Lakota Local Schools is committed to listening to our parents, students, staff and community. The goal of Lakota Listens is to help our school community get answers and accurate information, as well as resolve problems in a caring, helpful and professional manner. If you don't feel your needs have been met after talking to a member of your' school staff, please use Lakota Listens to share your question or concern at the district level.
From Community Conversations and the superintendent's monthly "In the Loop with the Supe" to student fanfares and other community events, we welcome our community into our doors to get an inside look at what's happening in our schools.
At Lakota, social media is a powerful tool - both at the district level and in our schools - for keeping our community informed.

Lakota uses an online platform called ThoughtExchange to regularly engage our community by gathering input on different topics. The tool encourages participants to share their own thoughts by answering a single question and then rate others’ thoughts according to how strongly you agree. As a district, we use the results to gauge the most popular opinions and prioritize our work accordingly.
Lakota is committed to keeping the community informed about our schools through regular printed and electronic publications shared with our parents, staff, students, residents and businesses.
Catch up on the latest in Lakota's most recent district e-newsletter, Quality Profile, Financial Prospectus or community mailer.
E-Flyers, powered by a partnership with Peachjar, is Lakota’s convenient and eco-friendly way to distribute information about programs, classes, events and opportunities happening in our schools and around the community for the benefit of our students and their families.
