Learning Pathway Change Spring 2021(Due Nov 2.)
Here is a google form to complete if you are interested in changing your students learning pathway for Spring of 2021. YOU DO NOT NEED TO FILL OUT THIS FORM IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO CHANGE LEARNING PATHWAYS. This would mean moving between:
1. Traditional/AABBR/Remote(based on Covid numbers in Oklahoma County)
2. Blended
3. Full Virtual
We will do our best to accommodate all requests but depending on class sizes and course offerings we may not be able to fulfill all requests. You only need to complete this form if you are wanting to change pathways. If you want to remain with your current pathway and schedule you do not need to do anything. If you have multiple children at the high school who are wanting to change, please fill out the form once for each child.
If you have questions your child's counselor is the best person to ask.

Parent Guide to Resiliency
WhyTry, one of my favorite programs, is offering their Parent Guide to Resiliency, free to our parents!! This is an incredible gift!! I believe that building resiliency in our children is the most important learning tool we can give them. It is right up there with building intrinsic motivation. Kids have to be able to hit a wall and have the strength to figure out how to go through it, over it, around it, etc. Too many of our kiddos just give up and walk away. Resiliency, more than any other executive skill, determines the difference between success and failure. This is true whether you are talking about academics, sports, or life. Please, take advantage of this opportunity to help your child build resilience during this time when we could all use it!

Deer Creek Communication Platform
Deer Creek School District is embarking on a new communication platform to include a Deer Creek App that is designed to enable parents, staff and students to stay informed and up-to-date on events, important issues, general information, emergency notifications and site based activities. The Deer Creek App will work conjointly with the SchoolMessenger App (registration only required one time) as a notification system. Once a parent has registered with the SchoolMessenger App, they will only need to use the Deer Creek App for all things Deer Creek!
