Good afternoon Oologah parents and guardians,
In light of recent events at other school districts, we will have additional law enforcement presence from both the Roger's County Sheriff's Office and the Town of Oologah Police Department at this Friday's football game. There will also be additional rules and regulations. First, no student backpacks will be allowed in Mustang Stadium. There will be no re-entry once you leave the game and no entry after half-time. Students in grades PreK-8th must be accompanied by an adult and all students should remain in the stands during the game, with the exception of visiting the concession stand and bathrooms. We also request that you do not bring large bags into the stadium or consider bringing bags that are clear. Additional rules will be sent through email and posted on the district website. Please ensure that you have reviewed these precautions prior to coming to Friday night's game.
Thank you for your support and for taking care to observe these rules for the safety of our students, staff, families, and guests.
Due to the recent threats that have taken place at Union Public Schools, we are reaching out in an overabundance of caution to inform you of the security measures we are taking to ensure your child is safe at school. We have been in communication with teachers, staff, upper administration, and law enforcement to ensure extra safety measures are in place. This is not to alarm our students and families, but rather to provide peace of mind in knowing your students are safe and taken care of while they are at school. Although there have not been any immediate threats specifically to Oologah-Talala Public Schools, we will be restricting access to our buildings as well as increasing administrative and security presence in hallways and at recess. As always, please do not hesitate to call the school with any questions or concerns.
The Mustangs kick off their 2023-2024 football season tomorrow evening! Gametime has been pushed back to 8:00 due to the extreme heat. We hope to see you there! Let's go Mustangs!
Due to the extreme heat this afternoon, junior high softball has been cancelled. A rescheduled date will be announced soon!
Also, the varsity game at Inola has been pushed back to start at 7:00 to try and let the temperatures cool off a bit. Go Lady Mustangs!
