Warrior Chant February 2025

Parents,
Effective communication is crucial in fostering a strong partnership between school and home. To ensure you receive timely and important information, the district utilizes a variety of communication channels to keep you informed about school news, events, your child’s progress, and important announcements.
· Glenpool Public Schools Website – Access to important news, live feed for social media posts, site access, events and much more!
· Campus Portal - Through your infinite campus parent portal you are able to see your child’s grades, attendance, lunch balance, assignments, and any forms you need to complete.
· Email and Phone – The district will push out messaging to parents through email and through text messages. Ensure that your email and cell numbers are up to date in Infinite Campus.
· Social Media - The district will post important information, events, and announcements via Facebook & X (Twitter). You can follow our district pages and/or each site.
· App - The Glenpool School App has all the information from the website available on your phone. We will also communicate through push notifications. (Be sure you allow push notifications from this app in your settings).
The partnership between school and home plays a vital role in a successful education. Our goal is to provide consistent and effective communication for all of our patrons.
Respectfully,
Curtis Layton
