News for September:

Please join us at the AIG Parent Information Night on Monday, September 1 at 6:00.

It will be a short meeting in which we will make sure you have the DPS Advanced Academics programming information, and you have the information as to how AIG looks at Lakewood. Your child’s Differentiated Education Plan has being sent home to you via your child, except if your child is currently in Math 1/2. Those DEPs will be available at the meeting on September 1.. If you do not attend that meeting, I will send them home via your child. Please sign the form and return it to the school.


Thanks for all you do.
