On Friday, 8 students- Rey Smith, Iris Thao, Cameron Lewis, Dodge Abel, Daisy Mainka, Faith Sherwood, Evelyn Jester, and Lillie Alcorn performed in the OU Vocal Workshops and put on a great concert as men's and women's groups separately and then joined together at the end to sing with close to 400 students! Then last night, the Longhorn Drumline, cymbals Daisy Mainka, Rogue Thao, Kinsley Stroud, Reina Smith, and Bailey Ford, tenors Marleigh Rodriguez and Kedric Harwell, basses Parker Serrano-Anderson, Jennifer Martinez, Cameron Lewis, and Parker Ross-Underwood, and snares Dru Serrano-Anderson, Kylie Owings, Evelyn Jester, and Dodge Abel all marched in the mile-long annual Chickasha Christmas Parade.

JUST A REMINDER THAT THIS IS ONE WEEK FROM TODAY! Please make sure you know all details below for your child.
ALEX SCHOOLS CHRISTMAS VOCAL MUSIC CONCERT THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11TH AT 2PM AND 7PM ALEX HIGH SCHOOL GYMNASIUM
We will present a “Sounds of the Season” vocal music concert! This concert will be for ALL Pk-4th grade students and for 5-12 JH/HS Mixed Choir. This is a vocal only concert, so drumline students will not be on this concert (unless they're in the choirs). All students have worked hard for this for weeks. Please make it urgent that your child attend both performances! Please remember that for our Alex JH/HS Mixed Choir, these two performances comprise a large portion of their entire class grade, as it is all that we work toward during our class. The 2 pm concert is an informal dress rehearsal that is open to those audience members who may want to watch or may not want to drive at night. The 7 pm performance is our formal performance. For the 2:00, your child does not have to wear anything special, it is informal. For the 7:00 -- please just wear red and green festive church-style dress. For all, PLEASE NO HATS OR HEADGEAR, ANTLERS, ANTENNAS, ETC., so that singers behind you are not blocked from view by their families. JH/HS mixed choir, please wear very nice Sunday style dress, red and green colors are preferred but not required. As always, if you ever need to find the date for any of our upcoming music events, you can always visit our school's events page at https://www.alex.k12.ok.us/events, and there you'll find them on the school calendar. Thank you!

Alex Public School is proud to announce our school report card scores. Alex Pk-8 received a score of an A, Alex 9-12 received a score of a B. In comparison to other schools in the state of Oklahoma, APS is well above the state average. This is a direct result of the hard work of our students, staff, parents and community support. The report card factors in academic achievement, student academic growth, attendance, EL proficiency progress, graduation rates and post secondary opportunities. Oklahoma school report cards can be accessed at the following link: https://oklaschools.com
