Lakewood Families,

Thank you for another great week at Lakewood! We are looking forward to next week's Parent Information Nights. This is a great opportunity for parents to get a better understanding of the focus and expectations for students in their new grade-level for this school year. Please make note of the times and locations for each grade-level. We are looking forward to seeing you here!
