Behind the long line-up of projects in a new junior school math elective is a whole lot of geometry, algebra, probability, and other grade-level math concepts. “There isn’t always time to apply concepts in a core math class,” said Hopewell Junior School's "Next Generation Stats" teacher Joseph Bobinger. “This class makes them look at math differently and see how much it is around them all the time.”

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.
