The Second Step® Elementary digital program is a universal, Tier 1 social-emotional learning (SEL) curriculum that’s web-based, provides the structure to allow for consistent delivery, and easily scales across schools and districts. The program evolves along with your students during their elementary years to set them up for success later on in school and throughout their lives. See the document below for additional information.

Our attendance line is up and running. Choose Option #2 when calling your child out for the day.

Please make sure you don't drop off before 8:30 we have no supervision.

Please stay in your car when dropping off. This keeps the traffic moving much faster.

I know we are all in a hurry to get somewhere in the morning but for our student safety we ask if you are going to park, please make sure to walk them across the parking lot and drop off lanes. This way our students are safely getting to the sidewalks.

Please make sure you are picking your child up NO later than 4:00. By this time students are ready to see their loved ones and are looking forward to their evening activities. Our teacher contract is 8:30-4:00. The admin team wants to honor our teachers time by letting them go home or work in their classrooms at 4:00. Thank you for your support.

Reminder: That 3 tardies OR 3 early check-outs equal an absence.

Please make sure to get your child to school by 9:00 am. Teachers begin their teaching first thing in the morning and to make sure your child is not missing essential learning it is very important for them to be on time.

We do ask if you have to check your child out early to do that NO later than 3:00. We start transitioning to dismissal areas and students are in hallways or common areas.

O.S. 70§10-106, Section 387, School Laws of Oklahoma

If a child is absent without valid excuse four (4) or more days or parts of days within a four week period or is absent without valid excuse for ten (10) or more days or parts of days within a semester, the attendance officer shall notify the parent, guardian, or custodian of the child and immediately report such absences to the District Attorney in the county wherein the school is located for juvenile proceedings pursuant to Title 10 of the Oklahoma Statutes.

We do know that emergencies happen but we ask that if your child has a change in the way they go home please notify the office by 2:30 pm. This gives us enough time to notify the teachers of the dismissal change.
