Don't forget to stop by the public library for the fifth grade art show. The reception is today from 4:00-6:00. The display will be up through Tuesday, May 6th.

If you need to let your child know what they are doing after school today, please call the office by 12:30. We have lots of activities planned this afternoon and this will make it easier.

As we head into state testing beginning next week, we want our students to be successful and feel confident and prepared. Some things that can help: Get plenty of rest – A good night’s sleep helps students focus and do their best thinking. Eat a healthy breakfast – Breakfast will be provided for all students each morning. Arrive on time and be prepared for the day. Thank you for all you do!

BPS will soon have BusRight in place for all of our buses that transport students from home and school. This system will allow parents of students who ride our buses the ability to get real time GPS and transportation updates right from an app. Parents who have students who ride a bus can expect an email with directions on how to download the app. The email will only be sent to parents who have children who ride the bus. BPS is excited to provide this platform to our parents!

Just a reminder that school WILL be in session this Friday, April 4th. It is a make up snow day.

The current 2024-25 school calendar as well as the recently approved 2025-26 school calendar are both available on the top navigation of the Bristow Public Schools webpages at www.bristow.k12.ok.us. Students and parents, please note that Friday, April 4, 2025 and Wednesday, may 14, 2025 have been added as makeup days for the snow day as well as the day the city was experiencing water issues.
