Week 1


It is hard to believe that the first week of school is over. The weeks has gone by in a blur and everything is operating as if we have been here for several weeks. Thanks to all of our staff members who have worked so hard to make this a smooth week as we re-learn our roles at school.

This week we have experienced the kick-off of our new PBIS Program at Lakeview and Prairieview which has gone very nicely and the teachers and students have responded well to this new program.

Welcome to our new staff members:

At Ide welcome Ali Beseth and Robin Bicum who are working as instructional aides

At Prairieview welcome Melissa Milbrandt and Matthew Wansley who are working as instructional aides

At Lakeview welcome Maria Gannon, Health Aide and Elizabeth Schwenkal, 8th grade science.

Have a great weekend!

Open House


Just a reminder that we welcome all students and parents to visit their school tomorrow morning between 9:00 and 11:00 am. Building have been prepared by our custodial staff and classrooms prepared by teachers. We hope that you will be able to stop by and meet your teachers and leave your school supplies in your new classroom. School supplies that were pre-ordered through the PTO will be waiting in your child's classroom. We hope that you will note the many fine facility improvements that have been made at Elizabeth Ide School and Lakeview Junior High School. You will be pleased with new washrooms, flooring, and painting as well as wireless networks in each building. We are ready for a GRRREAT school year and look forward to seeing you this week.

School Bus Safety Alert


School start next week! Please review this important list about state laws regarding school zones and school buses.

The DuPage Regional Office of Education, in partnership with the Illinois Secretary of State, wants to remind all citizens of the need for safety around our schools. Last year saw a dramatic increase in school bus loading zone fatalities. Nearly half of the deaths occurred near school buses where motorists failed to stop for a bus with its red lights activated and stop sign extended.


Safety Alert for Students
• Never assume cars are going to stop for the flashing red lights of a school bus. Always look both ways and proceed with caution.

Safety Reminder for Motorists
• On a two-lane road, traffic coming from both directions must stop for a school bus.
• On a multiple lane road, traffic traveling the same direction must stop for a school bus.
• The general speed limit in a school zone drops to 20 miles per hour during school hours when children are present.
• It is unlawful for drivers to talk on cell phones while driving in a school zone.
