NEW ANNOUNCEMENTS

Lakewood families,

We appreciate your commitment to our students' well-being. We appreciate your commitment to safety and transparent communication.

We have some great news to share with you. We have recently been able to purchase additional cameras to enhance campus security and prevent unauthorized activity. These cameras will be installed very soon, along with signage, in order to help keep our campus safe and deter the recent increase in vandalism. 

As always, we encourage our Lakewood community to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity or visitors on campus to the police, especially after hours and on weekends. Your support and cooperation are crucial in maintaining a safe environment for our students.  

Thank you once again for your continued commitment in keeping our Lakewood students safe. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Lakewood Administration Team.
