Learning proper behavior, cooperation, respect, and self-discipline are crucial aspects of a child's educational development. Our school plays a vital role in assisting students with self-discipline, and we expect students to actively work towards acquiring these traits.

Student Admissions & Records
Custodial and Non-Custodial Parental Rights
A parent awarded legal custody by court action must file a copy of the current court decree with the school. If the custodial parent wishes the child to be released to a non-custodial parent, appropriate written instruction must be filed. Unless a court decree states otherwise, both natural parents have the right to view student records, receive progress reports, and participate in parent-teacher conferences (not necessarily together). School communication will primarily be with the custodial parent.
Admissions Requirements
Admission requirements are set forth by the "Oklahoma School Code."
- Pre-Kindergarten: Children at least four (4) years of age but not more than five (5) years of age on or before September 1, who have not attended public school kindergarten, may enroll in a full-day, non-compulsory, early childhood program free of charge.

- First Grade: Children must be six (6) years of age on or before September 1 of the school year.
Required Documentation for Enrollment:

Birth Certificates are required for first-time PreK, Kindergarten, and First Grade enrollees.
- Basis of Admission: Proof that the student meets criteria for admission (e.g., parents are district residents, valid transfer, 9-12th grade pupil residing in an elementary district, non-resident tuition payment).
The Superintendent or designee manages all admission applications and ensures requirements are met. Proof of residence is required for enrollment.
Release of Information
- General information needed for enrollment in another school district can be released without written consent.
- Individual evaluations, anecdotal records, test results, learning plans, and eligibility require written permission from a parent/guardian or eligible student before release.
Student Records
Health and academic records are maintained for each regularly enrolled student. Parents may view records upon request to the counselor or principal. Please notify the school of any changes to personal information (parent names, addresses, occupations, phone numbers, emergency contacts). In accordance with HIPPA and FERPA regulations, health records are stored separately from educational records.
Child Nutrition Program
All students are required to eat in the cafeteria or bring their own meal from home. Reduced and free meal forms are available at the beginning of the year and throughout the year in the Attendance Office for those who qualify through the National School Lunch Program. Meal payments can be made via the school's PayPal account or by sending money with the student.
Cafeteria Charges
- A low balance notice will be issued at the point of sale when an account reaches $5.00 (up to five dollars per child in the family is allowed).
- No charges are allowed beyond $30.00; however, children will be offered an alternative lunch.
- Parents experiencing difficulty paying for meals should contact the Child Nutrition Office at 443-6000 ext. 6213.
Academics & Learning Resources
Computers & Internet Use
Students have access to computers and the internet for legitimate school activities. We acknowledge both the positive and negative aspects of internet access. To protect students, we utilize software that monitors and blocks access to unacceptable content. We believe the educational benefits of internet access (information resources, collaboration opportunities) outweigh the disadvantages.
- Schools will instruct students on appropriate online behavior.
- Students are supervised and instructed on appropriate internet usage.
- Misuse of internet access may result in disciplinary action.
- If a student unintentionally encounters undesirable content, they must immediately inform a teacher.
Device Usage:
- OUE students receive a school-issued device for distance learning.
- In accordance with the Protecting Children in the 21st Century Act, training on appropriate online behavior and device use will be provided.
- No Technology Fee is required.
- Continual misuse of technology may result in loss of device privileges, and parents could be held liable for damages.
- All students and staff must adhere to the Code of Conduct for Internet and other Computer Network Access (policy 1.20).
Counselor Services
Our guidance counselor supports students socially, academically, and with personal development. Students can request to speak with the counselor through their teacher, who will then arrange a meeting. Confidentiality procedures are always observed.
Proficiency-Based Promotion
Assessments for proficiency-based promotion are offered throughout the year, allowing students to demonstrate mastery of core curriculum areas prior to their grade level or subject. Tests are available for core subjects in grades one through twelve. Parents/guardians may request proficiency-based promotion by submitting a completed application to the Counselor. Contact the Counselor for specific test dates. The Oologah-Talala Board of Education Policy on Proficiency-Based Promotion (4.40) is available on the district website.

