All traffic will enter from Reno Avenue and flow along the west side of the school, exiting onto Gill Drive. The two outside lanes are for loading and unloading students. The center lane, the white dotted line in the picture, must remain clear for vehicles exiting the line after drop-off or pick-up.

Please keep your student in the vehicle until you have pulled into the designated loading zone, where staff members will be present to help students cross safely.

If your student will be riding a bus and you haven't recived their route information yet please contact the transportation department at 405-739-1790.

In accordance with a new Oklahoma law (Senate Bill 139) students are not allowed to use personal electronic devices anywhere on school grounds during the school day. This includes lunch and passing periods. Please call the main office at 405-739-1786 if you need to get a message to your student. If your student needs to reach you they can ask to use the phone in the main office.

Phones will be taken on sight or sound.

Clear backpacks are required for all Mid-Del middle and high school students in grades 6-12. The safety of our students and staff is our top priority and the District has taken several steps to ensure schools are a safe learning environment. Students will be able to carry a pouch no larger than 5.5 inches x 8.5 inches to hold personal items such as cell phones, money and personal hygiene products in their backpack. Non-clear lunch boxes are permitted, however they will be locked in a secure location during the day except for grade level lunches.

Checking Students Out Early

• Only individuals listed in the student’s contact information from enrollment may check them out.

• A photo ID is required and will be scanned at the main office kiosk for verification.

• The checkout process may take up to 15 minutes depending on the number of people ahead of you and the location of your student.

• Students cannot be checked out after 3:00 p.m. and will be dismissed at 3:20 p.m. when school ends.

Deliveries
We are unable to accept deliveries for students.

The Bombers BGC is made up of parents, guardians, grandparents, community members, and friends of MCMS—all working together to help bridge the gap between school, home, and the community.

We have a variety of ways you can get involved, from monitoring halls or lunch, to chaperoning dances and field trips, to helping with student and staff celebrations.

If you’re interested in volunteering, please complete the Volunteer Talents & Availability Form to get started. For more information or questions, contact Jessica Gilbert. Your time and support make a difference for our students!
