Parent & Community Newsletter

July 2023

Hey Bulldoggers,

As we approach the end of July, school will be here before we know it. First, comes enrollment and this year we'll again use virtual registration for our returning 10th-12th graders. If you have questions about what that will entail, specifics can be found below. For our incoming 9th graders, we'll still have a full in-person Freshman Orientation for enrollment purposes, so that you can see the faces of those serving you in the high school office and the buildings & rooms you'll be in. Please see the info below for more on Freshman Orientation, as well.

Once you get through the info you need for enrollment purposes, please fill out the info we need to be fully enrolled. Update your student's demographic info so we have up-to-date contact and addresses, fill out paperwork for Chromebook protection plans, and more. Please fill out the Free & Reduced Meal Application. Even if you don't think you'll qualify or eat meals on campus, your application could benefit the funding our school receives, so please help us out and fill it out. In the next couple of weeks, you can also be on the lookout for general back-to-school announcements.

As always, our doors are open and we hope to have open lines of communication with all we serve. So, if you have comments, questions, etc., please reach out to the high school office at 918-534-0933 or e-mail me at jmstowe@deweyk12.org. I continue to feel extremely fortunate to be able to serve the families & community of Dewey.

Proud to be a Bulldogger,

Mr. Stowe

Principal

Virtual Registration

What is Virtual Registration? Virtual Registration is our way of making this as efficient an enrollment process as possible. All you need to get started this school year can be completed online. It does not mean you're registering for virtual school -- it's just how you'll complete the process and get your schedule.
How do I get my schedule? If you're a returning 10th-12th grader, you'll have access to your schedule beginning Wednesday, August 2nd via your Student Portal on Infinite Campus.
How do I get into my Campus portal? If you don't remember how to access your Student Portal, fill out the Form below and we'll email you that information to your school e-mail or the e-mail provided by a parent.
What else do I need to do? Once you have your schedule (or before then if you want to take care of the registration info now), take care of updates for Demographic Updates, Chromebook Protection, and Free/Reduced Meals, and you're set!
When can I come to the building and walk around, find my classes, etc.? The building will be open for anyone who wants to come in and find classes on August 3rd from 9-11 a.m. & 1-3 p.m. We'll also be open during those times on August 4th if you want to walk around or stop in and pick up any paperwork you may need in the front office.
What if I need a schedule change? Please fill out the Schedule Change Request Form at the bottom of the page for Mrs. Chronister to review.

Freshman Orientation

What is Freshman Orientation?

Freshman Orientation will be similar to how enrollment/registration has been completed traditionally. For many reasons, we think it is important to see our freshmen in person.
This event will take place on August 3rd from 9-11 a.m. and 1-3 p.m. Our freshmen are welcome to come in at any point during these times.
It will be a "come & go" event where you can get what you need. We'll have staff on hand to answer questions, help fill out appropriate paperwork, and student leaders available to guide you around the building or give you a tour of the campus so that you're comfortable beginning your high school journey with your schedule.
You'll also complete any unfinished or incomplete paperwork, so it will be beneficial to have a parent/guardian on hand to help with this entire process.

Bulldogger Online School

The Bulldogger Online School (BOS) will be beginning its fourth year of operation as a school within our school. Students interested in enrolling in BOS should fill out the Google Form below to be placed on a contact list. In order for our online school to function effectively, we cap the enrollment, so please fill out the form so we can get you on the list and schedule a time for you to complete the application before it fills up. Click here for the Bulldogger Online School enrollment packet for more information but be sure to fill out the Form below to be contacted.

Please ensure you complete the Form below updating your demographic information. It is a required part of the registration and enrollment process and needs to be completed.

Also, see the graphic below for an explanation on how to purchase Chromebook Protection for this year via Infinite Campus. We strongly recommend each family consider purchasing a plan to be covered should a Chromebook need replaced. You may also click here to see our protection plan information, costs, and coverage.

You will also find a button directing you to the Free/Reduced Meal Program application. It's an important application to be completed for our school district even if you do not believe you qualify or your student may not eat school meals. Should you wish to fill out the application online or put money on your student's lunch account, you may do so via your Infinite Campus Parent Portal. The online F/R Meal Program application can be found in the Portal by clicking "More" and the cafeteria accounts by clicking "Food Service" in the app or on the web.

Also attached is a link to our school physical paperwork for those to which that applies. All forms attached are required by the OSSAA for competition in school athletics.

For those who wish to come into the office and pick-up physical copies, we will have those available in the high school office.
