7:45 AM - 1:30 PM
Hello Lakota Families,
Lakota staff spent all week meeting together remotely to prepare for our launch to the school year. Teachers are so eager to meet their scholars in virtual classes that they are literally “zooming” up and down. Don’t forget about Orientation Pick Up September 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. On your designated day, your child's schedule will be accessible in StsudentVUE and ParentVUE. Remember that each scholar takes English and Math all year with semester rotations of Science, Social Studies, Health/Fitness, and an elective class.
We have come up with common school-wide expectations around scholar learning at Lakota. Please review these with your child in preparation for the school year. Teachers will be teaching and reteaching these expected behaviors to ensure that we foster a safe, rigorous, and productive learning environment. We have also created school-wide expectations for staff and are looking to get your feedback at our first family zoom on Thursday, September 17th at 6pm! You can view the school-wide expectations on our website @ Lakota Middle School.
We cannot wait to see familiar and new faces in the coming days.
Falcons are rising above over here at Lakota.

School Supplies Update
Due to supply chain issues, some of the items in our school supply kits are not yet available. We are postponing the school supply kit pick up to coincide with one of the meal pick up days in September. If you have purchased a supply kit, you will be notified as soon as they are ready for pick up.
We will have basic supplies, paper, pencils and pens to distribute during Back to School Pick Up. See above for schedule.
If you wish to purchase your own supplies follow the link to Find school supply list.
