Reflecting back at Black History Month, we have had

some great things going on in the Loy Norrix Virtual Black History month
classroom. We started off with a painting party and a virtual tour of the
National Museum of African American History and Culture. Students we
able to participate in African dances with dance instructor Heather
Mitchell, all while building a resume of experiences. This past week we
held a Black Lives Matter week of social media week of action with so
many great posts. In the final week of black history month, we will with
Chef Kharen Shelton and some of her students in cooking
demonstrations and also have a community panel discussion. If your
students haven’t been participating with our Black History Month virtual
celebration, it isn’t too late. The classroom code is “prgpmeh”.

Abraham Konjoh competed in a pole vaulting competition at Landon

Athletics. After all the time and hard work he put in, he finally cleared 13 feet in
competition. That would have been impressive by itself. However, he went on to
clear 14 feet and took 3rd place overall. Although that mark was not done in
season, it would put him in the top ten pole vaulters of Loy Norrix all time. He is
really setting himself up for a great outdoor track season if we have one this year.

The parents of the Class of 2021 are fundraising in order to provide something
special to our graduating Seniors in lieu of the traditional Grad Bash celebrations.
Grad Bash is a post-graduation celebration following the graduation ceremony at an undisclosed location. For the safety and
health of our students, Loy Norrix High School has opted to look at different ways to provide our Seniors a lasting mark on their
student career. Thank you for your time and consideration in supporting our graduates.

Dear Loy Norrix Families,
Informational
video!
It is hard to believe that it’s time to begin selecting courses
for the 2021-2022 school year. We will continue to use
Home Access Center (HAC) for the online course selection LINK HERE
process. This means that students will log into their HAC
account and select the courses they would like to take next
school year. Students will be given a link to the district
course bulletin, and they should review their transcript to
assist in the selection of courses in HAC.
The course selection window in HAC will open for all
students on Monday February 15, 2021. Counselors will be Join us for the

deadline in order to have the best opportunity to be placed
in all the courses you desire. Meet Code: https://meet.google.com/hdo-bcrj-gtq

We have created a scheduling video to assist you and your

student in the online scheduling process. The link to the
video is listed below and can be found on the counseling
office google classroom (Google Classroom code: clgxcpn).
The course bulletin lists graduation requirements, county
programs, and course descriptions for courses offered at
Loy Norrix. Courses that do not have sufficient requests
will be canceled and students requesting that course will be
scheduled into an alternative.
We feel this online approach will facilitate a smooth
scheduling process and allow you to participate and engage Seniors!
