Attention households that use Acegroup email accounts! You may not receive emails from the school district due to your email settings having the district email accounts "blacklisted." What does this mean? When you log into your Acegroup email account on the computer, you will see underneath your folders the word "filters." If you go to the filters, you will see "whitelisted" and "blacklisted." The emails that the district send from may be in your "blacklisted" group. You must move the email to the "whitelisted" group. You may have to look through the pages to find the district email accounts. If you need assistance, please call your provider, AcenTek, at (507) 896-3192. The district uses two tools for communications. So, you may receive some communications but not all. An email was sent to parents and guardians yesterday from messenger@lacrescenthokahmn.mg.infinitecamp. The other email that we send from is noreply@isd300.k12.mn.us. For any questions or to ensure your notification preferences are set correctly, please contact the District Office at 507-895-5051.

Please join us as we work to create the "Profile of a Lancer"! Wednesday, December 14, 2022 6:00-7:30pm Secondary School Cafeteria This event seeks input from the La Crescent-Hokah Lancer community on what SKILLS and MINDSETS they feel that our students need to develop as the District prepares them for our ever-changing world. It is critical to have voices and representation from as many sectors of our community as possible. We hope to gain insights from our tax-payers, families, business owners, employers, and citizens to learn what they want instilled in our students as we prepare them to be members of society. This input will be used as the District works to create the "Profile of a Lancer" and that will guide the upcoming strategic planning process. The "Profile of a Lancer" will also be used to help inform changes to policies, procedures, and practices as needed.
