Hello Lancer Families,

I hope this message finds you well as we move into a busy and exciting October at Lakes High School. We have a few important updates to share with you regarding the Impact Aid Survey, our new ParentSquare communication platform, and upcoming school events.

Impact Aid Survey

The 2025-26 federally required Impact Aid annual surveys will be sent to families through email on Tuesday, Oct. 1, with a link to the survey for each student. Please complete the survey by Friday, Oct. 31.

These surveys are confidential, and your participation is essential for Clover Park School District students and staff. Completing the survey helps our district receive federal Impact Aid funding, which directly supports our schools by providing teachers, support staff, classroom computers, library books, and other vital supplies and equipment.

Thank you for helping us continue to provide the best education possible for our Lancers.

ParentSquare Launch

We are excited to announce that Clover Park School District is now using ParentSquare, a new communication platform designed to improve how families stay connected with our schools.

ParentSquare allows families to receive school and district updates all in one convenient place through the ParentSquare app or website. You will continue to receive phone calls, emails, and texts, but now you can also access all your notifications, event reminders, and school alerts in one central hub.

We encourage all families to download the ParentSquare app and explore its features to stay informed and engaged with all that’s happening at Lakes High School.
