Glenpool Public Schools

Message from the Superintendent

The first day of classes has come and gone! As a district, we are fortunate to see many returning students as well as students who are new ‘Glenpool Warriors’. Welcome to all of you! We have experienced a growth in enrollment at the elementary as evidenced by the enrollment figures for the
start of school over the past several years:

The district will continue with its six early release days for elementary students only throughout the school year, plus one early release day district wide in November for election day. This time provides teachers the opportunity of working together. Secondary (MS and HS) staff members will utilize time within the school day to work together rather than use the late start option. The early release dates are:

• September 19 (elementary only),
• October 10 (elementary only),
• November 6 (District wide, all students),
• December 12 (elementary only),
• February 13 (elementary only),
• March 13 (elementary only),
• May 1 (elementary only).

All students will be released from school early on the final two days of school, one day for elementary students and one day for secondary (MS/HS) students. We are appreciative of your support of this very important collaboration time.

With a continuing emphasis on student learning and school attendance, it is imperative that communication between school and home remain a top priority. All parents are encouraged to become actively involved in the many school activities occurring on and around the school campus. Also, take advantage of any opportunity to review your child’s schoolwork. Should you encounter questions, please feel free to contact the teacher, counselor or building administrator. Information can also be found right here on our website; on the district mobile app available for Apple and Android devices. Between Infinite Campus and the Parent Portal, there is an abundance of information available to you. The school messenger system will be used to notify parents in the event of emergencies, such as lockdowns, campus events or snow days as well as gather information through the use of the survey system. The use of electronic mail will also be used for delivery of the Warrior Chant, the district newsletter. In addition, the newsletter and all the school district policies are posted on the district’s website. The Parent Handbook is posted on the district’s website. If you are not receiving communications from the school district electronically, please be sure that we have an accurate Email on file. At the present time 98% of district families are receiving communications via Email.

As we continue to utilize technology more and more in the classroom, the number of devices has increased steadily. The current
numbers are as follows:
