NOCC PRESENTATIONS ABOUT VAPING

Understanding the impact that vaping has on today’s students, Lake Orion Community Schools and the North Oakland Community Coalition (NOCC) have partnered to provide middle level students informational presentations designed to prevent vaping. In the coming weeks, NOCC will provide presentations to sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students in their social studies classes that reviews the basics of what vaping is, the dangers associated with vape use, and the consequences of vaping as it relates to school discipline and the law. Students at all three LOCS middle schools will receive this information during the month of March.

Summer School

Lake Orion Schools are offering a middle level summer program focusing on literacy and math skills. This is a zero cost, 4-week intervention program designed to reinforce skills that 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students did not master in their current grade level. Semester grades from ELA and either Math 6, Math 7, or Math 8 will be reviewed by Oakview staff. Students who earned a 2 or lower in these specific classes will be required to attend summer school in order to have success in the upcoming school year. Students that earned a 2 or lower for Semester 1 grades but are able to demonstrate significant progress for Semester 2 may no longer be required to attend the summer session. The dates for summer school are Monday through Thursday, July 8 - August 1, from 8:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m.
