Dear Lakewood High School Families:

Welcome to the 20211/2022 school year! We are excited for the return of students this fall and we have many activities in store prior to school starting. I want you to know that this is not my official welcome letter, but rather information for you and your student to get organized and involved as the year gets closer.

School Calendars

Please visit our website for the most updated school and district calendars. The first day of school for all students is August 18^th. 9th Grade students will have orientation on the 17^th. Please see below for more details.

Bell Schedule

Thankfully, our daily bell schedule is substantially different from last year’s abbreviated daily schedule and can be found on the website or by clicking LHS Bell Schedule. Our school day will begin most days at 8am. We will have late starts beginning at 8:30am on Wednesday (for staff meetings and professional development) and Thursday (for student support time). The school day ends at 3:17pm each day.
