Last week we held Community Update Meetings at Lakeland High School and Timberlake Junior High School to update parents on the current state of our district and explain next steps in planning for this coming fall. If you missed these community meetings, you can check out the recording below along with the presentation.
As we head into July, the District team has been working daily to plan for how the beginning of the school year will look. Guidance from the state level is expected to be released to districts in the coming week. The District will be sending out a questionnaire to all parents next week to ensure you have ample opportunity to share your input and unique perspectives. Using the official guidance from the State, along with parent input, our local Board of Trustees will work to finalize a comprehensive plan for our students to return to school. As this plan forms, we will keep parents informed on a regular basis. Thank you for your continued support – have a very fun and family-oriented 4th of July as we celebrate the birth of our great nation! Thanks, Dr. Meyer, Superintendent

This has been a year like no other and we are so proud of our district families, students and staff for the incredible work you have put in during the extended school closure. Remote distance learning was both challenging and rewarding as the entire district persevered to the end. Thank you for all of the continued support and encouragement along the way. Although it was not perfect, we certainly want to acknowledge and focus on all of the positives that have come out of this unprecedented time. We want to wish our Lakeland graduates the very best in their future endeavors. They have made us so proud. To our students returning in the Fall, we wish you a Happy Summer Vacation! Much Gratitude for your support, Dr. Meyer, Superintendent
