LMASD Newsletter
September 1, 2020
Dear LMASD Families
In order to keep you apprised of things at the district level, my goal is to send you a monthly newsletter. If there are topics you would like me to add to the newsletter, please let me know. If you have specific questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at any time.
We can't wait to see your children next week, both in-person and virtually! If you'd like to share your "first day of school" pictures with us, we will share them on our social media pages. Please send them to social.account@lakemills.k12.wi.us
Sincerely,
Tonya Olson
