SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE
The school year has gotten off to a great start, and I
want to thank everyone – students, parents, staff and
administrators – for your efforts and preparation to
ensure a smooth first month. I especially want to
thank parents and staff at our transition schools for
your great cooperation in making sure our students
felt right at home in their new buildings.
Speaking of new buildings, our construction project
is moving forward, although much of the work is
not visible to you as a lot of the work includes
bidding and contract negotiations to prepare our
buildings for demolition. A second round of
architect meetings was held with the Grant, Lincoln
and Roosevelt communities. Those in attendance
were able to see the proposed footprints and interior
layouts of the new buildings as well as some
preliminary design drawings.
The architect meeting for Lakewood High School
will be held Tuesday, Oct. 7 at 6:30 pm in the L
Room.
I know many of you are interested in when the old
buildings will be coming down. That depends on
how long the abatement process takes at each
school, and it will vary at each building. Our best
guess is that demolition will not happen until
December at the earliest.
As always, we appreciate the support and
cooperation of our community as we look to provide
the best learning environment possible for our
students once our project is complete.

At the last round of elementary architect meetings the Grant, Lincoln and Roosevelt communities were
presented with preliminary design plans, some further along than others. Architect Rodwell King of
GPD Group will continue to revise plans taking the community’s input into consideration. Plans can be
viewed on our School Construction page.

minutes long. School starting and ending time will not be changed. This will eliminate the 12
extra-long minutes at the end of seventh period.

purchase calculators.
And this list doesn't even begin to address the National and State PTA organizations' child advocacy programs
and available information, resources and training.
What is a Painless Project??
IT’S A BAKE SALE…..without the baking! IT’S A CARNIVAL…..without the planning!

And by which all parents can support PTA activities benefiting their students!
So please take a minute to donate the cost of a cake and frosting, or the price of a paperback book, and send in
your Painless Project donation today, along with your PTA dues to LHS, with your student, or mail it to:
