Lancer Families,

March is a busy and important month at Lakes High School. As we move deeper into the second semester, we encourage all students to stay focused on daily attendance, strong study habits, and consistent engagement in their classes. High school is a time when every credit counts toward graduation, post-secondary opportunities, and future career pathways. Please continue supporting your student in arriving on time and being prepared each day.

March is also Women’s History Month and Developmental Disability Awareness Month. At Lakes, we value leadership, collaboration, and character, and we are proud to be a school community that honors the strengths, contributions, and diverse experiences of all students and staff.

Upcoming High School Assessments

Please mark your calendars for the following important assessment dates:

STAMP (World Language Exam): March 2–6

ASVAB: March 12

SAT: March 17

See Janet De La Cruz in the Career Center for information about ASVAB and SAT registration and details.

SBA (Smarter Balanced Assessment – English): March 16–20 (during English classes)

These assessments provide important information about student readiness for college, career pathways, graduation requirements, and potential opportunities such as world language competency credits and post-secondary placement. We encourage students to get a good night’s rest, eat breakfast, and come prepared to do their best.

Thank you for your continued partnership in supporting our Lancers. Let’s make it a strong month of learning and growth.
