Pre-K and New Kindergarten Enrollment for 2023-24 will be Thursday, April 6th. We will enroll new Pre-K students and Kindergarten students who will be new to our school system from 8:30-2:00. If you have a child or know of someone who has a child that will be 4 on or before September 1, this will be the day you enroll your child. You will need to bring your child, their birth certificate, CDIB card if they are Native American, Social Security Card, current immunization record, and your electric bill if you are in our district. If you are not in our district, you will fill out transfer papers during this process. We would love to have the opportunity to serve your child!
Starting the week of April 17th, we will be administering state-mandated tests for 3rd thru 5th grade. Our Final testing day will be on April 28th. I wanted to let you know in advance so you don’t make any appointments for your child during this testing window. It is vital that your child is at school during this week of testing.
Our Annual Elementary Field Day will be May 11, 2023. There will more information coming in the future for Field Day T-Shirts and opportunities for you as parents to be a part of this festive event.
Please continue to check the calendar on our website for upcoming events at Sequoyah Elementary. We will keep this information up to date so you can make plans to attend any events that we schedule.
Stay up to date on our website at www.sequoyaheagles.net. We now have a Sequoyah Eagles app…just go to the app store/google play and download it today.

As we begin to transition between winter and spring, the Oklahoma weather seems to change daily. With the unpredictable weather and playground conditions, please make sure that your child(ren) is dressed for outside play. Thank you to all parents in advance for helping to ensure that your child(ren) has appropriate clothing, as we do go outside during specials, recess, and lunch.
If you drop off your child, you may begin this process at 8:00 am. NO students are allowed in the buildings before 8 am. You may see staff children or our Safety Patrol students entering early, but no other traditional students. If you are picking them up at the end of the day, you must be in line by 3:10 pm or on the Island. It takes a bit longer for our little ones and their families to learn the pick-up routine, but it will get faster as the days continue. Eventually, we are loading our last pick-up kiddo at 3:15 pm. Remember not to get out of your car, pull forward from the line, and stop at the end of the parking lot if you need to help your child buckle up safely. For the safety of your child, it is vital that you follow these times. Sequoyah Teachers do not report until 8:00 am. This is 25 minutes before class begins. All students report straight to their classrooms every day.
All transportation changes must be written on a note and given to your child's teacher, or you can call our receptionist, and she will notify the teacher. Please understand we cannot make changes any other way. Students are not allowed to inform their teacher of changes verbally. If you are calling to make a change, you must notify the front office by 1:50 pm.
