Resiliency Makes the Difference!

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 Resilience Curriculum includes a survey from 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 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; 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 and high school.

Click here to opt your child out of the resiliency surveys. Complete this form for opt-out by Tuesday, February 4th.

If you have any questions, you can email the following grade level counselors.

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.
