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.

Best General Effect
What an amazing accomplishment for our students, directors, staff, and everyone who supports Lancer Band!

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!

Happy National School Custodian Day!
Today is a great day to recognize the people who work behind the scenes to keep our schools clean, safe, and ready for our students and staff each day.
Our custodians do so much more than clean classrooms. They fix things, help when something unexpected comes up, keep things moving, and take pride in taking care of our buildings.
We are so thankful for the work they do every day for Lakeshore. Thank you to our amazing custodians for all you do for our schools!
If you would like to join our team, please reach out to Jake Scott (jscott@lpslancer.net) or Ashaloen Morris (amorris@lpslancer.net) for more information.
Best of the Best is Back! Lakeshore Public Schools is bringing back our Best of the Best Awards for the fourth year!

Learning doesn’t always happen inside the classroom!
Ms. McNabnay’s Environmental Science students took their first field trip of the year to Hickory Creek, where they got hands-on experience examining aquatic life, water quality, and stream geology.
Place-based learning, real-world data collection, and a little time outdoors make for a great day of science!

A Little Rain Couldn’t Dampen Our First-Day Excitement!
The rain may have been falling outside, but inside our buildings, there was a buzz of excitement as students and staff kicked off a brand-new school year!
At Lakeshore High School, student helpers were stationed throughout the building, ready to greet classmates, answer questions, and help everyone find their way. What a wonderful example of our students looking out for one another!
Some of our elementary students got a lesson in indoor recess routines—because rainy days are part of the school experience, too!
Throughout the district, teachers were excited to welcome back familiar faces, reconnect with former students, and fill our hallways with smiles and energy once again.
There were new beginnings, familiar faces, a few “Where am I supposed to go?” moments, and plenty of excitement for the year ahead.
Day One is in the books, Lancers!

A productive afternoon at Lakeshore Public Schools! Our staff spent the afternoon in professional development focused on student progress and achievement. We’re ready to welcome our students back and kick off the 2026-27 school year on Monday, August 31!
This morning at our official district kickoff, we had the privilege of recognizing our longstanding employees for their years of service to Lakeshore Public Schools!
These dedicated staff members have given so much of their time, talent, and heart to our students and our district. We are incredibly grateful for their commitment and the difference they make every day.
Thanks to the generous support of the Lakeshore Excellence Foundation through the RAV Program, we were able to show our appreciation for these outstanding employees and celebrate their years of service.
Thank you for being part of the Lakeshore family and for all you do!
What a great kickoff to the 2026–2027 school year! Members of Lakeshore High School’s Student Voice organization joined us at this morning’s district-wide staff meeting and shared their thoughts and experiences with our staff.
It was a great opportunity to hear directly from our students and be reminded of the impact we have on them every day. The connections we make, the support we give, and the way we show up for our students truly matter. We’re so glad our students were part of the morning!
