When a school bus stops, stop too! Flashing red lights and the stop arm mean students are getting on or off the bus. Please slow down, pay attention, and never pass a stopped school bus.
A few extra seconds can make a huge difference in keeping our students safe.
Let’s all do our part to keep our Lancers safe!

School bus safety isn't just a bus driver's responsibility. It takes all of us.
Drivers, please slow down around school buses and be prepared to stop. Students, follow bus safety expectations and listen to your driver. Families, help remind your children about safe choices when waiting for and riding the bus.
Together, we can help make sure every student gets to school and home safely each day.

Exploring Careers. Building Futures!
Lakeshore students joined the county-wide CTE Pathways Event at Lake Michigan College this morning to explore career options, connect with professionals, and discover possibilities for their future!
Our Lakeshore CTE students also took the lead by hosting booths and providing hands-on learning experiences. Way to represent, Lancers!
Our Environmental Science students spent several hours exploring Grand Mere Dunes today! From identifying plant species to learning how dunes form and change over time through succession, students got a firsthand look at the ecosystems they’ve been studying.
And with a little fall weather thrown in, it was a pretty great day to take learning outside! The best part? Students will take the information they collected today back to the classroom to create their own Dunes Ecosystem Project.
Real-world learning, fresh air, and a little hands-on science. What a great way to learn!

It's National School Lunch Week! Did you know Lakeshore Public Schools serves an average of 1,975 lunches every day across our five buildings? That's a LOT of lunches!
So, what are some of our students' favorites?
Chicken & waffles
Spaghetti
Orange chicken
Pizza
Our students also enjoy fresh salads, hummus baskets, and fresh fruit every day. And breakfast for lunch? That made a comeback last year and has been a big hit!
A big thank-you to our food service team for all they do to keep our Lancers fed and ready to learn. We appreciate you!

Even though it was in the mid-80s yesterday, it’s still FALL — which means Lakeshore Public Schools’ Fall Wellness Challenge is in full swing! Last week, our theme was Move It & Groove It, and this week we’re shifting our focus to Mind Over Matter.

A BIG THANK YOU to our Lakeshore elementary families who came out for Title I Parent Night last night!
Our interventionists did a great job sharing simple, practical ways families can support reading at home using the Science of Reading. Lots of great information and ideas that families can put to use right away!
This is just another way we partner with our families to support our students and help them be as successful as possible.
Thank you for spending part of your evening with us and for being such an important part of the Lakeshore team!

Fire Safety Week at Lakeshore!
A big thank you to our local firefighters for spending time with our elementary students this morning! Our students learned some important fire safety tips, asked great questions, and even got to tour a fire truck.
We appreciate our fire department for taking the time to visit our schools and help our youngest Lancers learn how to stay safe!

Happy National Coaches Day!
At Lakeshore, our coaches know that sports are about so much more than the final score.
They teach hard work.
They teach resilience.
They teach teamwork, accountability and integrity.
They teach athletes how to handle failure, embrace adversity, keep showing up and believe in themselves.
And maybe most importantly, they teach lessons that will stick long after the final whistle.
We asked our coaches what they hope their athletes take with them beyond the game. Their answers said a lot about what it means to be a Lakeshore coach:
“Attitude comes before effort, effort comes before grit, and grit comes before winning — even in the dictionary.”
“Sports are ultimately a practice run for life.”
“Failure is unavoidable. How you pick yourself up after failure is what builds character.”
“Always do what’s right, especially when no one is looking.”
“Control what you can control: your effort, your attitude, and how you treat others.”
“Only one way to be great… hard work.”
“Work hard, train hard, but never forget to have fun.”
And perhaps one of the most important:
“When you feel like life is too challenging, I am a phone call away.”
To all of our Lakeshore coaches — thank you for showing up, putting in the work, believing in our kids and helping them become not just better athletes, but better people.

October is National Principals Month!
We’re taking a moment to celebrate the incredible principals who lead, support, encourage, and inspire our Lakeshore students and staff every day.
Our principals do so much more than run a school. They are in classrooms, in hallways, at events, solving problems, celebrating successes, supporting staff, connecting with families, and always keeping students at the center of what they do.
We are grateful for the time, energy, heart, and leadership they bring to OUR district every single day.
Help us give a big THANK YOU to our Lakeshore principals for all they do to make our schools great!
