Warrior Community, The Lower Elementary has been cleared for occupancy. Oklahoma Natural Gas was called on site and tested the entire natural gas system to ensure it was safe. They tested for carbon monoxide and all tests were negative. We appreciate the cooperation of the community and for our outstanding teacher and staff for making this as smooth as possible. Student and staff safety will always be our top priority. I hope you enjoy the long weekend Respectfully, Curtis Layton Superintendent of Schools

We have our first OkMEA All-State band member in quite a few years so he deserves some recognition! Raul Peña made 6th chair trumpet in the top OkMEA All-State band, the Wind Symphony. This is out of all schools in Oklahoma, and we are super proud of him for that!

Hello Lower Elementary Families, We want to shower our teachers with love over the Holiday season with special snack days. If you can sign up for an item, we would appreciate it. Please bring the item to the front office at the lower elementary school before December 12th. If you would like to bring it in the morning and give it to the administration team at the front doors, that would be great, too. You can also stick it in your child's bag, but please let the teacher know what it is for. Thank you so much for always supporting our school. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0944A4AC2CA1FB6-53763009-shower Thanks, Kristi Main Lower Elementary Dean of Students
