We are marking #RedRibbonWeek at all of our schools. Check with your school for this week's dress-up days and activities. Red Ribbon Week is the oldest and largest drug prevention program in the nation-- presenting a way for people and communities to unite and take a visible stand against drugs.
Parents and guardians, we need your most up-to-date info! We want to be prepared for winter weather school closures or other potential emergencies. Your child's school needs the correct guardian contact information for texts, calls, and emails. If your contact info has changed since re-registration:
- Call or stop in to your child's school's front office to update your phone number or email.
- If your info has not changed but you previously opted out of communications, or believe you've opted out by accident, please email us at communications@sapulpaps.org with your student's name, your name, and contact information to re-subscribe.
- If your child is no longer in the district, you may unsubscribe on the emails or texts, or email us with the phone number to remove at communications@sapulpaps.org.
- All emergency communications are sent via text, call, and email. District-wide school closures will be posted on the district website, sapulpaps.org. In the event of weather closures, local media will also be notified.
Liberty Elementary will be in session on Thursday, October 22. Oklahoma Natural Gas completed its repairs early this afternoon.
We will let you know at a later date how Wednesday's learning time will be made up.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Dear Liberty parents/guardians,
We apologize for the late night notice. We've just learned of a gas leak in front of Liberty Elementary. Gas is shut off but crews will make repairs tomorrow.
Because Liberty's gas service and traffic in front of the school will be disrupted, Liberty Elementary will not hold classes on Wednesday, October 21, for students or staff. The gas line should be repaired in time for classes to resume Thursday.
We will let you know at a later date how the learning time will be made up. Thank you for your understanding.
Sincerely,
Sapulpa Public Schools
Congratulations to Mary Sanders, our Transportation Employee of the Month for October!
Mary is truly one of a kind. She is sweet, kind, compassionate, understanding, and has a heart of gold. As an aide for our special needs students, Mary goes above and beyond every day to make sure our students feel safe, loved, and cared for. It is no surprise that they absolutely adore her!
Mary has a way of brightening any room she walks into with her positive attitude and caring personality. She is always willing to lend a helping hand, no matter what the task may be. She has even been spotted washing our white fleet vehicles to make sure they are clean and ready for the next trip. That is just the kind of person Mary is—always stepping up and doing whatever needs to be done, without being asked.
We are incredibly fortunate to have Mary as part of our Transportation Department. She is a tremendous asset to our team and a perfect example of what makes our staff so special.
Please join us in congratulating Mary Sander on being named Transportation Employee of the Month. Thank you, Mary, for your dedication, your kindness, and the love you show our students every single day. We are proud to have you as part of the greatest transportation team around!

🎉 Let’s celebrate National GEAR UP Week!
Oklahoma GEAR UP invested $18,792 in concurrent enrollment fees for 97 Sapulpa students last school year!
Concurrent enrollment gives high school students the opportunity to earn college credit before graduation. By helping cover associated costs, GEAR UP reduces a financial barrier while giving students an early start on college, experience with college-level coursework and greater confidence that they can succeed after high school.
College credit now. More opportunities later.

Last school year, 81% of Sapulpa seniors completed the FAFSA, compared with 69% of GEAR UP seniors grant-wide and 48% statewide.
Completing the FAFSA is an important step toward making college more affordable. It can open the door to federal and state grants, scholarships, work-study opportunities and other financial aid that can help students continue their education after high school.
Sapulpa students are taking important steps toward making their college plans possible!
Oklahoma: 48% | GEAR UP: 69% | Sapulpa: 81%

Last school year, 137 families received GEAR UP services through Oklahoma GEAR UP’s partnership with Sapulpa Public Schools!
Preparing for college is a family journey. By providing families with information, resources and one-on-one support, GEAR UP helps parents and caregivers better understand the college-going process and support their students as they make important decisions about life after high school.
When families have the information they need, students have another team of support behind them.

Last school year, 1,076 students received financial aid counseling through Oklahoma GEAR UP’s partnership with Sapulpa Public Schools!
For many students, one of the biggest questions about college is, “How will I pay for it?” Financial aid counseling helps students and families understand the FAFSA, scholarships, grants and other resources that can make education after high school more affordable.
Understanding the options can help turn college plans into college opportunities.
