Timberlake Schools

At the end of June a few Tigers attended the Oklahoma 8 Man Football Coaches Association All Star Game and Banquet and received some hardware. Head Coach of the Tigers, Brian Severin, was chosen as the Class C Coach of the Year as well as being inducted into the Oklahoma 8 Man Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame. Tyler Severin was chosen as the Assistant Coach of the Year. Karson Shepard was selected as the Defensive Player of the Year. Congratulations to all, we are proud of you. Thank you to the Severin coaches for the impact you have on all of your players. Karson, thank you for your hard work, dedication, and leadership you exhibited during your 4 years as a Tiger.

With the first day quickly approaching, I wanted to make sure everyone had seen information on some changes for the new school year.
1. State law requires that students do not access to cell phones or other digital devices from "bell to bell." If you would like details on how we will be implementing this requirement, go to page 14 in the student handbook which can be accessed at https://aptg.co/2SQY_H

2. Meal plans: There is currently no method in place to allow the district to fund breakfast and lunch for all students. The expectation remains for families to maintain a positive balance. We urge parents to complete a free & reduced application if there is any chance that you might qualify as it does benefit the district and all Timberlake students greatly. We have a plan in place to assist families with negative balances to bring their balances current. We will be sharing information on that shortly.

3. Transportation: We are in desperate need of part time or full time bus drivers so please reach out to the district if you or someone you know might be interested in helping. We have also seen an increase in behavioral issues on buses which does not help with our driver shortage. This is a reminder that school transportation is a privilege and discipline issues create a safety hazard for all other students. Timberlake has a no tolerance policy on behaviors that disrupt routes and/or create safety issues on school vehicles. The district will stick firmly behind discipline measures that remove students from school vehicles for an increasing number of days for each offense. We appreciate your assistance in driving home the importance of behavior on the road.

Finally, we hope to see everyone at Open House tomorrow night and we look forward to another great school year at Timberlake!

Attn: Parents - If you haven't received an email that looks like this for your students that you enrolled, your students enrollment isn't complete.

The email will be from ednotifications@sylogist.com. We have a large number of enrollments that we can't post because they have been sent back to the guardians. If you are unsure contact the school and we can tell you the status of your enrollment.
