I cannot believe we will sit down to Thanksgiving dinner in just a few weeks. 

November is National Gratitude Month, and this is a time to celebrate and give thanks for all the blessings we have in our lives.  I am very thankful for our amazing parents, teaching staff, and support staff who go above and beyond for our community every single day. We are all truly blessed to have such a supportive community.

Saturday, November 11th, is Veterans Day. Elementary students will be doing special activities in their classrooms throughout the week to observe this holiday. If you are actively serving in the US MILITARY or a VETERAN, we want to thank you for YOUR SERVICE.  

"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader." -- John Quincy Adams

As we begin to transition between fall and winter, 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 a.m. 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, then 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.

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.

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 p.m.
