Family feedback is an important part of helping us improve and provide the best possible education for all students.

We invite you to take a brief survey and share your thoughts about your child's school experience. The survey takes approximately 8-10 minutes to complete and is open through Oct. 30, 2026.

On Thursday, October 15, at 10:15 a.m., all Lakewood schools will participate in the Great Washington ShakeOut Earthquake Drill as part of our ongoing commitment to emergency preparedness.

This annual drill gives students and staff the opportunity to practice how to respond during an earthquake, strengthen our emergency response procedures, and reinforce the skills needed to keep everyone safe during an emergency.

What would happen if there were no rules? That was the question special guest and local attorney Stacy DeMass posed to Toni Krischano’s third graders at Lakewood Elementary as they learned about Constitution and Citizenship Day.

Students broke into two groups and played a game with koosh balls, but the rules kept changing. Sometimes students had to close their eyes while they passed the koosh ball. Other times they had to pass the koosh over their heads. Students experienced firsthand how confusing and frustrating it can be when rules constantly change or aren't the same for everyone. After creating their own set of agreed-upon rules, students discovered that the game was more fun when everyone followed the same expectations.

Congratulations to our Homecoming Royalty! Royalty nominations recognize students who are kind, positive, inclusive, and actively promote Cougar pride. This year's royalty included freshmen John and Ebrima, sophomores Brennan and Yesenia, juniors Johnny and Anthony, seniors Karly and Chris, and our 2026 monarchs, Rubi and Evan.

American Sign Language students signed the National Anthem and halftime brought some Disney magic to the field. The Cheer Team kept the crowd energized with impressive stunts and school spirit. See more photos on our Facebook page.

Looking for a meaningful way to support students and help keep our school community safe? Lakewood School District is hiring dedicated individuals to serve as crossing guards.

One of the great things about this opportunity is the flexibility to work an AM shift, PM shift, or both, depending on your availability and the needs of the district.
