Mustang Round-Up Back-to-School

First Schedule Release -- August 7th, 5pm (be patient. It will take a while for the schedule to appear in your email.)

To have a student schedule released via email on August 7th - parents must have all information(annual update, utility bill, immunizations, fines) completed by 12:00 pm on 8/7.

We are open 7:30-3:30pm to assist you with any questions or assistance you may need.

Second Schedule Release -- August 9th

*** Please remember that all information, shot records, and fines must be up to date or paid before a schedule can be released.

In order for your student to receive their digital schedule release on the evening of Wednesday, August 7th, the following items Must Be Completed:

1. Annual Update Completed in Infinite Campus/Parent Portal

2. Proof of Residency: Utility Bill Verification uploaded to google form or delivered in person

3. Student Fines/Fees have been brought current (The STPP-Secondary $20.00 Fee, which is the Chromebook Protection Plan for the 24-25 School Year, does NOT need to be paid in order for students to receive their schedules. All other Fines/Fees must be paid for the scheduled release on August 7th.) Pay Fines and Fees through In-Touch

As we prepare to release student schedules in a digital format again this year, it is imperative that you submit your utility bill (electric, gas, or water bills only) digitally. Please load your utility bill through the Google form or bring a copy to our office. The image must have the Parent/Guardian name, address, and dates of service visible to be accepted.

Proof of Residency

• Utility bills must be for the service address that matches the primary address and contains the name of a household parent or guardian in Infinite Campus.

• Take a picture, scan, and load your utility bill to the Google Form

• Utility bills are limited to electric, gas or water bills.

• This must be a recent July 2024 or August 2024 bill.

• Families with multiple middle school students can submit the Google form once.
  
  

***Utility bills must be loaded to the Google Form or delivered to the school for residency verification regardless if you previously uploaded these documents on the Annual Update. These are two separate processes.

***You will receive an automated email after submitted the google form****

We absolutely do our best to accommodate student and family requests, but we are operating within a tight window to keep class and team numbers equitable.

Schedule and team changes are not options. We can attempt to address repeat courses(2 PE courses or 2 Spanish courses), required and/or qualifying courses, and missing courses. These adjustments need to be communicated to the appropriate grade level counselor

7th-grade Lindsey.Descher@edmondschools.net

8th-grade Vicki.Barton@edmondschools.net

Counselors are also able to address any specific questions regarding class descriptions.

It is vital for you to know that we want to give everyone their dream schedule, but it is impossible to fulfill all 800 student/parent dreams and wishes for teachers, courses, and teams. Remember that we want class sizes that support student learning, and if schedules are changed, it gives an unfair advantage by adjusting class and team numbers.

I am sure there will be tears and angst amongst students at the unveiling of schedules. These feelings are perfectly normal, and students experience them each year at the beginning of school. I know that feeling as a parent (I have two students myself; one is an 11th grader, and the other is a sophomore in college. When they are in distress, we want to fix it. I do, too! However, it is essential to know that we won't be able to accommodate changes. I wish we could. It is not in our nature as educators to make people unhappy. We want everyone to be happy. So, I ask you to please sit down with your child and help us soothe and assure them that it will be okay. We will take great care of your child as they navigate middle school life and pre-adolescence. But we can't do it alone; we need your help in this mission. Life is not always comfortable, and often, things do not go as we want them. We know this as adults, but kids are still learning this. Thank you for partnering with us on this journey!

Best $20 you will ever spend!

All PK - 12th grade students will be issued a district device to use for learning this year. At times, PK - 5th grade students may be given the option to take their district-issued device home with them to use, but they will mostly use their device in the classroom. All 6th - 12th grade students will be required to take their devices home each day.

All devices have a case to prevent accidental damage, however, we strongly recommend that families purchase the Student Technology Protection Plan (STPP) for each student. STPP will cost $10/year for all students in PK - 5th grade, and will cost $20/year for all students in 6th - 12th grades. Parents/Guardians will be financially responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged Chromebooks and/or iPads, as well as chargers and cases. This plan covers your student’s device at school and outside of school. You may pay for the STPP online via our InTouch payment system. If you have difficulties using the payment portal, these directions should be able to help. The last day to purchase this coverage is Friday, September 20, 2024.

Thank you for your time,

EPS Technology Department

Dear Cheyenne Parents and Guardians,

As we continue preparing for the start of the upcoming school year, we wanted to make you aware of an EPS program that will be partially housed in our building this year.

The Edmond Transition Academy is a program for our EPS Special Education students who are between the ages of 18 - 22 and are finishing their time with the district. The goal of the program is to prepare these students for their life after Edmond Schools. It’s a program that started last school year with great success and is already growing. Because of that growth, the district needs additional space for these students as we work to build a permanent facility that was approved by Edmond voters on our last bond.

It’s important to note that this will not create any disruption to the normal school day at Cheyenne. Our ETA students will be in a separate part of the building with a separate entrance. The ETA students will also eat lunch in a separate part of the building and use designated restrooms. They will also have continual supervision by EPS staff members. We felt it was important that you are aware of this program since there will be additional students in our building this year.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Thank you!

Michelle Grinsteiner

Cheyenne Middle School
