Balanced School Day
The balanced school day schedule is an initiative to support learning in the classroom, promotes healthy eating and encourages daily physical activity. The schedule relies on a day that is nutritionally balanced for students, allowing them to eat/snack more appropriately for the needs of their young bodies, increase their concentration and energy levels and offer longer periods of uninterrupted learning/teaching blocks and physical activity. Your child will have two nutrition breaks each day - divided into snack time and playtime. Students will not need more food, they do need the same amount packed differently into Nutrition Break #1 and Nutrition Break #2. These aren't times to eat items like chips, candy or chocolate. It is time to eat foods that are healthy and satisfying. Parental Support
Parents want the best education for their children and are their children's first and life long teachers. Lakeview School values the partnership between home and school and recognizes that parental involvement is the key to success in school. Parents can help support Lakeview School by encouraging students to fulfil their responsibilities towards the school, other students and themselves. Reinforcing homework at home is an important factor of success at school for your child. Here are some helpful tips that will help your child develop good study habits. - Set a consistent time when homework will be done each night. - Provide a quiet place away from distractions. - Have your children practice math, reading and writing skills daily. - Talk to your child about what they are learning in school. - Read together with younger children. - Let your children help you in reading and writing, recipes, newspapers, letters,shopping lists. - Encourage your children to ask the teacher for help if they find the work difficult or confusing. - Keep in touch with the teachers and call when you have a question or concern. - Check that homework is completed. - Praise and encourage children.
