Mustang Round-Up

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.

• School Start Date and Time: School starts August 15th. School Instructional hours are from 7:40-2:20. You can access a complete bell schedule here or on our school website. Our building will open for breakfast and early entry at 7:10am. All students should report to breakfast or their Advisory class when they arrive. Advisory is a class and counts towards attendance.

• Lockers: Students do not have access to lockers. This eliminates the majority of class tardy issues, hallway issues, and having to leave the room because a student forgot something in their locker. One Chromebook replaces the 5 textbooks they used to carry. We are lucky student classes are mainly located in one hallway just a few steps from each other. We will continue offering medical, athletic, and music equipment drop-off room locations. Please keep this in mind when you purchase school supplies. Keep purchases limited to needs only. Grade levels will collect the shared items and tell students what to keep at home. Backpacks should carry the essentials only from class to class.

• Refillable Water Bottles: Students may also carry a refillable water container. It is important to put their name on the container. Refillable water containers should not contain other liquids. Do not send squeeze bottles or bottled water. Students arriving to school with outside drinks will be asked to finish them in the office or cafeteria before reporting to class. We have had too many spills and disruptions involving squeeze water bottles, bottled water, outside drinks, and drinks other than water.
  

• Backpacks: Backpacks are allowed in the classroom. Female students may also carry a small purse with personal items. Students are encouraged to only bring the essential items to school with them daily.

• Food: Breakfast and lunch are available for purchase each day in the cafeteria. We also have a snack bar with additional items for purchase. We do not allow Door Dash items, group lunches, or deliveries. Students arriving at school with outside breakfast items will be asked to remain in the office or cafeteria to complete them before reporting to class. Students should not bring full-size bags of food to school. Classrooms are a no-food zone. Exceptions will be made for class or school activities. Students may bring their lunch in a lunchbox or disposable containers. Student names should be written inside lunchboxes for easy identification.

• See below for lunch pay plan, lunch applications, and transportation details.

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.

What makes students persevere despite adversity? Resiliency makes the difference! Resiliency is a set of protective characteristics possessed by those who are able to adapt to hardship and succeed. It determines why one group or individual student succeeds and another does not. Research found six interrelated resiliency skills that are critical to student success. These skills include: valuing education, academic confidence, connectedness, stress, health and well-being, and intrinsic motivation. A student becomes more resilient if they improve performance (includes attendance, behavior, coursework), take ownership of their education, set and work towards goals, take responsibility for their lives, manage adversity, and thrive in school and beyond.

Edmond Public Schools is implementing a Resilience Curriculum and survey called, Intellispark. Our 6th through 12th grade students will take a resiliency survey during Advisory to aid the district in determining student needs and providing proactive, prevention programs. Sample questions from the surveys will be made available for viewing at our schools or the district office.

You may choose to withdraw your child from the surveys at any time. This is NOT a psychological evaluation, and the information will NOT be included in your child’s permanent academic records. Our 6th through 12th grade students will then receive lessons on resilience, through Advisory in middle school and high school.

Click here to opt your child out of the resiliency surveys. Complete this form for opt-out by Monday, August 26th.

If you have any questions, you can email the following grade-level counselors by Monday, August 26, 2024.

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.

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
