Bronco Family Night is coming up on Monday, November 16, from 5–7 PM at Mustang High School Commons (801 S. Snyder Dr., Mustang, OK 73064).

This interactive districtwide event brings together families, educators, and community partners to celebrate connection, learning, and student success. All PK–12 families are invited to join us for an evening of fun, discovery, and Mustang spirit!

Doors open at 7:35 a.m. The first bell is at 8:00 a.m. and tardy bell is at 8:10 a.m. Release time is 3:05 p.m.

Car riders will need to be dropped off on the west side of campus. After 8:00 AM, students need to be dropped off at the front of the building. Please see the diagram below for our car rider procedures. After the triangle median you can make 2 lines. Then, at the cone, we merge back into one line. This allows us to clear 15th street off. Please be sure to drop your students off at the curb to ensure an expedited and safe drop-off.

***REMINDER***

For the safety of our students and traffic flow during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up:

• DO NOT park or form a line on the north side of 15th Street going westbound.

• If you cannot turn directly into the parking lot, please form a single line on the south side of 15th Street heading eastbound.

Thanks again for being patient and kind!

Students are able to log into PowerSchool and check their grades, including missing assignments, anytime. Please make this a regular habit with your student. Students do weekly grade checks in their Social Studies classes, so they know how to do this and can show you! You can get your own login by calling the front office at 405-256-5250. We highly encourage you do this, and once you have a login, it'll stay with you until your student graduates or leaves MPS.

Personal Technology Device Policy

Technology can be a wonderful resource in education. However, the use of cell phones and other personal technology devices (PTDs) are incredibly distracting to the learning environment. MPS has the following policy to ensure the least amount of distraction to our students' learning experiences.

All cell phone/PTD practices in MPS grades PreK-6 will follow Mustang Public School district policy #2140. PTDs include but are not limited to laptops, computers, tablets, cellular phones, smart phones, smart watches, gaming devices, earpods/airpods, or headphones. Devices whose primary purpose is gaming, along with any/all portable speakers are expressly prohibited at all times.

Cell Phones/PTDs are not allowed while at school.

• This includes once the student arrives on campus and until they leave the campus.

Standard consequences of violation of school cell phone/PTD policy/contract (actual consequences may vary due to severity of the violation):

• 1st violation: Cell phone/PTD will be kept in the office & picked up by the student at the end of the day;

• 2nd violation: Cell phone/PTD will be kept in the office & picked up by the student at the end of the day;

• 3rd violation: Cell phone/PTD will be kept in office until a parent/guardian picks it up in the office;

• 4th violation: Cell phone/PTD will be kept in office until a parent/guardian picks it up in the office and meets with administrators to discuss further actions.

*These consequences apply to the incidents per student and not incidents per PTD.

*School administration has the discretion to alter the consequences when necessary.

*These consequences apply to the incidents per student and not incidents per PTD.

*School administration has the discretion to alter the consequences when necessary.

*The school and its employees are in no way responsible for any theft or damage of cell phones/PTDs while on school grounds. The school is not obligated to investigate the loss or damage of any cell phone/PTD.

*Any deviation from this plan will be at the discretion of school administration.

Thank you to all of our Meadow Brook stakeholders. We are so grateful for such a supportive community. As always, if you need anything or have questions, please reach out to one of us and we will gladly take care of whatever we can for you. It's been a great year so far!
