The Lake Elementary Learning Community will guide each and every child to reach his or
her potential. Based on ongoing assessments, we will provide strategic interventions and
enrichment to meet or exceed Ohio Academic Standards ensuring the success of all learners!
Dear Families,
We have a busy month of testing in third, fourth, and fifth grade since we returned
from spring break. I want to recognize the students for their hard work and effort
on the state assessments. We also appreciate the continued teacher and parent support of our students. We will conclude our testing next week with fifth grade science
on Monday and Tuesday and fourth grade social studies Wednesday and Thursday.
This week is our last PTA Book Fair and it’s a school favorite since it is also our Buy
One Get One Book Fair. The first and second grade students will also participate in
the Kids Love Musicals event on Thursday and Friday of this week. Remember to
participate in our Community Clean-up day on Saturday from 10:00-12:00 at Mentor on the Lake City Hall.
The students and teachers are excited for several end of the year field trips, including:
May 4- Grade 2 Pioneer School Field Trip 9:15-1:45
May 11- Grade 5 Shore Visit 9:30-11:30
May 16- Grade 3 (Burger & Simeon) Lake Metroparks Field Trip 9:15-12:30
May 20- Grade 5 Art Museum Field Trip 9:15-2:00
May 23- Grade 3 (Moniot) Lake Metroparks Field Trip 9:15-12:30
Have a great week!

Placement of Students in Classes
Each year questions arise regarding the placement of children in classes. Placement is based on the following rationale:
Male/female distribution
Talent and ability levels. We seek to have an equal distribution within each class.
Social/emotional considerations. Children who do and do not work well with each other.
Equal distribution of students from sending teachers to ensure that each child is acquainted through the years with all students. Other
validated psychological/emotional considerations. Teacher and psychologist input.
As you may note, parent information as it pertains to the needs of their children may be a part of this placement. It is the intent of the Mentor School System to take into account all factors in educational needs when making placements. Specific teacher requests are not always able to be honored due to the needs of the grade level as a whole. Please remember that occasionally there is a
need to make last-minute changes to accommodate a new enrollment or change of an enrollment. As a result, assignments are given
with the understanding that in some cases a change may be necessitated prior to the beginning of school.
Any requests should be made in writing and returned to Mrs. Poremba by April 29, 2016
OPEN ENROLLMENT MATRIX 2016-2017
Applications for the Open Enrollment may be picked up at any of our school offices or at the Mentor Board of Education and will be accepted from May 1 through May 15, 2016. Interested parents should complete one application for
each student and return it to the Student Services Office at the Mentor Board of Education, 6451 Center Street during
the enrollment period. Parents should only submit an application where a grade level vacancy is indicated. It is important for parents to understand that making application for Intra-District Open Enrollment does
not guarantee placement. Transportation to and from the non-home school is the responsibility of
the parent.
