Mrs. Ackley’s Message . . .
Dear North Lake Families,
Last week, Mrs. Flannery’s Fabulous First Grade
Class helped clean up the school grounds on
Earth Day. Thank you, children, for taking care
of your environment and your school. Thank you,
Mrs. Flannery, for modeling citizenship and service at North
Lake School.
Looking ahead to the glorious month of May, North Lake
School will host a Blood Drive
from 2:00-6:00 p.m. in the MPR
on Monday, May 9th. We will also
feature our Anti-Bullying Program at 5:00 p.m. in the big gym
with J.K. Lee’s Blackbelt Academy. I am sure this event will be a
valuable experience for your child
and encourage attendance.
Deputy Haizel spoke with our 7th and 8th graders on
Tuesday as a follow up to his school law presentation. He
asked the group how many of them had inappropriate content on their smart phones and many hands went up. He
also stated that smart phones actually belong to parents
because you have to be at least 18 years of age in Wisconsin to own a phone (not to mention many parents pay
the monthly bill). I share this information as a reminder to
check your child’s device and monitor his/her social media
and internet activity. I told the middle school students that
the entire North Lake staff (especially me) cares about
each and every one of them and we want to help solve
any problems during their time at North Lake School. We
have a safe, nurturing environment and it is an appropriate
time to learn from our mistakes. Thank you, parents, for
being involved and contacting me when there is a concern.
Teamwork has been our year-long school theme. I appreciate and thank all of the teachers for everything they
do. I am very proud of our North Lake School family and
look forward to celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week
(with PBC and Mrs. Aicher’s help) beginning on Monday.
Finally, I want to also acknowledge our amazing office
staff and wish Ms. Rosine and Mrs. Romenesko a happy
administrative assistant week this week. It is nice to work
with such wonderful women.
Have a nice weekend,
A parent asked me to remind families about bike safety and
slowing down in our parking lot when kids are present. I
have also asked the Arrowhead Lacrosse Team who practice on our fields to take extra caution and slow down. Many
of our students bike to and from school as well as around
town. Let’s all work together to keep our children safe.
Thank you for paying attention and reporting to the office or
to me when this is not the case.
Liesl Ackley

It’s Spring, and everyone is thinking...

At North Lake School we “grow” readers. With an exceptional K-8 literacy program that
includes reading in all content areas and a comprehensive intervention support system we
prepare our students for high school and beyond with the skills and strategies to become
lifelong learners.
A “garden” filled with a variety of books gives students the opportunity to develop and practice
these literacy skills. In his book, I Can Read with my Eyes Shut, Dr. Seuss wrote, “the more
you read, the more you know…”
Two opportunities to expand your child’s access to books are at the Scholastic Book Fair and
the Town Hall Library.
Vicki Harvat and her literacy supporting volunteers will open the Scholastic Book Fair today.
It will be open at various time throughout the school day from April 29 to May 6.
The Town Hall Library provides our students with additional programs and materials. Stop by,
be sure to wish them a Happy 50th Birthday this weekend.
We truly appreciate the support of our school families and community. Thank you.
National Staff Appreciation Week
May 2nd-6th
Parents, please have your student honor a special teacher or staff member by sending a thank you
card, flower, or treat next week to school.
The PBC will celebrate all week with snacks in the conference room and lunch on Friday. We will