Cheating Policy
Cheating involves gaining or giving knowledge for an assignment or test through fraudulent means. Penalties may include a zero score for the assignment/test with no make-up opportunity, and disciplinary action as outlined in the Oologah-Talala Discipline Rubric.
Homework Guidelines
Homework supplements classroom instruction and builds independent problem-solving skills.
- Assigned homework should always be completed within the allotted time.
- Elementary parents should offer support and emphasize the importance of completing school work.
- Students with questions should ask their teacher as soon as possible the next day.
- Always turn in homework; zeros are a major reason for poor grades.
Make-Up Work
Please contact your child’s teacher for specific classroom make-up guidelines.
Library Services
Pre-K through fifth-grade students can check out up to two books for a two-week period. Students will be required to pay fines or replacement costs for damaged or unreturned books. Contact your child's school library for more information.
Textbooks
Textbooks are furnished by the state and local districts. Students are responsible for their proper care and will be charged for unnecessary damage or loss.
Gifted and Talented (GT) Activities
Participation in GT activities is at the discretion of the teacher, site gifted coordinator, and building administration. Additional guidelines are available in the Oologah-Talala Public Schools Gifted Student Program policy 4.08 on the district website.
Promotion and Retention Policy
The Oologah-Talala Board of Education's primary goal is education. We recognize that children develop at individual rates. Therefore, some children may require more than thirteen years of public education to meet minimal standards.
Grade-level placement in elementary school is based on a child’s maturity (emotional, social, mental, physical), chronological age, attendance, effort, and marks. Standardized test results may also be used to judge progress.
- Teachers will communicate a child’s progress throughout the year, not just at grading periods. Informal notes and conferences are essential.
- If retention is considered, parents/guardians will be informed, and a conference will be scheduled if desired.
- Parents/guardians dissatisfied with a retention recommendation may appeal the decision through the district’s appeal process. The Board of Education's decision is final. Parents/guardians may submit a written statement disagreeing with the Board's decision for the student's permanent record.
- Students in special education are advanced or retained according to their Individual Educational Program (IEP).
- All promotion and retention considerations related to the Reading Sufficiency Act will be implemented as required by law.
The full Oologah-Talala Public School Student Promotion and Retention Policy 4.24 is available on the district website.
Reading Sufficiency Act (RSA)
Signed into law on May 4, 2011 (Senate Bill 346 - the READ Initiative), the RSA provides additional support for students not reading at their grade level in kindergarten through third grade. Starting with students entering first grade in the 2011-2012 school year, SB 346 requires school districts to retain any student not reading on level by third grade, as demonstrated by advanced or proficient scores on state-accepted assessments.
Oologah-Talala Public Schools is committed to high-quality reading instruction. All reading instruction in both Lower and Upper Elementary targets individual student growth, covering Comprehension, Fluency, Vocabulary, Phonics, Phonemic Awareness, Writing, and Spelling through whole-group and targeted small-group instruction.
- Students identified at risk will receive additional in-school targeted reading instructional time and tutorial instruction.
- They may also qualify for after-school reading instruction and summer reading school.
Parent Communication:
- The district will notify parents/guardians of student reading levels and testing results.
- If a third-grade student continues to show a reading deficiency, parents will be advised of the deficiency, provided services, and notified that the student will be retained if adequate progress is not made.
- Parents will also receive information on actions they can take at home to support reading achievement.
- Parents/guardians with questions about their child’s reading progress are encouraged to contact their child’s teacher or principal.
Arrival and Departure for Students
Upper Elementary

