LAHS

Parents/Guardians/Students,

I hope everyone has enjoyed their first week back to school. We all needed a break. Eight more weeks of school, can you believe it? It has been a whirlwind of a year with the Covid changes and instructional changes that have made a huge impact on education worldwide. WE have almost made it through!

Things to come soon:

1. 2021-2022 Student Course Requests. This will be completed through the student portal on Wengage. If your student does not have access (which they all should be checking their grades every week) please contact Ms. Tiffany @ 329-1612 or tiffany.dunkle@littleaxeps.org.

2. New Concurrent information

3. Mid-America Technology Center information for newly accepted students.

Graduation update:

Venue: Firelake Arena

Date: May 21st, 2021

Time: 6:30PM

We have to prepare for graduation as if it were right now. Everything is subject to change. Little Axe faculty and staff understands what a big, important moment this is to our seniors and families. We will do our best to provide a memorable graduation for everyone.

The plan as of today:

*Each senior will be allow 14 family members at graduation.

*Families will sit together. Seats will be in groups of four and every other row will be skipped.

*Masks will be required for everyone.

*Tickets will be given to each senior closer to graduation. (More information to come as we get closer)

3/8/2021****AS STATED, THINGS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. MRS. HARP IS IN CONTACT WITH FIRELAKE AND WILL UPDATE THE COMMUNITY AS UPDATES COME IN.

If for some reason we are told by the city/state we can not have graduation at Firelake, graduation will be conducted like last year.

AS if 3/25/21 this plan has not changed.

Course selection for next year will be after spring break. This video will help your students understand what courses they need to take. It is very important decisions on courses involve the student. We must work together to prepare for success.

--IN THE "LAHS G-CLASSROOM" STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO DO VIRTUAL TOURS WITH COLLEGES. A SCAVENGER HUNT HAS BEEN ADDED. THIS WILL ALLOW THE STUDENT TO LOOK UP INFORMATION THAT SHOULD BE IMPORTANT TO THEM WHEN LOOKING AT COLLEGES.

University of Oklahoma

This summer, students can amplify their Concurrent Enrollment experience by taking five hours of college credit at OU and experiencing life as a Sooner through our Sooner Discovery program, which will occur virtually for the summer of 2021. Sooner Discovery’s goal is to provide high school students a unique and full college immersion experience.

Students can also take classes online or on campus this summer by applying for Concurrent Enrollment. Rising Oklahoma seniors will receive a tuition waiver from the state for up to 18 hours their senior year, so all they would have to pay is a reduced fee rate of $80 per hour! You can find the application here.

YEARBOOK ALERT:

IT’S LOVED FOREVER

The hand-written notes from classmates. Actual PRINTED photos. The chance to look back at outdated hairstyles. All this and more is why there's nothing like a yearbook.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT

Even during these unusual times, the Little Axe High School yearbook team is working hard to create a yearbook that is one-of-a-kind and reflects the unique moments that students are experiencing this year.
