Join us in congratulating Traci Bradley as our Secondary Certified Teacher of the Month for October 2025. One of her colleagues writes, "She handles the high school severe and profound SPED kids and staff with such dignity and grace. She meets them where they are as individuals, not just a group. She is amazing!!!"
A big shoutout to some of our amazing elementary school teachers! Instead of sleeping in on a Saturday, they spent the day at an OTEP Outreach event learning how to be even stronger mentors for new teachers.
Their leadership and dedication help make our schools a place where teachers want to stay, grow, and thrive. We’re so lucky to have them leading the way!

Dear Glenpool Community,
It is with a great deal of sadness that I am informing you of the death of one of our students. This tragic event has affected many within the Warrior family. The district wants to tell you so that you can discuss this with your child.
This morning, a traffic accident involving multiple vehicles occurred. Students who were riding on bus 12 witnessed parts of the accident, and the bus was hit by debris. The students on the bus were physically unharmed and were immediately bused to the Elementary School. Counseling staff were on site to assist when the students arrived. All parents whose children were on bus 12 were contacted with specific information about their child.
One of our students who was a passenger in one of the vehicles lost their life. This tragedy has shaken our school community, and we understand that many will be feeling shock and grief. We will have counselors on hand at the Elementary to support any student, staff member, or family who needs to talk. We have also assigned additional counselors to the Upper Elementary to provide support to both teachers and students.
Every child processes grief differently, and there's no way to know exactly how this will affect yours. If, after your conversation, you believe your child requires additional support, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
Some general guidelines to follow when speaking to your child :
- Talk with your child about their feelings regarding the tragedy; share your own feelings as well.
- Discuss what happened; provide your child with age-appropriate information they can understand.
- Reassure your child that they are safe; you may need to repeat this reassurance often.
- Listen and comfort your child often.
- Notify the school if you feel they need counseling support to cope with their grief.
Our support and prayers go out to the family during this time of loss and grief.
