Together, WE can kick off the new school year as one #WEareLakota family! 

For this year's all-staff convocation, doors open at 7:15 a.m. with the program beginning at 8:00 a.m. Stop by to catch up with your colleagues, get a light breakfast, sign this year's banners, celebrate anniversary milestones and hear from our new superintendent, Dr. Ashley Whitely.

Help commemorate this year's theme by completing the statement, "Together WE Can _____" through this ThoughtExchange. We would also love your song suggestions to help create some positive energy during convocation, so please provide music preferences via the song request form, which will close on August 9.

Additionally, we are giving back to our families by supporting our third annual Lakota staff food drive to support Reach Out Lakota and Faith Alliance in memory of Judy Buckenmyer.  There will be stations on Main Street at Lakota East High School to drop off food items.
