Dear Stallion Families, 

Today is our 100th day of school! It’s a special milestone, and we are excited to celebrate all the learning, growth, and hard work our students have accomplished so far. Seeing their enthusiasm and creativity today makes this moment even more meaningful!

We also want to express our gratitude for the supportive environment you help create for all our students. Your involvement—whether through volunteering, attending events, or supporting from home—truly makes a difference.

Finally, thank you for the great conversations during parent conferences this week. It was wonderful to connect and collaborate to support our students’ success. Your partnership is invaluable, and we appreciate all you do.

Thank you for being a part of our Lakewood team—we are truly One Team, One Dream!

Stallion Strong,

Principal Thompson

Cold Weather, Carpool Lines, and Tardy Slips oh my!

A friendly reminder to allow yourselves a little extra time for carpool on these chilly mornings!  A few less Stallions are walking to school in these frigid temps, so the carpool lines are longer and take more time.  


School begins at 8:00 am and tardy slips are issued at 8:05 am.
