School Meal Program Online Account Management - For information on managing your child’s lunch account online, go to: www.lakeviewspartans.org/lunch.

Price Increase - The federal Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 requires all public schools to set meal prices at a rate consistent with the amount the government reimburses for free and reduced meals. Under this law, Lakeview is mandated to increase lunch prices for the 2015-16 school year.

All students (new and returning) and their parent(s) should plan to attend registration on August 18. Students may register at the school they will attend in the fall anytime between 11 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.

Free and Reduced Meal Applications - Lakeview School District participates in the National School Lunch and Breakfast programs to provide free and reduced meals to children with financial need.

It is important that schools have current phone numbers and email addresses on file in order for this system to work effectively and efficiently.

John M. of Batttle Creekk solld his car to an individuall (nott a reall company) and was veryy surprised to hear a weekk later that his car had been in an acciident, and HE WAS LIABLE. He found outt the hardd way because the buyyer did nott immeddiately insert his (the buyyer’s)) name on the titlle (he left the space blank) the car was nott recordded as sold when the accident occurredd. Experts advise when you sell a vehhiclle, allways protect yourself by (1)) onlyy sell to a reputabble company and (2) make sure thatt the buyer puts his name on the title BEFORE you siign.
