With the heat index being extreme for the upcoming week, we wanted to notify our community about our precautions and remind students what they can do to stay hydrated. All students are always welcome to bring water bottles to school to stay hydrated throughout the day. We will have water on the buses in the afternoon for the students who ride our buses. Bradley Elementary teachers are making plans to have alternative activities to avoid the heat. Our coaches are preparing for minimal time in the direct heat (short sessions). We will have ice towels and additional water on hand as well. Our Drumright Fire Department will have an additional first responder on staff in the event one is needed. Thank you as always for working with our staff to keep our students safe!
Tornado of the Week
Starting this year students in the junior high and high school will be following the Tornado Standard. The Tornado Standard emphasizes teamwork, respect, discipline, and helping/giving back to our community. Throughout the year, students will be participating in charity drives, participating in community events, and showcasing what being a Tornado means.
If you know of an outstanding 7-12th grade student who is demonstrating the "Tornado Standard", please nominate them by sending an email to jbray@drumright.k12.ok.us detailing how the student has demonstrated our Tornado standard.

EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT! There are 13 high school students at Drumright High School enrolled for fall 2023 concurrent enrollment through Tulsa Community College! This is the most we have had in a long time. We are starting a scholarship fund for all juniors and seniors enrolled in college courses. The state of Oklahoma pays for the tuition, but students are left with the online fees and class fees. This is where alumni and community come in. If you would like to donate to our concurrent enrollment scholarship fund please email Mrs. Baugh, our school counselor at bbaugh@drumright.k12.ok.us or leave her a voicemail at 918-352-4010.
Parents,
This information is to inform you that we are aware of the social media post that is being circulated concerning a school shooting scheduled for 2:30 today. There is no indication this threat is directly towards Drumright Public Schools, but we are still taking the threat very seriously and will be on heightened security as additional officers are currently on our campus. Students will continue to attend their classes as normal at this time. We are working with the Drumright Police Department to ensure the safety of our students and staff and will continue to determine the credibility of the threat and continue to monitor the situation. Thank you for your cooperation, patience, and understanding during this time as we work through this process.
The MS awards assembly will be a 12:00 tomorrow, May 9 and the HS will take place after at 1:00. It will be in the cafeteria.
