2023-24 LOHS Calendar

Term 4 Parent Teacher Conferences will take place on Thursday, May 9th from 4 p.m. – 6:30 PM. We will continue to utilize the online scheduling program, SchoolSoft, to enable parents to schedule individual appointments

Using the SchoolSoft Link, or the document below you will find detailed directions to access and schedule the conference appointments with LOHS staff. Conveniently, this process is done through the PowerSchool Parent Portal. The system will open on Thursday, May 2nd at 10:00 a.m. and close on Thursday, May 9 at 12:00 p.m.

PLEASE NOTE: All conferences must be scheduled through SchoolSoft. Please know that you cannot access the SchoolSoft scheduling program with your student’s PowerSchool account, you will need to utilize your PowerSchool Parent Account. If you do not have your own account, you will need to create one; please contact Amy Thebo at amy.thebo@lok12.org for assistance with PowerSchool. If you need help with scheduling a conference time through SchoolSoft please contact Beth Beebe at elizabeth.beebe@lok12.org.

If you miss your scheduled conference, you will need to e-mail the teacher to schedule a conference on a new day and time. Thank you for the continued support of your student and Lake Orion High School.

Thank you to ALL our LOHS Staff! Our theme for the week is "The Year of the Dragon," which symbolizes strength, wisdom, health and good luck. Some of the fun days we have planned are a staff breakfast to start their day off healthy, a "Fill your Cup" day to give the staff strength, and a "Dragon Trivia" day to bring them good luck.

We are still in need of some LOCAL Gift Cards and a few other items (see signup genius).

Thank you for taking the time to recognize one of Lake Orion Community Schools' 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 even their own colleague. We ask for the submitter's name and contact information to follow up with specific questions if necessary.

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

The 2024-25 Lake Orion Community Schools calendars are now available by visiting the LakeOrionSchools.org calendar page. A single sheet of the important dates is also listed on that page.
