From calexander at osrhe.edu Fri Apr 13 14:39:49 2012 From: calexander at osrhe.edu (Alexander, Carol) Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2012 14:39:49 -0500 Subject: [OKPromise-k12-counselors] Oklahoma's Promise information Message-ID: <3B3640988539EC47A50B689936AF65C176A5B9@postman2.osrhe.edu> Happy April everyone! OKPromise has begun a new ad campaign featuring testimonials from some of Oklahoma's own! You may notice some billboards, print ads, television ads or even a banner on the side of a bus of one of your former students or a counselor or principal you might know. We are very excited for this new ad campaign and truly appreciate the heartfelt testimonials provided by our volunteers. I also wanted to let you know that we are mailing a postcard (see attachment) to all of our OKPromise seniors today. This is just meant to be informational, however you might have some students asking about it. Hopefully they won't have any hard questions. J Also, we have been utilizing our new Blackboard contact system in an effort to ramp up our direct contact with students and parents. Many of your schools have similar systems that send notifications via phone, email and text messaging. We are driving students/parents to our website and the current message will be in the big yellow box on our homepage http://www.okhighered.org/okpromise/. In December, we sent a message to all enrolled OKPromise 2012 seniors reminding them of the upcoming changes to the program regarding the second income check http://www.okhighered.org/okpromise/seniors100k.shtml. In January the message went to all of our current college students notifying them of some changes affecting them http://www.okhighered.org/okpromise/sap-requirement.shtml. At the end of next week, we are planning on sending an informational message to enrolled OKPromise 2013 juniors that will just remind them of the requirements of the program. Last but not least ..... we will be mailing the 2012 OKPromise senior Program Verification forms at the end of this month! Be on the lookout! Have a safe weekend!

Please be watching for those in your mailboxes in the next several days. You may receive some stragglers as well from us through email or postal mail over the weeks to come. Students seem to come out of the woodwork this time of year and all of a sudden remember that they moved a year ago and forgot to tell us! Also, we have a copy of the Program Verification form on the OKPromise website at www.okpromise.org if you have a student who does not have a form -- maybe a student who graduated early or someone who may have recently moved to your district. If you have any questions, please contact us at okpromise at osrhe.edu or 1.800.858.1840. Thank you for all you do!
