School of Saint Mary FYI

1. BKHS Athletics: Sr. Mary Hannah asked that we share her letter to the State of Oklahoma regarding a change in the athletic competition level that will greatly affect our current and future students. As someone that greatly benefited from athletics at Kelley, I am flabbergasted that the State is even considering making this change and would strongly encourage parents to contact Rep. Baker.

The letter is available on the BKHS website here: https://www.bishopkelley.org/ossaa.

2. Hearing Screening results went home with students this week.

Hallow for Families: Message from our Hallow Rep:

This link https://hallow.com/schoolofsaintmaryOKparents22-23 will take parents to a landing page where they can sign up for their free three-month trial of Hallow. They'll need to sign up with an email address. Also note free trials are only good once, so if a parent has had a free trial previously, they would not be able to take advantage of it.

Flu and COVID levels are low right now, but please continue to watch your student for illness and keep them home if they are not feeling well.

The portal is not open through March for student orders!

Ordering Portal Dates:

Portal closes on 2/17 for orders for 2/20-24.

Portal closes on 2/24 for orders for 2/27-3/3.

There will be no orders listed on days that school is closed and when there is a Home and School prepaid pizza day.

I have created a video showing the steps on how to order as it would show on your screen as a parent. Here is the link: https://www.loom.com/share/cb49e8b4f12b4d43a79871b43541f1ed
