Deer Creek superintendent outlines back-to-school events, supply bash and new statewide device ban
Summary
The superintendent announced back-to-school logistics including meet‑the‑teacher dates, a July 26 school supply event and reminded families that a new Oklahoma law bans student personal electronic devices during the school day.
The superintendent announced that the district will begin the school year in about one month and urged families to review back‑to‑school information posted on the district website and social media. The superintendent also listed upcoming meet‑the‑teacher and schedule pickup days and highlighted a community supply event on July 26.
The events matter to families preparing for the start of classes and to students who may rely on school supports: the Deer Creek Business Association will host a School Supply Bash on July 26 from 10 a.m. to noon at the Performing Arts Center, the superintendent said, including food trucks, yard games, a "touch a truck" exhibit and free haircuts provided by Chaveau Salon on MacArthur. The association expects to provide supplies for about 350 students, the superintendent said.
In addition to event details, the superintendent reminded the public that under Oklahoma law, schools will implement a personal electronic device ban for the upcoming school year. "There will be no personal electronic devices out from the first bell to the last bell each school day," the superintendent said, adding that the district will continue to send information to families so secondary students understand the new requirement.
District officials asked families to plan for posted event dates and to watch district communications for further details on schedules and the device ban. No formal board action was taken on these items; they were part of the superintendent's report to the board.
Less critical logistical items mentioned included a reminder that staff and district teams have been preparing over the summer and a general encouragement for students and families to check online resources as school start approaches.
