Tracking your Students Progress in PowerSchool...The easy way!
If you haven't already done this, it is highly recommended....it's never been this easy to see your student's progress!
- Mobile App: Open the relevant app store on your device, search for "PowerSchool," and then download the free "PowerSchool App." Use the code LNMT to link to the LSSU database, and enter the login credentials you were provided with by the district. Navigate between different views from a menu on the bottom of the screen. If you have more than one child, switch between their information by clicking on another name in the top right corner.
PA Nordic Ski Team is officially on the PA trails! ❄️
Huge shout out to our coaches & PA grooming staff for getting the trails ready.
A quick reminder as our community enjoys the PA trail network:
• Trails are for skiing & snowshoeing only.
• Snowshoers, please stay to one side.
• Walking, running, and dogs leave deep post holes that can be hazardous.
• If you must cross a trail, do it in a single file.
• After-school skiers: please avoid large groups during team practice (3:15–5:15 M–F)
We love seeing our community outside in winter. Thank you for helping us keep the trails safe and skiable!

What is the Lamoille.Findhelp.com site?
It's an original resource and REFERRAL tool for basic needs like housing, food, utilities, and transportation. The emphasis is on referrals, because not only can you find information about hundreds of organizations on the side, you can also refer yourself or others and make a direct connection with those organizations.
The site is free to use and has information about local (e.g. neighborhood food shelf), state (e.g. Department of Health), and ational (e.g. Veterans Affairs) resources. It can also be translated into over 100 different languages.
