Good morning! Bus 7 and Bus 12 will be delayed approximately 20 minutes from their regular drop-off time every afternoon between now and Thanksgiving Break. We are still experiencing a shortage of bus drivers, but we also want to provide our families with a consistent schedule for their students rather than changing route times day by day. We will reevaluate these routes before Thanksgiving Break and provide an update at that time. If you have any interest in driving a bus for OTPS, please contact Jeff Cluck, Transportation Director, at (918) 443-6000, ext. 6087. Have a great Tuesday!
Good morning! Bus 7 will be approximately 30 minutes late this afternoon. Thank you for your patience! Have a great day!
Good morning, OTPS families! Bus 7 and Bus 12 will be delayed today for approximately 30 minutes. If you need to make alternate transportation arrangements for your child, please contact the office. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
Friendly reminder all popcorn fundraising money is due on Tuesday after Fall Break! Thank you for supporting our school!
Dear OUE Parents and Guardians,
As winter nears and the germs start to spread, please remember our sick policy. If students have fever of 100.4 or higher, they cannot come to school and may not return until they have been fever free for 24 hours without fever reducing medications, and no vomiting/diarrhea. If they are feeling sick overall, we ask that you please keep them home to reduce the risk of spreading germs. Thank you so much for your understanding!

The Upper has extra t-shirts and hoodies from our fundraiser to sell! If you are interested, please call or visit the office.
Good morning! Both Bus 7 and Bus 12 will be running about 30 minutes late on their afternoon routes Tuesday through Thursday of this week. We apologize for the inconvenience! We are in need of additional bus drivers, and if you are interested you can contact Jeff Cluck, Transportation Director, at (918) 443-6000, ext. 6087. Thank you for your understanding!
Dear OUE Parents and Guardians,
A little before noon today the fire alarms at the Upper went off due to dust from a construction project at the south end of our building. There was not a fire and students were never in danger. Great job to our staff and students for exiting the building quickly.
Thank you,

Good afternoon! Earlier this afternoon we sent a message to the families of students who ride Bus 8 and Bus 12, but we are learning that not everyone received this message. Due to a bus driver shortage, Bus 8 is running approximately 20-25 minutes behind and Bus 12 is running approximately 45 minutes behind. We apologize if our original message did not reach every intended parent/guardian, and we will work to ensure this does not happen again. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
There will be no school for students on Friday, September 27! This is a Teacher Collaboration Day, and our teachers will be spending time meeting, learning from one another, and participating in professional development. This is a true day off for students, so no work will be assigned. Thank you!
Don't forget about our Parent Night happening this Thursday from 5:30-7! Please see the attached graphic for specific times and information! Hotdogs, chips and popsicles will be served on the playground. Please bring drinks for your family and lawn chairs! When you are not in your child's classroom, we encourage you to grab dinner on the playground and visit the specials classes--music, library, STEAM and PE!
