It's happening. Naviance is our College and Career suite of services to help our students research colleges, apply online to college, research careers, complete a resume, search for scholarships, you name it. Parents have access too! (Parent accounts are View, Not Do in nature, meaning you cannot alter your student's information).

Are you experiencing Technology Issues?

LHS Tech Team will be available again next Monday (see details below) at the Middle School.

---------------------------------
On Monday April 20th the LHS Tech Team will be available at Lakewood Middle School from 10AM to 2PM to provide basic LHS Chromebook maintenance and support. Loaner devices may be distributed based on the severity of the problem.

To be eligible to receive this service, a support ticket must be submitted by Saturday April 18th and you must bring your Chromebook and charger with you.

To generate a support ticket send an email from your Lakewood Google account to lancertech@lakewoodlocal.k12.oh.us. The email Subject line should include your first and last name and Chromebook number. Then use the Body of the email to provide a description of the issue.

“The Chromebook and accessories you may receive are LOANERS. They remain the property of Lakewood Local SD. You are expected to return all loaners in the same condition as they were when provided to you. Any loss or damage to equipment loaned to you will result in a ‘fee’ assessed to your student record. Contact the Tech Team at lancertech@lakewoodlocal.k12.oh.us if you require assistance.

The Chromebook and any accessories are to be turned in on upon request of Lakewood Local SD.”
