Welcome back, Pacer Families! We know we speak for many when we say this return to school is like no other! It is such a welcoming sight to see our fall athletes preparing for the season and wish them all a safe and successful year on the field and in the classroom! Go Pacers!

Who are we?

The Pacer Athletic Club is an umbrella booster for all athletic programs at Lakeridge High School. We strive to enhance the student experience through excellent facilities and sports programs, celebrating student athlete achievement and celebrating Pacer Pride throughout the community. Our team consists of parents who appreciate the importance of high school athletics, along with our Athletic Director, Mark Horak, and Principal, Desiree Fisher.

What is needed?

Every year we ask coaches for feedback on what type of equipment they need to run a successful program. Here are just a few items that were requested for the 2021-2022 school year:

Wrestling: Assessment Scale $2000

Water Polo: Weighted Polo Balls $150

Tennis: Ball Cart & New Windscreens $200-$1000

Cheer: New Flags/Safety Boulders $500-$900

Basketball: hudl account (for film needs) $900

Dance: Game Day Uniforms $170 each

Annual Weight Room Maintenance

Common Question: Doesn’t the district pay for this?

Athletics are NOT FULLY funded by our district. The $300 fee to play covers coaches salaries, insurance, officials, transportation and overhead. All of the additional expenses to run athletic programs are paid for by fundraising!

How can you help?

DONATE: During registration we are asking families to donate $50 to support the PAC in our mission. This is a tax-deductible donation. The money raised during registration will go toward a variety of equipment throughout the year or toward major projects. Our goal is to fund for items that touch a variety of athletes.

ASB Student Leaders will provide Campus Tours for 10th graders new to the building, students transferring in to Lakeridge and LO Online students returning to campus at the August 27 Pacer Pick Up day and again on Monday, August 30th in the afternoon. These tours are available to any student returning or new to the school. Please click on the link below if you are in one of our above categories to be in a tour group. ALL NEW 9th Graders will be part of a tour group on their first day August 30th. 9th grader should not fill out this form.

We do not charge class fees for any student. LOSD provides all materials students needs to participate in their classes. Please click on the link below to see a list of common beginning of school charges. Cash and Check are highly recommended if you are paying on campus. If you use a credit card, either in person or on the WEBSTORE, there is a transaction fee charged.

Lost or Damaged Books fines can be paid at the start of school as well, and those charge vary based on the book's replacement value. You may wish to wait to pay these fines until school get up and running to make sure the book does not get turned in by another student. If you pay for a lost book and it is returned, we issue a full refund.

If you pay for your items on the WEBSTORE before the pick up days we will verify your payments and send you through to pictures and textbooks.

Parking must be paid for on campus with Mrs. Fisher but you can bypass the fee line if you pay for everything else on the WEBSTORE and only need to pay for parking.

We are so excited to have our New Pacers starting high school on Monday, August 30th.

Smart Start is an opportunity specifically for our students with 504s and IEPs, and their parents and guardians, to make introductions with their teachers and to feel prepared for the start of school. For the 2021-22 School Year, Smart Start is in person Aug. 26, 2021, from 1-3 p.m.

Teachers will be familiar with your student’s plan and accommodations. To help better know your students, please complete the attached one-page profile or create one on your own ahead of time, and give it to the teacher at the Smart Start introduction.
