Lakeland School Corporation will have an asynchronous e-learning day Tuesday, January 23, 2024! Lessons will be posted in Schoology by 10 AM. Asynchronous means students will NOT have live meetings. Stay safe out there Lakers!
An incident involving a car backfiring was called in to law enforcement as shots fired at Jr/Sr High. Law enforcement responded quickly, and were at their highest level of alert as they investigated. Safety protocols were followed. Students were not in danger. Again, we thank our local law enforcement for their quick action to keep Lakers safe!
LaGrange County Emergency Management has notified me that the Winter Weather Advisory will now start at 4pm. In order to keep our Lakers safe, we are cancelling all after school activities for this afternoon. We would like to get all of our students and staff home before travel gets too messy. This weather front is scheduled to bring us freezing rain, resulting in a quarter inch of ice. This could cause power issues in our community, along with hazardous travel. Stay Safe Lakers!
Please congratulate our DECA District winners:
Briana Poe--1st Place, Sports & Entertainment Marketing
Zulema Nieves-Carmona--3rd Place, Retail Merchandising
Reese Bordner--5th Place, Food Marketing
They will represent Lakeland at state in March alongside our Entrepreneurship students and their business plans.

Due to slick conditions, Lakeland School Corporation is on a 2 hour delay today 1-18-24. This will give our drivers, both bus & young drivers, some daylight to help navigate the icy roads. I know this is an inconvenience, but I would rather be safe than sorry!

There is some snow expected tonight, and temperatures will be below zero tomorrow morning.