Attendance Policy
Regular attendance is crucial for school success. The school board policy requires all students to be in attendance at least 90% of the time to be eligible for promotion.
State Law on School Attendance (70-10-105)
- It is unlawful for a parent of a child aged 5 to 18 to neglect or refuse to cause or compel such child to attend school and comply with its rules. Failure to do so can result in court action.
- It is unlawful for a child over 16 and under 18 to refuse to attend school and comply with its rules unless they have completed 4 years of high school or signed an attendance waiver (granted only in extreme cases).
Good attendance is essential. Students entering during a semester must provide an attendance record from their previous school.
Student Absences (70-10-106)
- A full attendance record is kept by the school.
- Parents must notify the school about the causes of an absence.
- If not notified, the school will attempt to notify the parent of the absence.
Oklahoma School Attendance Law Summary: "If a child is absent four or more days or parts of days within a four-week period, or is absent without valid excuse for ten (10) or more days or parts of days within a semester, the attendance officer shall notify the parent of the child and immediately report such absences to the district attorney in the county wherein the school is located for juvenile proceedings pursuant to Title 10 of the Oklahoma Statutes. Furthermore, any person having control of a child between five (5) and eighteen (18) years of age is required to compel that child to attend school. Failure to do so may result in fines up to one hundred dollars ($100) and/or imprisonment.”
Absences and Tardies
- The school day begins at 8:00 AM. Students must be present and ready to begin.
- Habitual lateness or absence will result in a letter sent home and kept on file. Continued issues will lead to attendance records being turned over to the Roger’s County District Attorney for Truancy Court.
- To report an absence: Please call the attendance office or send a note on the day of absence or return.
- Upper Elementary Attendance: 443-6000, ext. 6041
- Presence for Attendance Count: Students must be present for two hours during the morning session to be counted present (otherwise, it's a half-day a.m. absence). The same applies to the p.m. session.
- Tardies: Students arriving between 8:00 AM and 8:50 AM, or checking out early between 2:00 PM and 2:50 PM, will be counted as tardy.
- Five tardies will result in an assigned absence.
- Repeated tardiness and/or absences will involve communication with school administration and local law enforcement.
- Distance/Virtual Learning Attendance: Determined by log-ins, assignment completion, and communication with the teacher.
Withdrawal from School
When withdrawing a student, the student and parents/guardians must report to the enrollment office on the last official day. A withdrawal form will be provided, which the student takes to each teacher for "clearance" (returning property, paying fines, completing work). The form is then returned to the office for a parent's signature. Records will not be released to the new school until all books, property, fines, and fees are cleared. Transcripts are sent once the student is "cleared." Student records cannot be obtained by anyone other than an educational institution without a parent/guardian signed release form.
Checking Out or Leaving Campus
- Students leaving school during the day for any reason must be checked out through the elementary office by their parent or guardian.
- Checking out by phone is not allowed.
- Students will not be released from their classroom until the office notifies them their parent/guardian is present.
- Students returning before school dismisses must check in at the elementary office.
- Students checked out for an on-campus activity are considered absent from class.
- Early check-outs may result in a tardy or absence, depending on missed class time.
- No student from either elementary school is allowed to leave campus unattended and walk to another location after being checked out or at the end of the day.
- Students are not able to walk to another on-campus location without express permission from the building principal.
Trespassing or Loitering
Trespassers and loiterers are not tolerated. All visitors must report to the front office for approval to be on campus. The Principal or designee has authority to grant approval. If approval is not granted, the person(s) must leave immediately and are subject to arrest if they refuse. Suspended students, dropouts, and non-students are not allowed on campus or at extra-curricular activities and are subject to arrest if in violation.
School Policies & Student Life
To ensure a productive and safe learning environment, Oologah-Talala Elementary Schools have established the following policies and guidelines.
Classroom Parties
All grades will have two class parties: Fall and Valentine’s Day. Individual birthday celebrations are not allowed for students. The building will celebrate all students’ birthdays each month, with snacks provided by the office.
Fundraising
All fundraising activities must be approved by the Principal.
- Only school-sponsored fundraising activities will be approved.
- Sales can only take place before or after school.
- Sponsors should issue receipts for money received if the amount is greater than ten dollars; for less than ten dollars, a cash roster sheet can be used.
Student Personal Items & Communication

They must remain off and stored away during the school day, unless arranged with the teacher or principal. Conflicts may result in loss of privilege or disciplinary action. The school is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged items. School employees can confiscate devices at any time if procedures are not followed and bring them to the principal.
- Telephone (Office Phones): For school business; students may use only with office staff permission. Please ensure your child knows their pick-up or bus plans before arriving at school. Last-minute instructions cause issues. If you must notify your child of a plan change, call the Elementary Office before 2:00 PM; messages received after 2:00 PM may not reach your child before dismissal.
- Student Cell Phones: Personal cell phones and electronic devices must be turned off and stored in a backpack or locker during the school day. If brought to school, they remain off and stored. If a phone/device interferes with the school environment, it is subject to confiscation by faculty and will be turned into the principal. Parents/guardians are responsible for picking up confiscated items from administration. The school is not responsible for lost or stolen cell phones or personal electronic devices.

