From the Superintendent

Early Childhood Education Center

Supt Note: This week's column has been written by our Early Childhood Principal Ms. Teresa Ledbetter. We really appreciate the leadership and patience from Ms. Ledbetter and staff over the past couple of years. They have done a great job with our youngest students despite annual facility challenges. They are now on the verge of being able to work their magic in an almost magical facility. Our new Sand Springs Early Childhood Education Center is a tremendous statement about the value of education in our community, the value of partnerships, and the value of persistent determination by our Board of Education to improve our instructional programs and facilities for our students and community.

Booker T. Washington celebrated their reunion in our facility in May.  I was able to attend the celebration, and at that time it really hit home regarding the tradition of excellence in education that has been going on since 1927 for students in our building.  It was a bittersweet moment. While our building has a long history in Sand Springs, and it will be sad to see it go, I was also dodging the buckets that were catching the rain from roof leaks,  and praying that the HVAC would hold the temperature at a comfortable level for our guests and their celebration.

The excitment connected to our new Early Childhood Education Center is almost more than we can stand.  We feel like expectant parents awaiting the arrival of a new baby.  Our district is jumping into a new frontier as we set the pace with enriched high quality early learning opportunities at the corner of Park Road and 81st Street.  The building construction is complete, the furniture is set to arrive the week of July 13th, enollment is under way, and school begins for 4 year old children on August 20th.  

Current enrollment is underway for income eligible 0-3 year old children, as well as for all of our district's 4 year old children.  Children that are 0-3 will be served through our partnership with Tulsa Community Action Program at both the Twin Cities Early Childhood Learning Center and at our new site. Please call our ECC at #246-1570 to obtain additional information about enrollment procedures.

Again, did we say we are excited?  Oh yes we are! -----------------------------------

 
Parent Outreach

                     clock.jpg                It's time for a renewed emphasis on Drug and Substance Abuse Awareness!!!

Our district has launched a new Student Drug Testing policy related to extra-curricluar partcipation. The policy impacts students in grades 9-12.  The board of education adopted the policy in March, 2009 as a result of recommendations that generated from the district- wide Safe and Drug Free schools committee.  The board listened to parent input, and to the recommendations from the committee before they ultimately made their decision.

The program has been written about in the local Sand Springs Leader as well as featured on a Channel 2 news broad cast.  The details of the policy are available by clicking onto our district website and by searching the key word "student drug testing policy."  The specific policy reference is FNCFD.

The program begins when a student is interested in participating in extra-curricular activities at CPHS as well as at the 9th Grade Center.  The students will be required to sign a contract along with their guardian that essentially agrees to committing to being drug and substance free, while also agreeing to participate in the random screenings throughout the school year.  A positive test would result in a suspension from the extra-curricular activty for a period of time while partipating in substance abuse counseling.  The suspension from the extra-curricular activity would not impact a suspension from school, but it would not allow the student to practice or compete until their counseling and temporary extra-curricular suspension has been served.            

Substance use is a weighty decision, and we hope that this policy will reinforce parent expectations as well as support our overall educational efforts to encourage students to choose a substance free lifestlye.
