Great news, Whippet families! You can now make meal account payments directly through the Guardian Portal in SylogistEd! We are excited to offer this convenient new option to help families manage meal balances quickly and easily.

How to Make a Payment:
1️⃣ Log in to your SylogistEd Guardian Portal.
2️⃣ Select your student.
3️⃣ Click Account Balances.
4️⃣ Select Make Payment.

Once your payment is received, you'll receive a confirmation, and the payment will automatically be applied to your child's account balance!

💻 For the Best Experience: We strongly recommend using a computer when making online payments, as the payment process works best through a desktop browser. If using a mobile device, please make sure your phone and browser are up to date and that you have a strong, reliable internet connection.

⚠️ Please Note: Online payments are subject to credit card processing and convenience fees.

❓ Need Help? Mrs. Krause has created a step-by-step tutorial to walk you through the payment process! You can find it in the comments below. If you have additional questions or experience difficulties, please contact her at the high school for assistance.

Mrs. Long's senior careers class had a successful Wednesday morning conducting mock interviews with members from our community. To prepare, students filled out job applications, created job specification sheets a cover letter and resume. They were then interviewed for a job of their choice. This was a great opportunity for our students to prepare for their future.

Lonnie Boeckman (1955–2013) was last week's featured alumni for "Legacy Lives Here" theme.

A proud Okeene High School graduate of 1973, Lonnie Boeckman excelled both academically and athletically. Standing 7 feet, 4 inches tall, he played center for Oklahoma State University basketball and earned All-State and All-American Honorable Mention honors in 1973. While balancing the demands of being a student-athlete, Lonnie maintained a 4.0 GPA and earned his degree in Mechanical Power Technology in 1982.

Lonnie dedicated himself to serving his hometown of Okeene as the manager and owner of Farm Service Station, a teacher in the Catholic Church, and a supporter of numerous community fundraisers. Remembered as a reliable and loyal friend, Lonnie left a lasting legacy through his accomplishments, generosity, and commitment to the Okeene community.
