example, the Lakers Manufacturing Experience will be offered to grades 5-8 for the 2024-2025 school year. Rising 7th and 8th graders should have returned their elective selection sheet by today. The fine arts department will continue to thrive, and Pop Rock Piano, Choir, and Art will remain elective experiences for students.
MRS. APEL’S OFFICE SUBSTITUTES
The Apel family’s clothesline is getting longer. Baby Boy Apel will arrive next week. We wish the growing family health and happiness.
Mrs. Apel’s health room and office duties will be shared by Mrs. Becky Dorrow and Mrs. Kathryn Daugs. We have planned for this transition with shadow days but still ask for your patience with these changes in the office. Please continue to notify the office of attendance by telephone or email to officesub@northlakeschool.org. Reach out with any questions or concerns.
DRESS CODE
Weather is getting warmer but that does not mean midriffs and bottoms should be shown! Please review the NLS dress code found in the Parent-Student Handbook with your middle school child and go shopping if your child has outgrown his or her clothing. Dress code violations are usually handled with a verbal warning but repeat violations will result in a behavioral referral.

KNOW AN ADULT WHO WANTS TO WORK?
North Lake School is desperately seeking an Assistant Night Custodian. The position has flexible after school hours. Please contact the office for more information.
KINDERGARTEN ROUND UP
If you or your neighbor knows of a rising five year old kindergarten student, please contact the school office so that we can plan for the upcoming school year. We are currently enrolling resident and open enrollment students for the 2024-2025 school year in all grades, 5K-8th.
TEACHER REQUESTS
There is only one way to make a teacher request for the upcoming school year. You need to put your request in writing (e-mail is fine) to me, Dr. Liesl Ackley. I am happy to honor requests whenever possible, but it is important that the requests are received in a timely manner. Requests must be made by Wednesday, May 1st. It is very difficult to accommodate requests during the summer or at the start of the school year for many reasons.

Counseling Corner
Hello North Lake Families!
We do many activities to help our students become productive, kind, responsible and respectful members of our community. We were excited to add to our activities this year with the Lead With Me program. During their time together the students in this group learned about what it takes to be a leader, what kind of leader they are and how they can use their leadership skills to help our community. They heard from community leaders including our own Mrs. Tarkowski, local business leaders and student leaders. What a great experience for these students!
A big thank you to Mrs. Kent who facilitated this experience for our students.
As always, please let me know if there are any ways that I can support your child!
Take care-
Jill Lesch
