The Lakota High School’s Student Council will be hosting a parade on Sunday, May, 31 for the graduating 2020 seniors in honor of their accomplishments. The parade will start at the school following the graduation ceremony and go  to Bradner, Risingsun, Kansas, and Burgoon. For further directions go to https://drive.google.com/open?id=1UALi-7O6BOmwk2W6UbfPXBJMydJ-eIhe&usp=sharing

Note to Seniors:  Feel free to decorate your cars prior to the parade. We will be providing window paint for you to quickly decorate your car before we begin. You can drive yourself or have a parent drive so you can wave to people along the parade route. We would love for families to stand outside with posters to congratulate the graduating class when they pass by!

Dear Lakota Families,

The Lakota Local Schools are excited to announce our 1-1 technology initiative for the 2020-2021 school year.  Each student grades 5-12 who is taking classes in the building, will receive a laptop computer to use at school and at home.  In addition, grades 1-4 will have a chromebook cart assigned to each classroom for use during the school day.  The funding the district received from the Federal Government CARES Act is being used to purchase the additional laptop computers needed to go 1-1 for the next school year.  More details regarding the technology will be shared at the beginning of the next school year.

As you know, there are many uncertainties regarding how the next school year will look.  As we plan for next year, your input is very important.  Please complete the following survey to share your feelings and concerns:

Sincerely,

Chad Coffman, Superintendent

Dear Parents/Guardians:

Unfortunately, due to the restrictions put in place by the Governor of Ohio, we will need to cancel our April 2nd and April 3rd Kindergarten Screenings. Since we are uncertain as to when we will be able to return to school, new screening dates have not been set at this time. We will contact families as soon as we reschedule in order to proceed with the registration process. Should you have any questions or concerns, you are welcome to contact me at 419-986-6640, Ext. 5102 or by email at dward@lakotaschools.org.

Sincerely, 

Dana Ward, Elementary Principal

Dear Parents/Guardians of Lakota Local Schools,

We believe it is important to communicate with our families.  One way we do that is with our instant message system. We are using a company called School Messenger.

The phone numbers and emails that will be used initially are the contacts listed in our student information system.  If you would like to be able to change how you are contacted please contact your child’s school office.
