RE: Cell Phone Policy
Dear Parent or Guardian;
The State of Oklahoma has passed a No-Cell Phone Law which makes it illegal to have a phone at school.
Our board has also adopted a policy to make sure we follow the intent of the law.
Recently, we have been having a problem with students attempting to circumvent the law and keep their phone in their possession.
The school has tried to be very fair in allowing the students to bring their phones to school if they will turn them in the minute they get to school and pick them back up at the end of the day. The problem is that students are trying to hide their phones and are using them during the school day during lunch or breaks.
Therefore, we are going to a zero tolerance stance. The enclosed policy will be adhered to on a strict basis. Please sign and return the form that states that you have received and read the enclosed cell phone policy.
We appreciate your help in addressing this situation so that we are in compliance with state law.
Sincerely,
Randall Erwin
Superintendent

Congratulations to our October Student Deputies of the Month!
I am proud to recognize three outstanding students for their character, leadership, and the positive example they set each day on our campuses.
• Hunter W. – Crain Elementary School
• Lexi W. – Clayton Middle School
• Nicholas A. – Clayton High School
Each of these students was selected because they show respect, responsibility, and a steady commitment to doing what is right. They stand out in the best way, and their schools are better because of them.
I cannot wait to celebrate each selected student throughout this school year,