For the safety of all students and staff, pets or live animals are not allowed on school grounds.
Gum
Gum chewing is not permitted at school. This policy is in place to prevent issues such as gum sticking to floors, furniture, clothing, and hair.

- Smaller items will be kept in the main office.

Sexual Harassment Policy
Our school district is committed to providing a safe and respectful environment, forbidding discrimination or harassment against any student based on sex. The Oologah-Talala Board of Education will not tolerate sexual harassment by any employees or students. This policy applies to all students and employees, including non-employee volunteers working under the control of school personnel.
- Definition: For this policy, sexual harassment includes verbal or physical sexual advances (including subtle pressure for sexual activity), touching, pinching, patting, brushing against, comments regarding physical or personality characteristics of a sexual nature, and sexually-oriented "kidding," "teasing," double meanings, and jokes.
- Reporting, Investigations, and Sanctions: It is our express policy to encourage student victims of sexual harassment to come forward with claims, which can be done through the Sexual Discrimination Grievance Policy.
- How to Report: Students who feel subjected to sexual harassment by administrators, supervisors, support personnel, teachers, or other students are encouraged to report these conditions to the appropriate administrator or teacher. If the immediate administrator or teacher is the alleged offending person, the report should be made to the next higher level of administration or supervision or to any responsible adult.
- Consequences: Any student found to have engaged in sexual harassment will be subject to sanctions, including, but not limited to, warning, suspension, or other appropriate punishment, in accordance with procedural and due process requirements.
Bullying Policy
Bullying is defined as any pattern of harassment, intimidation, threatening behavior, physical acts, or verbal or electronic communication directed toward a student or group of students, or about a student or group of students. This behavior must result in, or be reasonably perceived as being done with the intent to cause, negative educational or physical results for the targeted individual or group, and must be communicated in a way that disrupts or interferes with the school’s educational mission or the education of any student.
Cafeteria Rules
To ensure a positive dining experience for everyone, students must observe the following rules in the cafeteria:
- Do not bring books or other items to the cafeteria.
- Always walk in the cafeteria.
- Do not cut in line. Saving places or giving "ups" is not permitted.
- Sharing lunches is not allowed.
- Students are encouraged to bring healthy food and drinks. Please do not send soda for breakfast or lunch.
- Students must remain in their chosen seat until the lunch period is over.
- Do not throw food.
- When finished, students must throw away their trash and return their trays.
- After returning to their table, students must remain seated until dismissed by a faculty member.
- Do not take food or drinks from the cafeteria.
- Parents or guardians may bring lunch for their child, but only for their child.
Student Searches
When there is reasonable suspicion to search a student on school premises, in transit to or from a school event under school authority, or attending any school district-sponsored function, such a search may be conducted by an administrator or their designee.
Students have no reasonable expectation of privacy regarding the contents of a school locker, desk, or other school property. School lockers, desks, and other areas of school facilities may be opened and examined by school officials at any time without a reason for such a search.
Transportation
Students need a consistent method of transportation for arrival and dismissal. While emergencies happen, it's important that each child knows how they're getting home each day. If a change in transportation is necessary, parents must contact the office before 2:00 PM on that day. No transportation changes will be allowed after this time to ensure office personnel and teachers have time to communicate the change and ensure the child understands their transportation plan.
Bus Conduct
Riding the bus is a privilege and an extension of the classroom (School Law Article IX, Section 9-101). Students are urged to regard the bus as a classroom in terms of conduct. Safety is always paramount.
The bus driver is a school official and has the same authority as a classroom teacher over the students in their care.
For their own safety and protection, students are expected to observe these rules at all times while riding the bus:
- Remain seated at all times while the bus is in transit.
- Be on time at bus stops. Always pass in front of the bus; never walk behind it.
- Refrain from eating and drinking on the bus.
- Refrain from scuffling and keep all parts of the body inside the bus at all times.
- Remember, loud talking and laughing divert the driver’s attention and may result in an accident.
- Stay completely silent at Railroad crossings.
- No profanity, vulgar language, or name-calling.
- Keep hands and feet to yourself.
- Riding a school bus is a privilege and may be temporarily or permanently removed for not abiding by the rules.
