Message from Mrs. Green
Please take a moment to see some updates for the coming week(s) at Broken Arrow including information that came out about the Boundary Committee Update.
Also, many of you may have seen the news release from Julie Boyle yesterday regarding my position for next school year. I am beyond thrilled to continue to serve the students and families at Broken Arrow through this transition. I am, and will continue to be, here for Broken Arrow! Thank you for your continued support.
Lawrence Public Schools' 2023-2024 Annual Student Registration is now open through April 30th!
Annual Student Registration is required for ALL students, except current seniors graduating this spring. It is separate from middle/high school course enrollment.

It is important that students get a good night's rest and a healthy breakfast to make sure they are ready to show their best. We also do not want these tests to cause any additional stress to students. We are so proud of their growth this school year and all that they have learned and are excited for them to show what they know. If your student is struggling with anxious feelings around this topic, please reach out.

Kindergarten Enrollment Information
We may not know what school looks like for Broken Arrow next year, but 5 year olds will go to kindergarten somewhere! We want our kindergarten families to register early so the district can make plans for next year. Hiring and teacher movement is dependent on the Spring forecast of Kindergarten Enrollment. CLICK HERE TO ACCESS KINDERGARTEN ENROLLMENT INFO!
We will wait to assign schools until boundary changes are finalized and will continue to keep you updated as we know more.
The Transfer Request Form will not be available until boundaries have been finalized. At that time, we will have the new form available at THE LINK HERE

We are focused on COURAGE for the whole month of APRIL. Please check out the resources below for specific activities to complete or discuss with your student(s) at home!
