Stampede of Giving

Hello parents!

Next week, Oct. 7th-11th, we kick off our Fall Fundraiser: Stampede of Giving. Our goal this year is $15,000.00. Any and all donations go right back to Cheyenne!

Stampede of Giving is a week-long donation campaign with a competition between Advisory teachers for the most money earned. Top 3 classes will receive a prize for the student AND the teacher! All money students bring in goes toward their classroom totals. We will accept checks, cash, coins, & online donations.

Ways to Donate;

Purchase $20 Wristbands; Students will receive a wristband that will guarantee a treat everyday during 7th hour. Plus 2 entries into the raffle. (Only 2 treats per day.)

Purchase $5 Daily Ticket; Students can purchase a daily ticket to get their treat for that day. (Only 2 treats per day.)

Raffle Entries; For every $10 a student donates: Their name will be entered into the raffle. There is no limit to how many entries each student can have.

Don’t forget the more money you bring in each day helps your student’s class & teacher win a prize!

If you would like to volunteer to deliver treats, you can sign up here.

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.

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.
