Help PTO Stock the Lounge
Hello Cheyenne Families!
Because our amazing teachers and staff take such good care of our students, once again, our PTO would like to help keep them energized with coffee and treats to stock the teacher’s lounge. However, the only way we can do that is with your help!
The SignUpGenius attached lists the items that have been a hit in the past. Would you consider donating at this time? Sam’s and Costco are great options if you’d like to buy in bulk! But smaller packs are great as well.
NOTE: Donations will accepted through March 15 so we can honor the office staff's time and space.
It's so easy:
- Sign up for what you'd like to donate to the teachers' lounge by using the choices on the SignUpGenius.
- Between Monday, March 4th and Friday, March 15th, drop off your items labeled as “LOUNGE DONATION” at the front office (or have your student drop them off there).
- Give yourself a high five for being awesome!
I'll take it from there!
Here is the link to sign up: SignUp Here!
Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions. My email is amydbaskin@gmail.com.
With Gratitude,
Amy Baskin

Welcome Back Reminders
We hope your family had a wonderful Holiday Break. Now that we are returning to our regular schedules and routines, we may face some challenges. However, we can overcome these challenges by reminding ourselves of the Cheyenne PRIDE Expectations, district policies, and school guidelines. You can find all the necessary details and reminders below this message.
Here are some additional things to keep in mind:
-Recess- We will go outside as long as the temperature and wind chill are not below freezing.
-Charge Chromebooks- Please remember to charge it every night.
-Attendance Matters- Please be on time for school. Advisory is a class, and attending all courses on time is important to learning.
No Food In Class
Outside food and drink will need to be taken care of before attending to class.
Only water in resuable bottles.
No phones 7:10-2:20
ID Worn Everyday
print up to 3 stickers before receiving a new ID and $5 charged to their student account
Cheyenne Reminders
- School Supplies: We are collect school supplies. If you purchased items please send them with students to school. We appreciate it. We are in need of tissues and pencils.
Refillable Water Bottles: Students may also carry a refillable water container. It is important to put their name on the container. Refillable water containers should not contain other liquids. Do not send squeeze bottles or disposable bottled water. Students arriving to school with outside drinks will be asked to finish them in the office or cafeteria before reporting to class. We have had too many spills and disruptions involving squeeze water bottles, bottled water, outside drinks, and drinks other than water.
Water only allowed in classrooms- we do not allow outside drinks in the classrooms. Please be sure to enjoy your gatorade, starbucks, dutch brothers, sonic, etc. before entering the building. Students will be asked to finish their drink before attending to class.
Food: Breakfast and lunch are available for purchase each day in the cafeteria. We also have a snack bar with additional items for purchase. We do not allow Door Dash items, group lunches, or deliveries. Students arriving at school with outside breakfast items will be asked to remain in the office or cafeteria to complete them before reporting to class. Students should not bring full-size bags of food to school.
Classrooms are a no-food zone. Exceptions will be made for class or school activities. Students may bring their lunch in a lunchbox or disposable containers. Student names should be written inside lunchboxes for easy identification.
Dress Code Reminders
*Wear Layers, temperatures vary by class and outdoors, blankets are not allowed, hoods and hats are off inside the building
The dress code policy of Edmond Public Schools is available here. We need your help to ensure students follow it. Diagrams provide examples of appropriate and inappropriate attire. We have been lenient for two days, but next week students violating the policy will be directed to speak with an administrator to make adjustments. These could include using available clothing options or calling home for someone to bring clothing. If we are unable to get a clothing change, an alternative placement for school work will be provided.
