Dear Students, Parents, and Guardians,
As you know, our school has followed the new state-mandated cell phone policy this year, which requires phones to remain secured and unused during the school day from 7:30 a.m. to 3:20 p.m. This rule also applies during school activities, sporting events, bus rides, field trips, and any other school-sponsored events held during the school day.
Despite reminders and the use of YONDR pouches, many students continue to violate this policy. Because of ongoing misuse, the school will no longer permit students to bring cell phones to school for the remainder of the school year.
Beginning January 5th, students will not be allowed to have a cell phone on campus. If a student needs to contact a parent, they may visit the front office to use the school phone. Parents may also call the office to relay messages to their child.
We attempted to maintain student possession of phones through the YONDR pouch system, but continued violations have resulted in this privilege being removed. Any phone brought to school after January 5th will be confiscated, and a parent or guardian will be required to pick it up from the office.
We appreciate your understanding and support as we work to maintain a safe and distraction-free learning environment.
Sincerely,
School Administration

Thank you Mrs. Merriott for organizing this wonderful event!
It is getting the time! Bus snow route!
Four of our classrooms earned a tremendous honor by winning the Oklahoma Statewide Amira Reading Tailgate Challenge! Congratulations to Mrs. Braden’s class, Ms. Buchmann’s class, Mrs. Davis’ class, and Mrs. Swepston’s class for their outstanding dedication to reading and hard work throughout the challenge. Each of these classrooms will receive a gift card from Amira to host their very own classroom celebration. We are incredibly proud of our students and teachers for their commitment to literacy and for representing our school so well!
On December 10th, we will have picture retakes and group sports photos. Individual sports photos can be taken, but only with pre-payment. Pre-payment forms will be sent home on Tuesday, December 2nd, and need to be returned by December 8th.
Thanksgiving dinner was wonderful for our students to enjoy the time with their families! Thank you to those who came out and thank you to our wonderful cooks!
We promote reading every chance we get. Book buddies in after school is a hit!
Don’t forget our Thanksgiving Dinner is tomorrow!

The 1st and 2nd grades completed a five week Amira challenge and were rewarded with an ice cream party! Congratulations!
Our own Katie Armstrong was recognized with a certificate for being the best unit director! She has been with Dahlonegah's program since we started and she is wonderful! Congratulations Katie! She does so much for our after school students. She also makes sure they get home safely! Thank you!
Dahlonegah's Unit was presented with the safest unit award by the boys and girls club!
Family engagement was WILD!
Family engagement fun!
Family Engagement is getting ready to start!
More fun from the Museum!
The 3rd–8th grade Gifted and Talented students were able to attend the U.S. Marshals Museum in Fort Smith, Arkansas today. Students engaged in hands-on investigations, explored interactive exhibits, and learned about the history and responsibilities of the U.S. Marshals Service. They had the opportunity to participate in immersive activities that deepened their understanding of law enforcement, justice, and historical events. It was an exciting and educational experience that brought learning to life in a meaningful way.
Book buddies today! Thank you Clyde and Zed for reading to our littles! They love it!
We celebrated our Students of the Month for following Habit 1 in the Leader in Me Program. This habit is being Proactive- Responsible, taking initiative, choosing their actions, attitude and moods and not blaming others for their actions, making good responsible choices without being asked, and when no one was looking! We are so proud of each and every one of you! Enjoy your pizza party!
Don’t forget! Family Engagement Night is this Wednesday, November 19. Join us for a great evening of learning and fun!
We launched our Book Buddy program today, and the students loved it! Older students were able to read to the younger ones, making it a fun and meaningful experience for everyone.
