Literacy is a component of every lesson or activity presented during the school day. Lakeland offers a number of other opportunities for student involvement. After school, students can participate in our track program. In addition to vocal music instruction, displayed at evening concerts, students can join a lunchtime choir, or play in the Orff Ensemble. Many more programs are listed below.
Technology plays a role in student learning at Lakeland.
In addition to our 75 networked computers, we have purchased nearly 100 laptop devices to supplement the writing process. Technology is available in each classroom as well as in our 15-station computer grouping in our newly remodeled library. Student projects include publishing, research and presentations to video editing. Student safety is a primary concern of Lakeland Elementary and the Federal Way Public Schools. Students are introduced to school expectations at the beginning of each year along with helping to develop and understand classroom rules and behavior norms.
