NEW ANNOUNCEMENTS
Family Input Form for the 2024-2025 School Year Class Assignments

  • As we begin the process of looking ahead to creating well balanced classes for the 2024-2025 school year, we would like to streamline input provided by families through this form. Please know that we are not able to take specific teacher requests. 

  • As we work through this process, we keep our Lakewood Vision at the forefront: We are a community of leaders, valued individuals and problem solvers, who advocate for all. Note this will be viewed and analyzed by the current Lakewood Staff . We ask that you refrain from any disparaging comments and remain focused on your student's needs.

  • This form will close at noon on Friday, March 8, 2024.

Register for Camp Lakewood!

Hey Lakewood Dads, WE NEED YOUR HELP! Our Camp Lakewood Spring 24 event next weekend (Feb 23-25) has had a low turnout so far and we are in jeopardy of having to cancel the event. If you were waiting to register, please sign up by Sunday at 5pm. That is when we will be able to determine if the campout is viable. We know it is a busy time of year but we are hopeful we can get a few more dads/kids signed up to make it a great weekend. If you are currently registered, please reach out to your groups and encourage them to join us. Thanks!

Registration info:

FOL’s Camp Lakewood Spring 2024 takes us out to the astonishing cool Grady Spruce campground! We take over the camp for a weekend and enjoy the cabins that rest along the shores of Possum Kingdom Lake. Take a short boat ride over to Hells Gate and hike to the top or enjoy a slow horseback ride or even a zoom down a zip line! It’s going to be an amazing weekend.   http://www.foldallas.org/CampLakewood
