Life Middle School Oak Cliff News & Notes

Dear Life School Families,

We wanted to remind you to join us for an all-parent virtual meeting tomorrow, July 29th at 6:00 PM. 

Dear Life School Families,

Many of you are scheduled to visit your student’s campus Friday, August 14th, to retrieve important school materials including ID badges, hang tags, curriculum resources, textbooks, and technology devices.

In a swinging success, the Life School Education Foundation (LSEF) raised over $10,000 in student scholarships and educational grants during its Fairway for Leaders Golf Tournament on Sept. 21st.

 Congratulations to Life High School Oak Cliff's Head Track Coach, Marquis Stimpson, for being this week's Texas A&M University-Commerce "Varisty L Club" Spotlight!

During the 4th Annual Lion Relays, Coach Hewitt and Coach Stimpson had the honor of recognizing seniors Errol Hampton, Adaryah Kidd, and Jason Williams. These student-athletes have been part of the track & field program for the past 4 years.

The boys varsity soccer team remains undefeated in district play. The team has improved their district record to 9-0-1. The team is currently tied with Williams Prep for first place. The Lion’s next home game is March 17th vs A Plus Academy. Great job Coach Bishop, Coach Chobany, and the varsity soccer team.

Dear Life School Parents,

Due to the recommendations of local health officials, Life School made the decision to delay our return to on-campus learning until after September 8th. Now that we have begun instruction and state officials have given authority to local school districts to determine their return to campus protocols, Life School feels strongly that it is our responsibility to provide a face-to-face learning environment for families. 

For the first time since the abrupt closing of all schools across North Texas last March, Life School is reopening its doors for students who have elected to return to in-person learning on Monday, September 14th.

In a year full of unexpected circumstances, Life School is seeking to provide peace of mind to families by allowing them to secure their student’s seat early for the following school year. Currently enrolled families can now complete re-enrollment beginning Sunday, November 1st.

A huge congratulations goes out to the Middle School Girls Basketball team. The Gold team walked away with the 1st place plaque and finishing 10-0 for the season. The Blue team finished 7-3 overall and placed 2nd overall in the District tournament. Outstanding job to Coach Washington, Coach Watts, and athletes.

School choirs from across Dallas-Fort Worth gathered in Oak Cliff Sunday evening for the Parade of Choirs 2020 competition. The event comes on the heels of violent weeks and months in Dallas, including a shooting during a high school basketball game in Oak Cliff. Organizers addressed the spike in crime, hoping that bringing hundreds of children together could help promote healing and peace. Elementary, middle and high school students from across North Texas showcased their talents during the gospel singing competition.

Dear Life School Families

We are pleased to announce that beginning Tuesday, November 3rd, all breakfasts, and lunches will be free for all students regardless of income or qualifications.

Dear Life School Families,

Last night we were able to have an amazing graduation ceremony for our Class of 2020. It was a wonderful time of being together again to celebrate the accomplishments of these students, in the face of a very challenging end to their school year.

Dear Life School Families,

Although it seems that summer has only just begun, Life School is making proactive plans for the start of school in August.

Dear Parents,

Last week we communicated Life School’s plan to offer two different learning options for the upcoming school year. We appreciate the many families who have already completed their selections for on-campus or remote learning. We have received several questions as it pertains to the structure of the remote learning option and the safety protocols for on-campus (face-to-face) learning.

Dear Life School Families,

Thank you for joining us for our virtual parent meeting Wednesday night.
