District Notification System: Emergency Communication Testing
Emergency TEST messages to be launched on May 1.
Effective next month, a new district notification system will be used to launch outreach, attendance and emergency messages. Lake Park High School made this critical decision to contract with a new vendor following a failure to deliver emergency messages to some families in February 2018.
Blackboard, an industry leader in K-12 communication solutions, currently provides service for the
district website and will now provide comprehensive support for additional communication channels.
In preparation for this end-of-year move to Blackboard, Lake Park will conduct an emergency communication TEST of the district notification system on Tuesday, May 1 at 6:30 p.m. Families should expect to receive TEST communication in the form of phone calls, text messaging and email to the current numbers and addresses on file. The TEST of the system does not require any action.
Please review and make any updates to your contact information in the Home Access Center (HAC) prior to May 1, so that you may continue to receive district communication via the automated notification system.

Congratulations to 19 members of the Lake Park Math Team for qualifying for the Illinois Council of Teachers of Mathematics (ICTM) State math competition in May! Mathletes who will compete in Champaign at the University of Illinois include the Algebra 1 team, Pre-Calculus team, Junior-Senior 8-person team, and Calculator team. The Math Team is coached by Clint Anticevich, Ashley Castellanos, Beth Olinski, Christian Pawlak and Candice Sagliano.
Congratulations to Lake Park's Rube Goldberg team who have earned three consecutive State Champion titles! Founded in the 2015-16 school year by physics teacher James Kryger, the student team has logged hundreds of hours to construct a Rube Goldberg machine for competition. The 75-step machine is a complicated contraption that accomplishes a simple task in the most complex way possible. The design showcases a pirate theme that aides in the process of the final required step: pouring a bowl of cereal.
The Lancer team will represent Illinois and compete in National competition this weekend at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry.
Best wishes to 17 East Campus and West Campus DECA students who will represent Lake Park and compete in the Illinois Career Development International Conference hosted this weekend in Atlanta. The students earned this opportunity having placed in the Top 3 in their respective categories during the DECA State competition. The DECA sponsors are Brittany Simpson and Patryk Pliszka.
