Experience the Difference at South Lake Schools

Learn Today, Lead Tomorrow

 

Summer is here and we hope you and your students are enjoying the time away from a busy school schedule. While we appreciate the slower pace this time of year, we do miss our daily interactions with students and look forward to having full classrooms once again.

 

I may be biased as your Superintendent, but over my 28 years in this district I have seen first-hand that South Lake Schools is special. The teachers and staff, the students and the partnership with our families and community have helped to create an outstanding academic experience. Working together we have driven our mission of encouraging every learner to achieve their ultimate potential. Nothing makes me prouder.

 

This year we are taking additional steps to share our story throughout the region to make sure everyone knows about the South Lakes Schools difference. We want to ensure that we are no longer the best kept secret in St. Clair Shores.

 

The South Lake Schools Difference

 

Our teachers and staff are dedicated to providing an education of excellence while also uniquely supporting the social and emotional needs of every student so they are best prepared to succeed in today’s competitive environment.

 

  • Balanced classrooms provide learning opportunities that allow each student to thrive.
  • All buildings have an assigned social worker ensuring student mental and emotional health needs are met.
  • Literacy coaches help with reading competencies, giving elementary students a personalized helping hand when needed.
  • A school nurse is available to quickly address student health concerns.
  • Smaller class sizes give every child a chance to be seen and heard.
  • Transportation is provided to all with easy drop-off and pick-up.
  • Our facilities are modern buildings with updated technology and amenities.

 

Thank you for your continued support of our district. If you are so inclined, please feel free to help us spread the good news about the South Lake Schools difference. Together we are continuing the district legacy and ensuring our students are prepared and empowered to succeed today and well into the future. We look forward to seeing you and your students this Fall!
