Loon Lake Home-Link

Loon Lake School District offers the Loon Lake Home-link (LLHL) Program to families in the area, and can accept out-of-district students as well. The purpose of this program is to provide support to those parents educating their kindergarten-eighth grade students at home.  This past year, LLHL served over 100 students. Some of those students came to on-site classes, and some were “Distance Learners” only.

The Home-link building is located behind the Old Loon Lake School (now the Historical Society).

The school year program provides:

  • Appropriate curriculum and instructional materials
  • Consultation
  • Testing

Enrichment activities, workshops, and field trips are also available as funding allows. These include:

  • Ski program
  • Christian Youth Theater (CYT) plays
  • Greenbluff
  • The MAC
  • Mobius Science
  • Cat Tails
  • Roller skating

While the school year runs September-June, on-site enrichment activities and classes are offered on Fridays beginning in October. This year, the Home-link Program will offer classes for the on-site students in grades K-8th

  • Art
  • Hands-on-science
  • History
  • Physical education
  • Puppetry
  • Writing
  • Early learners
  • Stained glass (for 4th-8th graders)  

Certified teachers help families meet the requirements for academic achievement. The Home-Link has several classrooms, including a computer room, curriculum library, kitchen facility, and parent’s room for families with babies and small children. In addition, the Home-Link students use the elementary school gym for P.E. classes.  

If you are interested in 2018-19 enrollment for your students educating at home, please email (preferred) [email protected] or call the Home-Link office at 233-8185. Please leave a message.

Letter To The Editor – School Levy Importance

As a city council member in the late 70’s and early 80’s and a city employee for 24 years I have heard a lot of misinformation disseminated through “coffee shop” talk and later social media. It has always concerned me to hear incorrect information passed along by people who don’t bother to ask for the facts, when they are readily available. Right now I am hearing of things being said about the Deer Park School levy, particularly the need for a new bus barn, that are troubling.
