Drumright Public Schools has adopted a new online gradebook system that improves instruction decisions and more clearly communicates progress. TeacherEase provides students and families with real-time access to monitoring assignments and understanding their students' learning progress. This is a better environment for parents (and students) than looking at paper reports. Parents can stay more involved in their children’s education. You may also receive emails from teachers/staff for good grades, missed work, etc. The goal is to transform education, improve student performance, and involve parents. Make sure to watch the video for more information: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iepdzmg3i60

If you have not completed your child's online registration, please complete all the documents online and come to the school to fill out the additional 4 forms. To hold your child's place in their current classes, this must be completed by Friday, August 9th at noon. Office hours are from 8:00-4:00 at both Bradley Elementary and Cooper/High School. If you have questions, feel free to contact Lori McEntire at lmcentire@drumright.k12.ok.us or Charlotte Dorle at cdorle@drumright.k12.ok.us.