- Maintain possession of lunches, books, and other articles, and keep the aisles clean at all times.
- Never throw objects on the bus.
- Students are not allowed to ride any bus other than the one assigned.
- Balloons and glass objects are not allowed on the bus.
- Transportation is not provided for Pre-K students.
Walking – Bicycles
Elementary students in grades PreK-5 are not allowed to walk or ride a bicycle to or from school. Children in Kindergarten through 5th grade have the privilege of riding the bus.
Playground Rules
One or more classroom teachers per grade will supervise students on the playground. Safety and fun are our priorities.
- Follow the teacher's directions.
- Use equipment properly.
- Stay within the designated playground area at all times. The porch and areas between buildings are not part of the playground.
- When on recess, students must have permission from the playground teacher before entering the building.
- Stay on asphalt during wet and muddy weather.
- Keep your hands and feet to yourself.
- Play nicely. Please do not:
- Play chase or contact games.
- Wrestle, fight, or shove.
- Engage in swearing, teasing, name-calling, or rude gestures.
- Throw objects, rocks, sand, dirt, etc.
- Bring any objects to the playground not approved by the teacher (this includes footballs, baseballs, soccer balls, toys from home, or school supplies).
- Wipe feet when entering the building.
Any action or activity deemed unsafe by the playground supervisor is grounds for losing all or part of recess privileges.
Control & Discipline
A teacher of a child attending a public school has the same right as a parent to control and discipline such child during the time the child is in attendance, in transit to the school, or in a classroom presided over by the teacher. (Article VI, Sec. 95, 1971, Oklahoma School Law)
Student Discipline Policy
Learning proper behavior, cooperation, respect, and self-discipline are crucial for a person's educational development. Without these characteristics, it's challenging to maintain the proper attitude for intellectual growth. The school's responsibility, as part of the total educational process, is to assist students in developing self-discipline. This sometimes means students need to understand that consequences exist for inappropriate or abnormal behavior that interferes with the educational process.
The faculty and administration will consider the following corrective actions, though this list is not exhaustive, nor does it imply a required order of events. The Board of Education relies on the administrator's judgment to determine the appropriate action for each instance:
- Conference with student
- Conference with parents
- In-school suspension: Students will attend school but be isolated or restricted from the main daily routine.
- Detention: Students may be required to give up time during or after school.
- Referral to a counselor (may involve a teacher, counselor, or administrator).
- Behavioral contract
- Work assignments (consistent with goals for improved behavior).
- Changing student’s seat or class assignment.
- Requiring financial restitution for damaged property.
- Requiring a student to clean or straighten items or facilities damaged by their behavior.
- Restriction of privileges: Includes loss of lockers, specials, field trips, parties, swimming, or any activity where self-control is necessary for student safety.
- Involvement of local authorities.
- Referring a student to the appropriate social agency.
- Suspension: The principal has the authority to suspend any student who violates school rules, whether in transit to or from school, during the school day, or at school-related activities. We adhere to the Oologah-Talala School Board's discipline policy, a complete copy of which is available on the district website.
Habitual Offender Policy
Habitual offenders are students who repeatedly violate school rules and policies, having been subject to multiple disciplinary consequences in an attempt to correct their behavior. Such students will be subject to Long Term Out of School Suspension.
Weapons-Free Schools Policy
Our school district fully complies with the Gun-Free Schools Act.
Any student who uses or possesses a firearm (as defined by Title 18 of the United States Code, Section 921) at school, any school-sponsored event, or on school property (including transportation) will face discipline. This includes:
- Any weapon (including starter guns) designed to expel a projectile by explosion.
- The frame or receiver of such a weapon.
- Firearm mufflers or silencers.
- Destructive devices like bombs, grenades, rockets, missiles, mines, or similar devices.
Such firearms or weapons will be confiscated and released only to proper legal authorities.
Oklahoma Statutes, Title 21, Section 1280.1 prohibits any person (except a peace officer or authorized personnel) from possessing any weapon on public or private school property or on school transportation. This includes:
- Pistols, revolvers, daggers, Bowie knives, dirk knives, switchblade knives, spring-type knives, sword canes, knives with automatic opening blades, blackjacks, loaded canes, billy clubs, hand chains, metal knuckles, or any other offensive weapon.
Any student violating this policy will be subject to discipline, which may include:

