Students will be receiving an upgraded iPad at the beginning of the 2023-24 school year to support their learning. Lakeville Area Schools is offering a new optional device protection plan for district-issued iPads as part of our 1:1 student learning initiative.

• Annual Cost: $25 per student. Reduced price options are available based on Educational Benefit Status.
• Coverage begins upon receipt of the payment. Payment must be submitted via the Infinite Campus School Store by October 1, to have coverage for the school year. New families joining the district will have 2 weeks from enrollment to add coverage.
• The protection plan does not cover lost devices and lost, stolen, damaged or inoperable charging cords.
• Please review the details of the device protection plan and payment information on the District’s Digital Learning webpage.

Take a look at our Back-to-School webpage to get a head start on important forms that need to be completed annually, reminders and changes for the upcoming year, and a list of accounts and apps to help you stay informed and organized.

Lakeville North High School teachers participated in an "Amazing Race" themed kick-off where they were employees for a day at local Lakeville businesses. Students often ask their teachers why the material they are learning matters. This activity helped teachers find answers to those questions by connecting the skills and qualities they teach to what employers are needing/looking for in employees. Before the teams took off for the day, the Mayor and city officials shared a few words.

Lakeville North High School Principal Kim Budde partnered with local businesses in Lakeville, city administration and the Lakeville Chamber of Commerce to create this fun training.

Last week Lakeville Area Schools had the annual Ready, Set, Achieve event. Shoutout to everyone who donated funds, supplies and time to make this event happen! More than 780 students received school supplies and backpacks needed to start their year strong. We could not do it without the help of our community. Thank you also to all the students and families who were able to come and make the day so fun!
