Student Services

Mission

By advocating for ALL students, the Student Services Center at Lakeview Middle School strives to create positive and impacting relationships with students. In partnership with parents, teachers, and students, we will explore each child’s academic, personal/social, and career development. We will do our best to acknowledge, validate, and support each child to achieve his/her goals.

Vision

The Lakeview Student Services Center values each and every student. It is our intention to convey to each student that WE CARE and THEY MATTER.
