As another step toward making ParentSquare Lakota’s singular school-to-home communication tool, the District is slowly introducing expanded features to Lakota parents and staff. 

A brief pilot involving four schools - Heritage Early Childhood School, Adena Elementary, Liberty Junior School and Lakota East High School (main campus only) - will allow for classroom-level communication as well as direct messaging between school staff and parents. The pilot will extend through the end of December, with the goal of rolling out the new features to all other schools in early second semester. 

Adena Elementary School’s Diane Meyer has made a significant shift in teaching. Now in her 32nd year of education, and 31st at Adena, Meyer has moved from math to social studies, bringing a fresh and engaging approach to her classroom. Having spent the last 15 years as the "Mayor of Meyer Mathland," she is embracing a new role as the "Mayor of Meyerville," where her students are learning valuable life skills around economics and personal finance.

In addition to the supplies provided by your school, students in grades K-8 are asked to provide a few additional items before the first day of school. Use TeacherLists, a free new resource, to easily find your list and even shop online for the best prices on all your back-to-school supplies, if desired. High school students will continue to receive supply lists from their teachers when school starts.

Beginning Monday, June 10, ParentSquare is replacing Lakota's current notification system for sending email, phone and text alerts to all Lakota families and staff. The new, more unified school-to-home communication tool was piloted by eight Lakota schools during the last month of the 2023-2024 school year. 

For parents and staff, no action will be required to continue receiving communications, but log into your account via OneLogin to customize your communications experience and get the most out of ParentSquare.
