Public Notice: Intent to Apply
Little Axe Public Schools is applying for funding under the Oklahoma State Department of Education Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) Grant for Little Axe Elementary and High Schools. The Nita M. Lowey 21st Century 21st CCLC program is authorized under Title IV, Part B of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. The program provides federal funding for the establishment of community learning centers after school and summer programs that provide academic, artistic, and cultural enrichment opportunities for students who attend high-poverty and low-performing schools, in order to meet state and local standards in core academic subjects such as reading, math, and science. In addition, this program is intended to provide students with a broad array of hands-on STEM activities, leadership, and community service opportunities and to include families and the community in the education process.
The 21st Century grant will allow us to continue the goal of ensuring that all children receive an equal opportunity for success. The program provides homework help, literacy tutoring, hands-on STEM lessons and activities, clubs, community service projects, and a variety of recreational and special interest opportunities. After school staff collaborates with teachers to supplement lessons during the school day and to reinforce and enhance concepts learned through offering enrichment activities.
Our program is working with a coalition of community partners. If you are interested in being a community partner role in the program contact Emily Blakley, Federal Programs Director at emily.blakley@littleaxeps.org.

Hopefully, you all have seen this year's Impact Aid form come home with your students. There is an option to fill it out online as well: https://forms.gle/1meBMNWFUbodeQoS8
Please help Little Axe Schools by completing this survey form for the Impact Aid Grant. Impact Aid assists school districts which educate federally connected children with the lost portion of the local tax base due to federal ownership of property. The information is of vital importance to all students in our school district.
According to 47 OK Stat § 11-705 (2022), "The driver of a vehicle meeting or overtaking a school bus that is stopped to take on or discharge school children, and on which the red loading signals are in operation, is to stop the vehicle before it reaches the school bus and not proceed until the loading signals are deactivated and then proceed past such school bus at a speed which is reasonable and with due caution for the safety of such school children and other occupants."
Please stop for our school buses as they provide safe transportation to and from school for our students.

Friendly Reminder:
Each Tuesday and Thursday, your child will be sent home with 5 days’ worth of breakfast and lunch provided free to them through the school. If your child is a bus rider, we ask that if possible meet them at the bus stop to help carry their items. The meals have been packaged in the most efficient way possible but carrying this amount of food could be difficult for some of our students.
If your child is a car rider, you may pick up their food at the loading dock of the elementary between the time of 3:00-3:45 on their scheduled day to be in traditional school. The buses will be arriving in the bus lane at this time so we ask that you park in the parking lot and walk up to the loading dock door to pick up your child’s food. Please remember, we are practicing social distancing and a mask must be worn.
If you choose to opt out and do not want your child to receive these meals, please email your child’s teacher. We ask that you be patient with us as we try to find the most efficient way of delivering these meals to our students. If you have any questions, please contact the elementary at 405-447-0913.
Meals will be provided as follows:
A Schedule-Tuesday
B Schedule-Thursday
Virtual students may still pick up meals every Tuesday from 10:00am-11:30am.
