FOL Haunted House @ Fun Fest!

Lakewood parents! We need you! Come out and help us scare our Lakewood kids this Saturday. We need help with getting the coffins and zombies into the hallway and setting up the strobe lights! We also need parents dressed to scare! We even have costumes for you if you don't! Pick an hour and come out to help. Sign up here. Big thanks from FOL!

3rd and 4th Graders, sign up HERE for your turn doing Campus Clean Up! Bring your own water and meet on the sport court.

Student Survey

On Wednesday, October 19, 3rd-5th grade Stallions will be participating in a short online survey through Panorama Education. The survey content will ask students to self-reflect on their own social emotional learning skills, like self-management and self-efficacy.

This data is crucial as we work to meet not only student academic needs, but also social/emotional needs. The feedback will provide invaluable insights into student experiences and how to improve and adapt our school to their needs.

If you have any question or concerns about the survey administration, don’t hesitate to contact Ms. Booth, our 3-5 school counselor at 972-749-7319 or dbooth@dallasisd.org.

 PREVIOUSLY SHARED INFORMATION

October is Rett Syndrome Awareness Month. This month Lakewood Elementary will honor the loving memory of one of our very own Stallions, Virginia Lang. As we remember her during this very special month, Lakewood Elementary is collaborating with a close family friend to install a memorial bench in honor of Virginia. During the month of October, we are encouraging families to donate in Virginia's memory to the Rett Syndrome Research Trust, a non-profit organization that we admire a great deal for its bold approach to advancing research on Rett Syndrome. The RSRT provides so much love and support for children like Virginia and their families.

Donations can be made online at https://reverserett.org/donate/

Please click “In memory of” and write in Virginia’s name.

Or you can make your contribution by mailing a check made out to RSRT to:
