DISTRICT ANNOUNCEMENTS

March 2026
 
Dear Lackawanna Trail Community,
 
Spring has nearly sprung, and in a few weeks we will conclude the third marking period.  It has been a wonderfully successful academic year so far, and I’m optimistic about moving forward.  Thank you so much to all of our stakeholders who collectively help give our students a well balanced education.  Our academic, athletic, performing art, and extra-curricular programs are among the best in the area. Our students are fortunate to be so well supported in our educational community.
 
Although we are in the month of March, the possibility of inclement weather canceling school still exists.  Please check our Facebook page regularly, as well as REMIND notifications for timely updates.
 
Involvement in our school as community members is fundamental to our success.  Therefore, I encourage everyone to attend School Board Meetings, Committee meetings, and other public events to learn more about what makes Lackawanna Trail tick, and participate publicly when opportunities arise.
 
There are so many encouraging areas to highlight at Trail but I want to draw your attention to just a few.  Our Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) program has been well established in the elementary center, and is being methodically rolled out at the high school.  The benefits of this program are limitless.  Also, K-12 we have been making steady progress toward the objectives and action steps prescribed in our Comprehensive Plan, led by Mrs. Shannon Kuchak, our Director of Curriculum and Federal Programming. With so much to celebrate at Lackawanna Trail, aren’t you proud to be a lion?
 
 
Sincerely,
 
 
Matthew Rakauskas
Superintendent
Lackawanna Trail School District
The Lackawanna Trail School District is conducting School Climate Surveys over the next two weeks. Individual links with corresponding surveys will be shared with students, staff, parents, and community members during this time. There are separate surveys for the Elementary and Jr./Sr. High School Buildings.
 
Parents and Community Members can complete the survey using the links below. Please be sure to complete the survey that most closely aligns with your role as a parent or community member in those buildings.
 
All responses are completely voluntary and anonymously recorded.
Thank you for partnering with our district in this important initiative. The surveys are fairly short but the results will be used to inform our work making the district the best it can be.
