On this #takecaretuesday we want to highlight our Spartan Therapy Dogs who frequently visit our 9th-12th grade students. Studies show that dogs improve overall health and well-being by reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. Our students sure think so, too. They often say “dog days are the best days!” A huge thanks to Comfort Canines of Tulsa, and our volunteer handlers for their support of Bixby students! Be well, Spartans! #nationaldogday
It's #ThankYouThursday, Spartans, and "thank you" just is not sufficient in this scenario.
At tonight's Board of Education Meeting, Bridge the Gap presented the district with a check for TWO. HUNDRED. THOUSAND. DOLLARS.
What a testament to the incredible community we have here in Bixby! A team of 29 volunteers and a room full of 500+ Spartan supporters raised these funds which will go directly back to classrooms!
We cannot wait to share with you the difference this will make in our schools!

It's #ThankYouThursday, Spartans and this one goes out to our BPS Transportation Department! They have recently started a new program to recognize students for being kind, following directions, and being a safe and responsible bus rider! We love seeing the impact this has on our students and one more reason to celebrate them is always a great idea!

On this #TakeCareTuesday we acknowledge the tragedy in Nashville and want to share some important talking tips with children related to violence. To subside fears, adults can provide a sense of felt safety by listening and being present, providing reassurance, security, routine and sharing developmentally appropriate details. These key points from NASP can help parents and all adults navigate this difficult topic.
Summer school registration is now open for current 8th thru 12th graders. Click the link for more information:

It's #ThankYouThursday, Spartans and this one goes out to our wonderful maintenance and facilities team!
Last weekend marked National Maintenance Worker Appreciation Day and we have spent the week celebrating these hard-working Spartans!
Each site/department was given a member of the crew to honor and spoil with their favorite things! Today, we surprised them, took an opportunity to say "thank you" and remind them we couldn't do what we do every day without this small but mighty team! Their efforts may happen mostly behind the scenes but they are noticed and felt on every campus and in every classroom.

Spartans,
Do you have questions or wish to have a better understanding of school funding and finance? Have you ever wondered…how does the purchase of that new scoreboard or other athletic upgrade affect teacher pay? Why do we need another bond issue and will it impact my property taxes? How is our state aid determined? How can I help advocate for smaller class sizes? How would vouchers impact our school district's financial status?
Join us for a series of panel sessions, open to our entire community, to learn the basics of Oklahoma school finance and understand how decisions at the Capitol impact our classrooms in BPS. This is also an opportunity to engage with local legislators on these important topics.
Dates:

3/24: Teacher Pay & Class Sizes
Time: 9:45-10:45 AM
