It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood! day was a great way to start the day. Thanks to the team of “drivers” (staff, parents and volunteers) that helped us navigate the rest of our route together! Thanks too, to the City of Waverly, Minnesota, for sharing your space for a safe gathering spot this morning!

Yesterday was Get Up and Go, and it sure got up and went! 🤣 Pictures haven’t surfaced yet but there was no doubt we were definitely comfy at school.

Today’s homecoming theme at the elementary schools was Camo and Neon. Some chose to stand out, and others found ways to blend in. Check out some of our K friends! 💙💛

🚨Our first formal student recognitions of the 2026-27 school year is here! 🚨
Congrats to Humphrey’s student of the month honorees, recognized for the trait of RESPECT, our theme for September! Kind, polite, helpful and responsible are all pieces of respectful behavior that have been witnessed in action by our K-1-2 students… for themselves, for others, and all around the school. Way to go Laker students!🙌🏼💙💛

Whose smiles are bigger today? It’s tough to tell, but one thing’s for certain—it was a great start to the 2026-27 school year. Day 1 complete!

Representing some of our youngest Lakers today are from Ms Ready’s class. And our k teachers too… thanks for your energy, excitement and welcoming smiles. It made some of those first day jitters a whole lot better. 💙

Bring on day two on Tuesday!!

📣 Elementary Families—A Few Important Reminders for This Week!

We’re excited to welcome our K–4 families for Laker Launch/Welcome Days tomorrow and Wednesday! We can’t wait to meet you, learn more about your child, and kick off a great 2026–27 school year together. 💙💛

Here’s the important schedule reminder:

📚 Tuesday, Sept. 1 & Wednesday, Sept. 2
➡️ Grades 5–9 (Sept 1), and Grades 5-12 (Sept 2) ARE in school!
➡️ K–4 students attend only for their scheduled Laker Launch/Welcome Day appointment.

🎉 Thursday, Sept. 3
➡️ FIRST FULL DAY OF SCHOOL for K–4!
➡️ This is the first day of the 2026–27 school year for our elementary students.

A few other things to look for during Welcome Days:

📖 BOOKS, BOOKS, BOOKS!
We have lots of great books that no longer fit our classrooms due to building/grade consolidation, our new reading curriculum, and library updates. Families are welcome to “shop” the books in the lunchroom/commons area of each building. Take one, take 20! A free-will donation is appreciated but not required. We simply want to keep sharing these resources with our families.

👕 Laker PTA Apparel Sale
The PTA Laker apparel sale is underway, with an order deadline of September 11. Get your Laker gear before Homecoming in October while supporting the PTA and the students and classrooms of HLWW!
