Dear Tornado Families,
We want to make you aware of a serious safety situation that occurred this afternoon at Bradley Elementary at approximately 3:28 PM, shortly before dismissal.
Two students reported hearing another student state, “I have a .22 in my backpack.” The information was immediately reported to the principal. The student was promptly separated from other students, and the backpack was secured and searched.
No firearm or weapon was found in the backpack or in the student’s possession.
Our immediate priority was ensuring the safety of our students and staff. Drumright Public Schools takes any statement or report involving a weapon extremely seriously. Our staff responded immediately and followed district safety procedures. The Drumright Police Department was also notified.
We especially want to recognize the students who reported what they heard. We continually remind our students: if you see something, hear something, or become aware of something that could be a safety concern, say something to a trusted adult immediately. Today’s situation demonstrates exactly why that message is so important.
We appreciate the quick response of our students and staff and the continued partnership of our families as we work together to maintain a safe learning environment for every student.
Sincerely,
Dr. Angela Avila
Superintendent
Drumright Public Schools
Tornado Families,
The City of Drumright has notified us that the main gas line has been struck, disrupting gas service throughout the community. Repairs could take up to seven days.
At this time, Drumright Public Schools will continue our regular school schedule. We are working closely with Keystone, our food service provider, to ensure students continue to receive healthy breakfast and lunch options each day during the outage.
We will remain in communication with City officials and will keep families updated if there are any changes that impact school operations.
Thank you for your patience and flexibility.

Drumright Public Schools Families,
We have been notified by the City of Drumright that they will need to temporarily shut down a gas line in order to make repairs in the area of the truck route.
Drumright Public Schools will continue with our regular school day. All school lunches have already been prepared, and students are beginning their regularly scheduled lunch periods.
At this time, we do not anticipate any disruption to the school day. We will continue to monitor the situation and will communicate with families if anything changes.
Reminder:
We are excited to celebrate our Teacher of the Month and Support Staff of the Month for August!
Both of these incredible Tornado team members were nominated and voted on by their colleagues, which makes this honor even more special. Their hard work, dedication, and commitment to our students and school community set the standard for excellence at Drumright Public Schools.
Thank you for going above and beyond every day. You both truly embody the Tornado Standard!
Join us in congratulating our August Employees of the Month!

Dear Tornado Families,
We want to make you aware of a serious safety situation that occurred this afternoon at Bradley Elementary.
A student reported that another student had stated there was a gun in his backpack and that he intended to use it during athletics. The information was immediately reported to the principal. The student was promptly removed from the other students, and the backpack was secured and searched.
No firearm or weapon was found in the backpack or in the student’s possession.
We delayed notifying families until we had completed our initial investigation and could provide accurate information. Our immediate priority was ensuring the safety of our students and staff.
We take any statement or report involving a weapon extremely seriously. Our staff responded immediately and followed district safety procedures.
We also want to recognize the student who reported what they heard. We continually remind our students that if they see something, hear something, or become aware of something that could be a safety concern, they should say something to a trusted adult immediately. Today’s situation demonstrates exactly why that message is so important.
Because this matter involves a student, we are limited in the additional information we can share. Please know that the situation is being addressed in accordance with district policies and procedures.
We appreciate the quick response of our students and staff and your continued partnership in helping us maintain a safe learning environment at Drumright Public Schools.

OSSAA has partnered with the K20 Center for Educational and Community Renewal at the University of Oklahoma to develop our five-year strategic plan. This effort will guide OSSAA's priorities and initiatives moving forward, and your voice is an essential part of that process.
As the first step, K20 has developed a Strategic Planning Stakeholder Survey to gather input from everyone connected to Oklahoma secondary school activities. We need your help getting this survey in front of as many people as possible.
What we're asking of you:
Complete the survey yourself: [SURVEY LINK below]
Share the survey link with your staff, coaches, and officials
Distribute the survey to parents and community members in your district, through email, social media, school websites, or however works best for reaching your community
The survey will remain open through September 7, 2026, so we ask that you share it as soon as possible to allow time for responses.
Your feedback, and the feedback of your students' families and communities, will directly shape the goals and priorities in OSSAA's strategic plan.

Attendance Matters Every Day
Tornado Families,
As we continue through the 2026–2027 school year, we want to remind our families just how important daily attendance is to your child’s success.
Every day at school matters. Each day brings new instruction, classroom discussions, hands-on activities, opportunities to ask questions, and connections with teachers and classmates. When students miss school, they miss more than an assignment. They miss valuable learning experiences that can be difficult to recreate.
We understand that there will be times when a student must miss school due to illness or other unavoidable circumstances. However, we ask families to make consistent attendance a priority and, whenever possible, schedule vacations, appointments, and other activities outside of the school day.
Even a few missed days can add up quickly throughout the year. Being at school on time, every day helps students stay caught up, build strong routines, feel connected to their school, and achieve at their highest level.
Our 2026–2027 Vacation Planning Guide includes scheduled holidays and breaks throughout the year. We encourage families to use these dates when planning trips and extended family time so students do not have to miss valuable classroom instruction.
Parents and schools are partners in attendance. Thank you for helping us establish the expectation that being at school every day matters.
When our Tornadoes are present, engaged, and ready to learn, they have the greatest opportunity to succeed.
Every student. Every day. Every opportunity.

Drumright Public Schools is Moving to ParentSquare!
Drumright Public Schools is having to switch to using ParentSquare for district, school, and classroom communication.
This transition comes as ParentSquare has acquired Remind, the communication platform our district has previously used. As part of this change, Drumright Public Schools will transition our communication directly to ParentSquare so our families can continue receiving important information while also gaining access to additional communication tools.
ParentSquare brings school communication together in one convenient place. Families will be able to receive district and school announcements, communicate with teachers and staff, complete forms and permission slips, sign up for conferences, view calendars, receive classroom updates, and more.
Messages can be received through email, text, the ParentSquare app, or online.
We encourage parents and guardians to download the free ParentSquare app for iOS or Android. You can also access ParentSquare online through ParentSquare.
Many of our teachers will continue to use both platforms until September 1st as we get our families transitioned over to ParentSquare.
We are excited to make this transition and continue improving how we communicate with our Tornado families!
