Morning Drop-Off & Afternoon Pick-Up Information Morning Drop-Off & Afternoon Pick-Up Information

Scripps Families,


With the construction of the LOHS auxiliary gym beginning after spring break there will be an increased number of students using the CERC parking lot. In an effort to help with traffic flow the gate just north of the Scripps drop off area will be closed from 2:30 - 3:00 p.m. daily beginning on 3/31/2025.


The "loop" area by CERC is one-way! No traffic will be able to travel south using the loop. Southbound traffic will use the drive closer to Scripps Middle School.

Spring Testing Spring Testing

Spring Testing 2025 is quickly approaching! These assessments are an opportunity for your child to show all their academic growth over this last year. Please mark your child's testing dates on your calendars. We appreciate you being mindful of these dates and avoiding unnecessary appointments. Students should be getting a full night's sleep and a healthy, balanced breakfast on the morning of testing days to ensure they are set up for success!

Lake Orion Community Schools is launching a program in 2023-24 to recognize LOCS staff members for their excellence.

The intent of the Distinguished Dragon program is to ensure that staff members who go above and beyond their regular duties are appreciated. The additional effort or support can range from helping an individual to helping a group or any effort that seems worthy of praise.

The staff member can be nominated by a student, parent, community member or a colleague by completing the form at Distinguished Dragon Submission

We ask for the submitter's name and contact information to follow up with specific questions if necessary. Please make sure to select the appropriate school/department form so the message is routed in the proper direction.



Please complete the form entirely so the individual can be appropriately honored for their contributions.
