Attention households that use Acegroup email accounts!
You may not receive emails from the school district due to your email settings having the district email accounts "blacklisted."

This event seeks input from the La Crescent-Hokah Lancer community on what SKILLS and MINDSETS they feel that our students need to develop as the District prepares them for our ever-changing world.
It is critical to have voices and representation from as many sectors of our community as possible. We hope to gain insights from our tax-payers, families, business owners, employers, and citizens to learn what they want instilled in our students as we prepare them to be members of society.
This input will be used as the District works to create the "Profile of a Lancer" and that will guide the upcoming strategic planning process. The "Profile of a Lancer" will also be used to help inform changes to policies, procedures, and practices as needed.
The La Crescent-Hokah Choirs, along with the Apple Annies, are at Rotary Light tonight at 7!
