Good attendance is important because studies have shown that students are more likely to succeed in academics and personal relationships when they attend school consistently. It’s difficult for the teacher to build a student’s skills and progress if they are absent even a few days. Studies of students from kindergarten through high school have found that dropout patterns were linked with poor attendance, that often began in elementary school. In addition, building positive relationships with classmates and teachers is significantly impacted by attendance. Bottom line…..good attendance makes everything better for relationships and learning!
Thank you for your support.

This year, each student will be able to receive one free breakfast and one free lunch per school day.
What makes a breakfast free?
- Students must take a fruit or juice with their breakfast entrée for the meal to qualify as a complete meal and be FREE
What makes a lunch free?
- To qualify for a FREE full meal, students must take a fruit or vegetable (they may take both) with their lunch entrée; a milk is not required to make a complete meal
- Juice and milk are NOT FREE, unless the complete meal is taken
- An entrée without the required fruit or vegetable is NOT FREE
- At the Middle Schools, and High School students are allowed to purchase a second entrée, or items from the snack bars if they have money in their accounts to purchase those items
Students will have to enter their student ID Number into the keypad so we can track that each student is only getting one free breakfast and one free lunch per day. Please note, we are not charging them for the meal unless they chose a la cart items; which are not included in the free meals. A la carte items are snack foods such as chips, bottles of water, cookies, fruit snacks, etc.) Students can't make free meals out of snacks.
Please keep in mind, lunch lines are always long at the beginning of the school year but will get better as everyone gets into the groove.
Please be sure, if you received free and reduced services in the past, it is important to continue to fill out this application as this will assist with additional expenses.
Students ordering from their local fast food places and coffee shops has been becoming a common practice amongst our high school students.
Students who chose to DoorDash, GrubHub or have food deliveries to the high school may NOT retrieve their order until their scheduled lunch period on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday as to not disrupt their class environment. Wednesday's we will not allow for food deliveries to the building during the school day.
Please note, all students receive a free breakfast and lunch through food services.
Wednesday's breakfast is served and the snack bar and school store are both open.

Xello Homeroom
Xello is FERPA approved online program that we at LOCS use to help students prepare for the future, whether it is preparing for their time at Lake Orion or beyond. This program offers a variety of activities from kindergarten to the end of high school. These activities help students build self-knowledge, explore their post-secondary options, and create achievable plans. They develop the 21st-century skills needed to thrive in the world of work.
Next Wednesday, Sept 20th, LOHS will be holding its 1st Homeroom with the concentration being Educational Development Plans (EDP), which they work on in Xello. In addition, this platform is used to help students build a talent portfolio and schedule their classes for their following year here in the district.
