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:
2/24: Implications of Vouchers
3/10: School Finance 101
3/24: Teacher Pay & Class Sizes
Time: 9:45-10:45 AM
Location: The HUB @ Bixby Metro Chamber of Commerce; 12 W Dawes, Bixby OK
Space is limited so don’t wait to register: bixbyps.info/panelseries

On Monday, West Elementary students were treated to Lyric Theatre's Oklahoma! Interactive performance. It was educational, engaging, and so much fun!
A traveling troupe of actors entertained students as they also educated them by intertwining Oklahoma history throughout the performance. 🤠
Thanks to actors Curly, Lauren, Ado Annie, Will Parker, and Aunt Eller our hallways were buzzing with Oh What a Beautiful Mornin' and Oklahoma! throughout the day. 💙♥️
So excited to announce our very first Bus Riders of the Month! These students were picked by their bus drivers for the month of February for being safe and respectful! Great job to these award winners! 🚌❤️💙
This week was all about celebrating some milestones! We celebrated 100, 101, and 102 days of growing and learning. 💙♥️
West Elementary is overjoyed to announce our Support Staff of the Year is Mrs. Melissa Chittenden! 👏🏻💖

We love you, Melissa! We appreciate you more than words could tell.
Thank you to our amazing School Resource Officers for collecting money for our Special Olympic Athletes to attend the games this spring! ♥️💙
We're so grateful for everyone who is contributing! One more day of the penny drive!
Also, if Officer Adcock happened to promise you first position in car line he was confused! 😂😜
Spread the word...West is looking for another paraprofessional to join our amazing team!
