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
Our own Rachel Welch has received the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST)! We're so proud of her, and it's fantastic that she's getting national recognition. The PAEMST is the highest recognition a K-12 science, technology, engineering, or mathematics teacher may receive for outstanding teaching in the US. She has dramatically impacted her students, this district, and every educator she has worked with.
Congratulations Rachel Welch!
