Oklahoma State Department of Education ... taking care of business of education, working smarter and investing to move forward.
In order to implement an effective afterschool program throughout the district, staff at the Lawton Public School District knew they needed to find a program that would keep students, staff, and families engaged. They believe that they found that program in the CATCH kids club, a physical activity and nutrition education program designed for elementary aged children (grades K-5).

Lawton has been named by a major business magazine as the best place in Oklahoma to raise children, and the Lawton Public Schools is one of the reasons why. The Nov. 7 edition of BusinessWeek magazine named 50 U.S. cities -- one in each state -- where homes were affordable, incomes were good and the environment for raising children was positive.
To be eligible for selection, communities had to have at least 50,000 residents and the median family income had to be between $40,000-$100,000. Primary criteria also included the performance and number of local schools, low crime rate, air quality, job growth, diversity and access to such amenities as museums, parks and theaters. School performance was the most heavily weighted of these factors.
This was the second year that BusinessWeek has published such a list. Runners up in Oklahoma were Midwest City and Broken Arrow.

Saturday math classes still enrolling
LPS is offering a replacement mathematics class for students in grades 8-12 who need assistance with Algebra I, Algebra II or geometry. The class meets from 8 a.m.-noon on five consecutive Saturdays, beginning Feb. 6.
Although the class is open to all students, the target audience is for students making a grade of C or lower. The course is designed to help students not only increase their letter grade, but increase knowledge in their specific math field. Small classes will enable one-on-one instruction. Students whose grades improve in the Saturday class have the option of using it to replace a grade earned during the second quarter of the first semester.
To obtain an application, students should contact their school counselor. Because of the recent weather, the enrollment period has been extended to Feb. 5.
