Due to internet provider issues beyond our control, Lakeland phone systems are not working properly. We have also had to cancel ILEARN testing for the day. We hope that our provider is able to fix this soon! Sorry for the inconvenience!
We will begin Ilearn testing on Monday and will be testing during the next two weeks. Please help our students be prepared by making sure they get enough sleep, eat a breakfast (we offer free breakfast to everyone) each morning, and come with a positive attitude each day.
We will also be keeping devices here at school and making sure that they are charged in order to administer the test. It is important that each student tries their best on the test so that we can get an accurate assessment of the learning taking place at LIS. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
There is NOT a safety issue at Lakeland Intermediate School. We are aware that some students are reporting to their families that there is a problem. The issue has been investigated by our SRO and administration and there is no imminent danger. Lakeland families can check email for more details.
There's a new homebased daycare opening in LaGrange. Daycare is hard to come by, so we thought we'd share the flyer. Please call the number on the flyer if you have any questions.