- Suspension for any term less than one calendar year for weapons other than firearms, as determined by the superintendent or their designee.
School Drug Policy
The school prohibits students from using, possessing, furnishing, distributing, selling, conspiring to sell or possess, or being in the chain of sale or distribution of controlled dangerous substances.
Students Transporting Onto Campus, Buying, or Selling Controlled Dangerous Substances:
Any student found transporting onto campus, buying, or selling a controlled dangerous substance while attending any school-sponsored event, in transit to or from such an event, or on school premises may be subject to the following disciplinary action:
- 1st Offense: 8 weeks out-of-school suspension.
- 2nd Offense: Suspension from school for up to 18 weeks.
The Administration reserves the right to consider early reinstatement for first-time offenders if a student completes a drug/alcohol counseling program and provides a negative drug test by a specified date. Counseling programs and drug testing will be at the parent/guardian's expense. The school district will involve the police in every incident where there has been a violation of the law.
Students in Possession of or Under the Influence of Alcoholic Beverages and/or Controlled Dangerous Substances and/or Inhalants:

Tobacco/Vaping Policy
The Board of Education asserts that tobacco/vaping use is harmful to an individual’s health and is unlawful for students under the age of 18. Students are not allowed to possess tobacco, imitation tobacco, or vapor products in school buildings, on school grounds, or on school buses. This rule applies to any school-sponsored activity on or off campus.
Any student found in possession of tobacco, imitation tobacco, or vapor products while attending any school-sponsored event, traveling on district-provided transportation, or on school premises will be subject to the following disciplinary action:

Notice of Compliance: AHERA
This notice confirms that Oologah-Talala Public Schools complies with regulations established by AHERA (Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act). This act requires schools serving kindergarten through high school students to identify and either remove or safely maintain asbestos materials in facility structures.
Tests conducted in 1988 by a licensed laboratory revealed asbestos materials in several areas of our facility. None of these pose a hazard to any student or employee and are being maintained in a way that ensures they will not become a hazard in the future. Staff members have been trained in appropriate maintenance procedures to assure the safety of all who use this facility.
If you have questions, please contact the Office of the Superintendent. A copy of the management plan is also available in the office.
Health and Personal Information
Health Room
A school health care assistant is on duty during regular school hours to address emergencies and assist children who become ill at school. In emergencies, they will try to contact parents using information from the Student Health Record. A Registered Nurse from Roger’s County Health Dept. is available by phone to school health care assistants during school hours.
COVID-19 Guidelines
The safety of our students and staff is paramount. We have implemented procedures to help alleviate the effects of COVID-19 at OLE and OUE. The following guidelines will be followed:

