New Rotation Starting Monday

We all made it through the first rotation of the new PE/Health classes.  Starting on Monday, September 17th, we will move into our second rotation.  Mr. Dvorak's class will now move to Ms. Nyhlen's class for PE.  Ms. Nyhlen's class will move to Ms. Stankiewicz for Health, and Ms. Stankiewiczs' class will move to Mr. Dvorak for PE.  So, if you are going to Health class, you do not need your PE uniform for the next two weeks, however, you do need a folder or binder for Health class.  If you are moving to Dvorak or Nyhlen, you still need your uniform on Monday.

Fall Sports Pictures will be held on Friday, September 21st.  All Fall athletes should have received a picture form on Friday at practice.  Please make sure you fill this out and return it to your coach during the week, or bring it on Friday the 21st for pictures.

Best of luck to the cross country teams as they will be running at the Troy meet this Saturday, September 15th.  Go Spartans!

Have a great weekend!

Welcome Back Spartans!

Welcome back to the 2012-2013 school year!  We all made it through the first week of school and I want to thank all of the students for demonstrating such great behavior the first week.  I would also like to congratulate all of our 6th grade students for making the transition from Prairieview to Lakeview! 

In PE classes, all of my 6th grade students have done an amazing job learning their new locker combinations and how to open their PE lockers.  This 6th grade class has been the first to have the locker room procedures down pat in one week.  Keep up the great work!


All 6th, 7th and 8th grade students completed the Fall Fitness Testing this first week (6th grade-no mile run) of classes.  Starting on Tuesday, we will begin the rotation of PE/Health every two weeks.  To clarify this for anyone that is still confused........if you have Nyhlen on your schedule for PE/Health, you will start with Ms. Nyhlen for two weeks of PE.  If you have Dvorak, you will start with Mr. Dvorak for two weeks of PE.  If you have Conley, you will start with Ms. Stankiewicz (Mrs. Conley's maternity leave sub), for two weeks of Health.  The rotation will then go:  Nyhlen to Stankiewicz, Stankiewicz to Dvorak, Dvorak to Nyhlen and REPEAT every two weeks from there.  


Please contact any of us if you have questions about the new rotation.  This is a new schedule for all of us (students and teachers), but I'm positive everyone will understand it after a full rotation between all three classes.


ATHLETICS:  Thank you to all of the girls that came out for JV and Varsity Volleyball tryouts.  It was an extremely difficult tryout, with about 50-55 girls trying out this season.  It is the most difficult part for me as a coach, because each girl that I evaluated showed such positive attitude and potential.  Unfortunately, we can only have a certain amount of girls on each team per season.  I would like to congratulate those girls that made JV and Varsity volleyball this season.  


Cross country practices started on Wednesday with a very large group of students coming out for the first practice of the season.  Best of luck Spartan runners!


Football tryouts also took place last Thursday and Friday.  I know Mr. Dvorak will have a great group of players this season and I'm looking forward to watching the Spartans play!


Football cheerleading tryouts will be held this upcoming week, with a cheer clinic on Tuesday, Spet. 4th and tryouts on Wednesday, Sept. 5th.  Best of luck to all the girls!
