Truman Elementary
Be TRU to Your School!
Congratulations to Lynn Geist for being selected as the 2019-2020 Truman Teacher of the Year!
Attendance Matters
Our Attendance Goal is 95% or Above!
This score does impact our state report, but more importantly, absences (especially chronic, multiple day absences) cause a student to miss valuable instruction. Did you know if a child misses just 2 days a month, they miss 10% of the school year? Things you can do to help us meet our goal are scheduling appointments after school if at all possible, and also avoiding taking vacation time during the school year.

District Update
We are excited to announce that the new iPads and Macbooks, which were funded through the 2019 bond issue, have been distributed in our school. The primary reason we increased the number of devices at the elementary level is to accommodate the new state of Oklahoma mandate that all 3rd through 5th graders test online; however, the devices will used in class to enhance instruction for our students when instructionally / developmentally appropriate. These devices will stay at the school and will not come home with your child. If you have any questions regarding the usage of these instructional tools, please reach out to your principal.

Volunteer Agreement
The district has a new process for those of you willing to help at school. Every parent that wants to volunteer (even for field trips) must fill out this Volunteer Agreement. Please see this link for additional information.
There is also a new process for background checks. If you are required to complete one for volunteering, you will be notified (ex. watchdogs). We will ask for your name and email, and the form will be sent to you electronically to complete.
Have a Great Weekend!