For more comprehensive information on our district’s response to COVID-19, please see the OTPS COVID-19 Response Guide.
Medication at School
By Oklahoma State Law, the school nurse or other designated school employee may administer prescription and non-prescription medication during the school day. We encourage giving medicines at home whenever possible to minimize disruption to the school day. However, if your physician orders prescribed medicine to be administered during regular school hours, compliance with the following instructions is required:
- Prescription medication must be in its current prescription vial.
- Non-prescription medication must be in its original container.
- No medication will be given unless it's in its proper container. Do not send medication in an envelope, wrapped in foil or tissue, in a baggie, a miscellaneous bottle, or any other improper container.
- Non-prescription medication will not be given for more than two weeks without written authorization from a physician.
Written or verbal parental/guardian permission must accompany the medication, indicating:
- Student’s name
- Name of medication
- Amount to be given
- Time to be given
- Parent/Guardian signature
- Physician's name
Important Delivery & Pick-up Information:
- All medication must be brought to the office or nurse by a parent or guardian. Do not send any medication with students on the bus.
- Controlled substances must be brought to the nurse by the student’s parent/guardian. Students cannot transport controlled medicine. Parents will be contacted when the supply is low.
- Unused controlled substance medications and/or over-the-counter medications will not be sent home with a student. A parent or legal guardian must pick it up at the nurse’s office. All unclaimed medication will be disposed of at the end of the school year.
- Your pharmacist can often provide an extra prescription bottle/container for school purposes if needed; ask for one when you obtain your prescription.
- Send only enough medicine for school use; keep the rest at home.
- An initial dosage of medication will not be given at school in case of an allergic reaction.
- The school does not provide cough drops/cough medicine, or non-aspirin/Tylenol products for students.
Remember: Any medication (prescription or non-prescription) not in its original container will not be given at school.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. These procedures are in place for the protection of your child and all students at Oologah-Talala Schools.
Contagious Illness or Conditions
State law prohibits students with contagious conditions from attending school until they can present certification from a health professional. Students returning to school after a contagious illness or condition must be approved by the school nurse before attending class.
Illness or Injury
If your child is ill, it is best for them to remain at home. If your child becomes ill at school, you will be notified. Parents are asked to complete all pertinent health information on an emergency information form. These forms are kept in the office for immediate use, and we ask for your help in keeping them accurate and up to date.
Immunization Requirements for 2022-2023
Students are required to submit updated vaccination records for enrollment at various times throughout their school career. Parents who wish to opt their child out of vaccinations should contact Shonna Kubien, the school nurse, at (918) 443-6000, ext. 6041.

General Health Considerations
- Any child with a temperature above 100.4°F will be excluded from school. Children must be fever-free for 24 hours without the aid of fever-reducing medications before returning to school. Any child sent home with a fever may not return to school the day they are sent home or the following school day, unless special exceptions are made by the nurse.
- Any child with an unidentified rash needs to be seen by a physician and will be excluded from school until the rash is cleared or written notification from a physician is obtained.
- Medications (prescription and non-prescription) to be given three times a day should be given in the morning, after school, and at bedtime, unless otherwise advised by a physician.
- If your child has special health needs at school, please contact the school nurse in advance.
- Please keep your contact information updated. We need to be able to contact parents for emergencies and urgent health needs.
- Any child who is sent home vomiting may not return to school the day they are sent home or the following school day, unless special exceptions are made by the nurse.
Snacks
Any food items brought to school for distribution to students must be store-bought and arrive in their original packaging. No 'homemade' food items will be distributed. Individual birthday celebrations are not allowed for students. The building will celebrate all students’ birthdays each month, with snacks provided by the office.

