Welcome Back Message

Welcome back, and happy 2026!
It’s great to be back with our students, and I wanted to share some important updates and upcoming events happening at Sequoyah Upper Elementary.

 

Yearbooks:
Elementary yearbooks will go on sale beginning Tuesday, January 13. Order forms will be sent home and should be completed and returned with payment to your child’s teacher no later than Thursday, January 29. The cost of a yearbook is $22.00. Please note that we are unable to extend the ordering deadline, and no extra copies will be available once sales close.

Canned Food Drive – Upper Elementary vs. Middle School
Our schoolwide Canned Food Drive will run from Tuesday, January 20, through Thursday, January 29. This year, Upper Elementary is competing against the Middle School to support local food pantries. Let’s show our Eagle pride, help families in need, and bring home the trophy! 🏆

 

Parent-Teacher Conferences:
Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held on Monday, February 9, and Tuesday, February 10, from 4:00–7:00 p.m. Scheduling for conferences will begin on Monday, January 26.

 

Muffins with Moms & Book Fair:
Our Muffins with Moms Eagle PASS event will take place on Friday, February 6. The Scholastic Book Fair will also be open on this day and will continue through Thursday, February 12, which will be the final day of the Book Fair.

 

End of the 3rd Quarter & Spring Break:
The 3rd quarter will end on Friday, March 13.
There will be NO SCHOOL from Monday, March 16, through Friday, March 20, for Spring Break.

Weather & Outdoor Play

As we transition between fall and winter, Oklahoma weather can change daily. With unpredictable temperatures and playground conditions, please make sure your child(ren) are dressed appropriately for outdoor play. Students do go outside for recess, lunch, and some specials when weather permits. Thank you for helping ensure students are prepared and comfortable.

 

Arrival & Dismissal Procedures

Morning drop-off may begin at 8:00 a.m. Students are not allowed in the building before 8:00 a.m. While you may see staff children or Safety Patrol students entering earlier, all other students must wait until this time.

For afternoon dismissal, please be in the car line by 3:10 p.m. or wait on the island. It may take a bit longer early on as students and families learn the routine, but our goal is to load the final student by 3:15 p.m.
For safety reasons, please remain in your vehicle at all times. If you need to assist your child with buckling, pull forward and stop at the end of the parking lot.
