Laker Nation: we have had a switch malfunction which has taken our network down. This means phones are not working, along with many other items. We hope to have it fixed by the morning, but can't be sure of that at this point. We may be teaching a little bit "old school" tomorrow!
It was great to have our buildings full of life again!
Morning drop off saw more traffic than ever, which caused some issues at the 4 way stop by Jr/Sr. We've asked for officer assistance there tomorrow to help it run better. Dismissal ran later than we wanted, but not as late as last year! Both morning an afternoon processes will get better as we go along.
We're looking forward to a great year! Thank you for being a Laker!
Laker Nation is sad to learn of the passing of Mr. Ben Helmuth. Mr. Helmuth spent 32 years at Lakeland taking care of our buildings and grounds. He is remembered as a very kind man with high standards. Our condolences go out to his family!

Our hearts go out to the family of Mr. Paul Johnston as they struggle with the loss of a very loved man. Mr. Johnston served as an assistant principal at Lakeland High School and as principal at Parkside Elementary. He also spent some time this past school year volunteering at Lakeland Primary. The staff remember him as a compassionate leader, who was tough because he cared. He will be missed by Laker Nation!