Child Identification, Location, Screening, and Evaluation Notice
This notice is to inform parents about the child identification, location, screening, and evaluation activities conducted throughout the year by the local school district in coordination with the Oklahoma State Department of Education. Personally identifiable information will be collected and maintained confidentially during these activities.
Referral
Preschool children ages 3-5 and students enrolled in K-12 who are suspected of having disabilities that may require special and related services can be referred for screening and evaluation through their local schools. Local school districts and the Regional Education Service Centers coordinate with the Sooner Start Early Intervention Program for referrals to identify and evaluate infants and toddlers (birth through 2 years) who may be eligible for early intervention services or for special education and related services starting at 3 years of age. The Oklahoma Areawide Service Information System (OASIS) also provides statewide information and referrals to local schools and other service providers via a toll-free number (1-800-42-OASIS).
Screening
Screening activities may include vision, hearing, and general health checks. Other screenings might involve a review of records and educational history, interviews, observations, and specially developed readiness or educational screening instruments. Regional Education Service Centers provide assistance and consultation to local schools for these efforts.
Educational Screening
Educational screening involves procedures for identifying children who may have special learning needs and might be eligible for special education and related services. Every school district in the State provides educational screening. No child will be educationally screened if their parent or legal guardian has filed a written objection with the local school district. Students will be screened as needed or upon request from a parent, legal guardian, or teacher.
Special Education: Evaluation & Child Find
Our commitment extends to identifying and supporting students who may need special education and related services.
Evaluation Process
Evaluation involves specific procedures, in accordance with federal laws and regulations, to determine if a child has a disability and what special education and related services they require. These procedures are used selectively for individual children and do not include general tests administered to all students.
Prior to any initial evaluation, we require written consent from the parent or legal guardian to be on file with the local school district.
Child Find Notice
Child Find is a crucial component of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). It is an ongoing process aimed at locating, identifying, and evaluating children who may need special education and related services.
- All children with disabilities residing in the Oologah-Talala Public School District, whether attending public or private schools, should be identified, located, and evaluated.
- This service is provided to children with suspected disabilities, free of charge.
For more information on Child Find, please contact the Oologah-Talala Public Schools, Department of Special Education at 443-6047.
Collection of Personally Identifiable Information
Educational records containing personally identifiable information, collected by schools for identification, location, screening, and evaluation of children, are maintained in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). School districts develop and implement local policies regarding the collection, storage, disclosure, and destruction of confidential student records. Parents may obtain a copy of the local policy from the local school district’s administrator.
As parents and children, you have the following rights regarding personally identifiable information under FERPA:
- To inspect the student's education records.
- To request the amendment of education records to ensure they are not inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of the student's privacy or other rights.
- To consent to disclose education records, except where consent is not required to authorize disclosure.
- To file complaints with the Family Policy and Regulations Office, United States Department of Education, Washington, D.C. 20202, concerning alleged violations of FERPA requirements (34CFR§99.1-99.67).
- To obtain a copy of the FERPA policy adopted by the local school district upon request to the local school administrator.
Before any major identification, location, or evaluation, schools will provide notice to parents. Accommodations for other languages or means of communication may be provided upon request. This notice will occur at least annually prior to conducting these activities and will include the rights of parents under FERPA.
For further information, contact the elementary school counselor at 443-6042 (Upper Elementary) or 443-6141 (Lower Elementary).
Public Complaints Policy
The Oologah-Talala Board of Education has established a policy to provide a clear and accessible way for school employees, students, or school patrons to voice complaints or concerns about any aspect of the educational program. Our goal is to resolve school-related problems simply, straightforwardly, and as quickly and fairly as possible, at the lowest appropriate level.
Types of Complaints
You may submit either a formal or informal complaint.

Informal Complaints:
- These are generally less serious and often stem from misunderstandings or communication issues.
- They can frequently be resolved by discussing the matter directly with the involved parties.
- Informal complaints can be made orally or in writing.
- If about a school employee, direct the complaint to that employee first. If unsatisfied, you may then submit a formal or informal complaint.
- If about something other than an employee's action, direct it to the appropriate building-level principal.
- Decisions regarding informal complaints are given orally.
-
Formal Complaints:
- These are often more serious, and the complainant typically intends to pursue all options for a favorable resolution.
- If about a school employee, the employee will be notified by the principal and given a copy of the formal complaint as soon as possible.
- All formal complaints must be made in writing and follow the procedures outlined in this policy.
- Decisions regarding formal complaints will be made in writing, with copies provided to all involved parties.
Complaint Procedures

Prohibition of Race and Sex Discrimination in Curriculum & Complaint Process
The Board of Education mandates that neither the district nor any employee shall teach or include in a course (including training, seminars, professional development, lectures, sessions, coaching, tutoring, or any other class) for students or employees the following discriminatory principles:

- Identify the dates the alleged discriminatory act occurred.
- Explain the alleged violation/discriminatory conduct and how items 1-8 were violated.
