Happy Labor Day from Alva Public Schools!
Alva Public Schools is aware of the “Cat in the Hat” social media trend concerning schools across the nation. At this time, it has not been reported to Alva Public Schools that the district has been identified in these posts and the posts appear to be a part of a larger, nationwide trend on social media. However, we are taking the trend seriously and taking all reasonable precautions to ensure the safety of our students and staff.
The district has been in contact with Alva Police Department about this trend. Our administrators, with local law enforcement, are monitoring this situation and making every effort to ensure the safety of the district.
The safety of our students and staff is always our highest priority. If anyone receives any direct communication from the “Cat in the Hat” or a similar/copycat account, or if anyone has any additional information, please preserve the messages and screenshots, then immediately contact a school administrator or law enforcement.
We appreciate the cooperation of our families, staff, students, and law enforcement partners as we take all appropriate steps to maintain a safe and secure learning environment.

In Oklahoma:
Seniors must complete and submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to graduate from a public high school. (Senate Bill 93) If a student or parent chooses not to complete the FAFSA, an Opt Out form may be submitted instead.
See attached links for a tutorial on how to complete the FAFSA and the application. Students must first create an account, set a password and fill out their portion of the application. Once this is submitted, a parent/guardian will receive an invitation email to complete their portion of the FAFSA application.

Lincoln Update!
We have officially settled into our new school! 🏫❤️
Although we were VERY crunched for time, we pulled it off, and we couldn’t have done it without the incredible help and support of so many people!
I am pleased to say that we have worked out most of the kinks, although we’re still finding new ways to make everything run as smoothly as possible. 😊
The faculty and staff of Lincoln Elementary want to send a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who helped us along the way. From moving, setting up, organizing, problem-solving, and everything in between, your willingness to jump in and help made all the difference.
We truly appreciate your time, hard work, patience, and support. We are so grateful for our amazing school community! 💙
Here’s to making many wonderful memories in our new school!

Thank you to all of our vendors and parents who came out and helped make the evening possible. We appreciate your support in helping educate our students about the importance of healthy habits and making healthy choices.
What a great way to kick off the school year for WECC!
