Good morning, OTPS Families! A message from Dr. Wilkins regarding the video sent to schools last week has been emailed to all families. It has also been posted to our website and Facebook page. Please check these platforms to read the message. Thank you!
Good morning! We are pleased to inform you that our online payment system for lunch accounts is now working. You may resume making payments on your student's lunch account using the online system. Thank you for your patience !
At this time, we have been given the all-clear from Rogers County Emergency Management for students to safely return to class. If you would like to pick your child up, the offices are open for you to do so. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we do everything possible to keep our students safe.
Mustang Family,
All students and staff are in the storm shelter. The students were great and we made it in the shelter in less than 5 minutes. We will remain here until the all clear has been given. Please note that we cannot open the doors or check any students out while we are in the shelter.
Good afternoon, OTPS families! We are keeping a very close eye on the weather as we move through the afternoon. Please rest assured that we already have a plan in place to move students to our storm shelters if needed, and be aware that the weather may result in delayed bus routes if it is not safe to leave on time. Also, please remember that the storm shelters are NOT available to the public during the school day. Thank you!
Good morning! Bus 7 and Bus 12 will be delayed approximately 20 minutes from their regular drop-off time every afternoon between now and Thanksgiving Break. We are still experiencing a shortage of bus drivers, but we also want to provide our families with a consistent schedule for their students rather than changing route times day by day. We will reevaluate these routes before Thanksgiving Break and provide an update at that time. If you have any interest in driving a bus for OTPS, please contact Jeff Cluck, Transportation Director, at (918) 443-6000, ext. 6087. Have a great Tuesday!
Good morning! Bus 7 will be approximately 30 minutes late this afternoon. Thank you for your patience! Have a great day!
Good morning, OTPS families! Bus 7 and Bus 12 will be delayed today for approximately 30 minutes. If you need to make alternate transportation arrangements for your child, please contact the office. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
Good morning! Both Bus 7 and Bus 12 will be running about 30 minutes late on their afternoon routes Tuesday through Thursday of this week. We apologize for the inconvenience! We are in need of additional bus drivers, and if you are interested you can contact Jeff Cluck, Transportation Director, at (918) 443-6000, ext. 6087. Thank you for your understanding!
Good afternoon! Earlier this afternoon we sent a message to the families of students who ride Bus 8 and Bus 12, but we are learning that not everyone received this message. Due to a bus driver shortage, Bus 8 is running approximately 20-25 minutes behind and Bus 12 is running approximately 45 minutes behind. We apologize if our original message did not reach every intended parent/guardian, and we will work to ensure this does not happen again. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
There will be no school for students on Friday, September 27! This is a Teacher Collaboration Day, and our teachers will be spending time meeting, learning from one another, and participating in professional development. This is a true day off for students, so no work will be assigned. Thank you!
Mustang Family,
Please help us ensure the safety of our students by following the bus and car rider drop off and pick up procedures below. All buses will pickup and drop off on the North end of the school (designated by the yellow marker in the picture). All car riders will drop off and pick up on the East side, (the highway side as designated by the red marker in the picture). This will ensure no student has to cross traffic and will allow for better traffic flow around campus. Thank you for helping us make our campus as safe as possible.

Thank you so much for your patience as we have been dealing with congested traffic on campus. We know this has been an inconvenience for many families, and we have made a few small changes that have sped up the process for both drop off and pick up. We are also currently consulting with an architect to come up with a more permanent solution for our traffic challenges. We appreciate your understanding as we ensure that traffic moves safely around campus. Have a great day!
Good afternoon, Mustang Family! We had an amazing first day of school, and it was so wonderful to see all our students back on campus! We wanted to inform you that we have a new software program we will be utilizing for checking students out at all four sites. You will be required to scan your drivers license at the kiosk in each office in order to check your student out. This will help us ensure the safety and security of all our students. Thank you!
