The buses are running their routes at this time. Thank you for your understanding and patience as we navigate this storm.

We are delaying buses even further as the storm has expanded. We do not have an exact time due to the volatility of the building storms. When we do have an update, you will hear from us.

Glenpool School buses will run the routes about 15 minutes later today to let the storms pass. Thank you.

Dear Families, Get ready—the Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our school! This is a great opportunity to connect with your child over the thrill of bringing home new books to dive into again and again. Studies show that kids read more when they choose books for themselves. A love of independent reading boosts academic success, plus children who read more frequently also report improved mental health 1 . Here’s everything you need to know about the Book Fair: Dates: April 7 th – April 18 th Location: Movement Room at the Upper Elementary Family Event schedule and location: April 10 th and April 15 th during parent teacher conference nights from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. There’s even more info on our school’s Book Fair homepage: https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/glenpoolelementaryschool While you’re there, set up a Book Fair eWallet, the digital payment account that allows your child to shop for books at the Fair without cash. Then share your eWallet link so friends and extended family can add funds. When you fund an eWallet, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to a giving initiative called Share the Fair™. Your contributions directly support our students who need help buying books from the Fair. Many of us still remember the rush of finding the perfect book at a Scholastic Book Fair. I hope you’ll join your child at our school’s Fair and share a reading experience they’ll remember forever. Happy reading, Kristina Roberts Principal Glenpool Elementary School PS: Need one more reason to visit the Book Fair? Every purchase at the Fair benefits our school!

Parents, This morning at a Glenpool Public School campus, someone saw a person retrieve from the trunk of a car what looked like a rifle from a distance, and reported it to the proper authorities. As a precaution, schools were placed on lockdown. Glenpool Police Department checked the buildings, and were able to definitively determine the ‘rifle’ was a drill rifle (prop for band and ROTC), not an actual weapon, and that the person who retrieved it was a current student. At no time were any students in danger, nor was there ever an intruder on campus. Schools have released the lockdown. The district will always err on the side of caution in situations like this, and I would like to acknowledge the Glenpool Police Department for their quick response and diligence in ensuring student safety at Glenpool Public Schools.
