The third graders enjoyed a book tasting last week! A book tasting is an event where students "taste" or sample a selection of books. They are a fun way to encourage students to explore different genres and authors. Yum!

Tomorrow, Tuesday, August 22nd is the first day of school for the new year. We can't wait to see our Viking students again!

Elementary Open House - Monday, August 21st Preschool and Kindergarten: 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm 1st through 4th grade: 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm 5th and 6th grade: 5:45 pm to 7:00 pm This allows students to meet their new teacher and drop off school supplies. There will be a verification sheet to confirm that your information is correct for returning students. Also, please check with your child's teacher to make sure that bus information is correct before you leave. Mr. Keith will be in the office to make any bus changes as necessary. The nurse will also be in the office if you have medications to drop off. Just a reminder: morning drop off is 7:45. Please do not drop off students before 7:45 when school starts. This is when the first bus unloads also. We are looking forward to the school year and to seeing you Monday evening!

Lakeland R-III Parents and Guardians, There have been many misleading rumors going around due to a juvenile runaway issue. At no time was a threat made toward the school, or any person at the school. Out of an abundance of caution the school resource officer was onsite all day and we chose not to have outdoor recess. The school was not on lockdown at any time during the day. The juvenile was taken into custody today and is safe. We are aware of parent’s concerns and will do our best to communicate with you in the future. If there is a crisis or a lockdown situation, you will be alerted through our notification system by phone, text, or email. Mitch Towne Superintendent Lakeland R-III School District
