Hello Cheyenne Families!

Our amazing teachers and staff have expressed SO MUCH appreciation for the tasty treats and drinks you provided to keep them going strong throughout the day! We are running very low, so it's time to restock the teacher’s lounge! The only way we can do that is with your help!

The SignUpGenius at the below link lists the items that have been a hit in the past. Would you consider donating at this time? Sam’s and Costco are great options if you’d like to buy in bulk! But smaller packs are great as well.

It's so easy:

Sign up for what you'd like to donate to the teachers' lounge by using the choices on the SignUpGenius.
Drop off your items labeled as “LOUNGE DONATION” at the front office (or have your student drop them off there).
Give yourself a high five for being awesome!

The PTO will take it from there!

Here is the link to sign up: SIGN UP HERE!

Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions. My email is amydbaskin@gmail.com.

With Gratitude,

Amy Baskin

Traffic

Please help us get students into school on time and safely.

Here are helpful tips:

Focus and put cell phones away while driving in the school zone

Pull vehicles all the way to the blue line on each loop

Students should get out of the car along the sidewalk of the drives and medians in the lot

Do not get out at the red light or along Covell or Kelly

Students should be ready to get of the car when vehicles stop

Use crosswalks

If you need more time with your student please pull into a parking space

Dropping Off Items (No Food Deliveries)

We ask that you check with your student before they walk out the door and make sure they are prepared for the day. This includes having their, Chromebook, ID and Lunch. If your student does forget their lunch or something they need for school, we have a cart in our front lobby with grade levels. This will be rolled back into the common area for the students to pick up their items during passing. Please drop off LUNCHES or SCHOOL SUPPLIES ONLY.

If you are dropping off an instrument or athletic equipment we will place this by the back office door for them to come up and get during their passing or after school. Please make arrangements with your student regarding these items and where to retrieve them.

We do not accept any outside deliveries for students. No door dash, grubhub, etc.

Dress Code

DRESS CODE POLICY

Please take a few minutes to look over the Edmond Public Schools Dress Code policy #4510. and STUDENT DRESS CODE (REGULATION) Here are a few key points.

Hats/Headwear: Students shall not wear hats or headwear in classrooms unless a medical or religious exception exists.
Clothing: Clothing must cover areas from one armpit across to the other armpit, down to the upper thighs. Tops must have shoulder straps. Rips or tears in clothing should be below the pocket area of jeans or pants. The top and bottom clothing items must be touching (No mid-drift).
Shirts may not be sheer or mesh and must cover the entire trunk of the body. Messages on shirts shall not include illegal drugs, alcohol, tobacco or other products that may not be utilized by children. Vulgar and/or obscene messages are prohibited and will be subject to discipline under the student discipline code.
Pants, shorts, skirts, and skorts shall be worn at the waist and must be no shorter than mid-thigh.

NO BLANKETS-

Over the past school year, we have observed more students bringing blankets to school. We would like to remind everyone that blankets are not encouraged. If a student brings a blanket to school, it will be confiscated and returned to them at the end of the school day. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Student IDs who forget their student ID are asked to call home when they don't have it. If parents are able to bring it to school great. But, if not students will print a sticker for the day. If students have to print up to 3 stickers they will be receiving a new ID and $5 charged to their student account.
