Glenpool Public Schools

The state Board of Education has approved the recommendation that Oklahoma students will not return to the classroom for the remainder of the current school year, as our state continues to fight the spread of COVID-19. They have approved a continuous learning plan that will allow students to complete the school year at home. .

We understand this action is in the best interest of everyone’s health, which is our greatest priority as a district. As approved, this also means that all extracurricular activities and special events will be canceled as well. Making these difficult decisions, we believe, is simply the right thing to do for our students, our staff and our community.

We do have good news: Glenpool is developing a plan to ensure your child will continue to have opportunities to learn and to grow academically, especially with parental support.  As you can imagine, this is a significant transition for our students and our teachers. Glenpool will spend the next two weeks planning for this effort and will share details with your family as soon as they are available. Teachers and support staff members will hear from their principals soon as they gather input regarding the next phase of the school closure.

Our instructional staff have prepared some resources that families may access to help keep your students engaged at home. Click the links from the left side menu to access these resources for your student's grade level.

Essential Resources for Families

As schools move to distance learning in the wake of COVID-19, families and caregivers are now facing a new role in ensuring their children are taking the necessary steps to finish schoolwork each day at home.

Learn how to maximize your child’s at-home learning time by following the tips for families below.

• Work with your child to designate a space for learning that will limit distractions as they complete their school work.
• Create a schedule. At times when life does not feel normal, helping students stay on a routine is helpful. Remember to maintain time for breaks, lunch and snacks, as well as walks and play.
• Allow children time to interact with friends virtually or on the phone. This will help them maintain relationships and continue to build their social skills.
• Emphasize that learning will continue even though it is not occurring in the normal setting.
