Mission Statement
News from the Principal
I am excited to share upcoming improvements on our campus. As you will recall, our Auction funds raised from this year's auction were to be allocated to campus security enhancements. These updates will begin within the next few weeks.
A campus security assessment was completed by the Oklahoma School Security Institute. The initial recommendations guided our approach to our security update plan. These security upgrades will include both interior and exterior updates. The exterior and interior doors to the school building will be re-keyed using a combination of traditional key locks and controlled access points with proximity readers. We will be replacing the full glass interior door leading into the PAC building with a deadbolt/panic bar door that will remain locked throughout the school day. We will also be adding cameras at the front and west PAC entries of the school. These cameras will have video and voice functionality and allow for two-way voice communication with individuals before entering the school.
These upgrades will enhance safety and security for all individuals on our campus. We are grateful to all who lead auction efforts as well as those who gave so generously to this cause. These enhancements wouldn't be possible without your support!
In Sincere Gratitude,
Natalie Johnson
Principal
We are so excited to ANNOUNCE....
Spirit Night Updates
THANK YOU to all who came out to support SJN at our Chick fil a Spirit Night! We had a great turnout, and we raised $159.39!
Our next spirit night will be on Tuesday 06/27 at Freddie’s Frozen Custard in Yukon!
Funds raised at Spirit Night events will be utilized to offset operating expenses for our auction.
As we look to closing this school year, we are already well into planning for next year. I would like to share opportunities that are currently in need of volunteer coordinators for the upcoming school year. If you have an interest in serving in one of these areas, please contact me. I would love to share details about each commitment. Thank you for sharing your time, talent and treasure at St. John!
