Bixby 9th Grade Center

Thank you show much to the upperclassmen for showing so much kindness to the incoming 9th Graders as they started their first day of high school! They welcomed each student as they were dropped off or got off the bus. We have the BEST kids!

A couple of announcements: Doors will open at 8:20am. For security please do not drop students off before that time. Students will wait in the cafeteria until school starts. Also, please check out the link below for our pick up/ drop off procedures. http://5il.co/4b9j
