Come by and meet your teacher and new friends, drop off your school supplies, visit the community organizations, join PTA and pick up your online preordered t-shirts in the cafeteria.
Class lists will be posted on the outside front windows at 5:00.
Doors will open at 5:30.
Welcome Back to School!
- Truman Primary doors open at 7:25- upon their arrival students need to go to the gym or cafeteria where there is supervision until the bell rings at 7:40- students and families should wait in these areas each day and not go in the classroom hallways until then- breakfast will be served in the cafeteria beginning at 7:30.
Learning starts at 7:50
- The north and south doors are locked after 7:50 so if your child is arriving after 7:50 please enter the front doors and check in at the office
- NorthHaven PreK students may be dropped off starting at 7:40- Learning starts at 8:05 for our off site students at NorthHaven
- Please review your traffic pattern maps you received at enrollment and Monday at Back to School Night to familiarize yourself with our traffic flow before and after school- on both the north and sounds sides it's... 1 lane in the morning, 2 lanes in the afternoon
- Front oval of the building is for bus and daycare drop off only or if your family has made special arrangements with administration
- Student dismissal signs are an expectation for the safety of your child. If in a car, please display so the staff outside can see student name and grade- if you choose to walk up to get your child, please wait behind the blocked off area so teachers can get the students settled and safe- it is difficult to keep the students supervised when parents are standing right at the door so we ask that you stand back until they are ready to be dismissed to you- again, dismissal signs are an expectation even if you are walking up to get your student
- We need to keep the traffic flowing each direction on Meadow Ridge Rd- please do not park and get out of your car on this street as it is difficult for cars and busses to go around you
- NorthHaven PreK dismissal is at 3:05
Traffic will be full and we understand the frustration you might have as you wait in line. Student safety is our top priority at arrival and dismissal times so we ask that you be patient, stay off your cell phones and be aware of the process. If you are interested in assisting with arrival or dismissal anytime, please contact the Truman Primary office.
We Need YOU!
Please join PTA...we need you! There are many opportunities to get involved in the school and you will meet many wonderful adults who work hard for our kids!

Again this school year, Thursday Folders will be used exclusively for academic information specific to your child. School news and community events will be shared electronically through a new communication tool known as “Peachjar.”
This environmentally friendly initiative will reduce paper consumption and reduce expenses for our schools. Additionally, the electronic communication platform removes a significant burden from teachers, office staff and volunteers.
No action is required on your part. To view school-approved digital flyers, visit www.normanpublicschools.org/peachjar, download the Norman Public School District mobile app or simply click the Peachjar button on your school’s website homepage.
You will also receive a welcome email from Peachjar that includes a username and password. This is provided to give you the opportunity to manage your account and flyer delivery preferences. However, you do not need to login to receive or view school digital flyers.
To ensure smooth delivery of this communication, we suggest you add school@peachjar.comto your email contacts. When you receive your first eflyer, be sure to click “always display images.” This system is used exclusively for distribution of school-approved flyers. Your email address will not be shared or used by Peachjar for any other purpose.
Thank you for supporting our efforts to ensure parents are well informed about community programs, activities, and events.
