Seminole Public Schools will resume In-Person Learning tomorrow-Wednesday October 28, 2020. Schools will be Open as usual.
We hope everyone is safe and staying warm. There have been several power outages around the area, especially Shawnee, the OKC metro area, and western Oklahoma.
Hakuna Matata, stay safe and warm.

With the forecast for freezing ice, sleet and frozen rain tonight and tomorrow, we are going to take this opportunity to test our Distance Learning Plans. Tuesday October 27, 2020 will be a Distance Learning Day for our students.
Students should have their Distance Plan work when they leave campus at the end of today, either a paper packet and/or instructions to be virtual for the Distance Learning Day. If parents have questions, please contact your child's school during the day on Tuesday.
Our concerns are for safety during inclement weather, and equally for student's daily learning opportunities.
Hakuna Matata, and stay safe.

Updated School Supply List (as of 7/26/20)
Seminole Public Schools has chosen to delay the start of the 2020 school year. The new first day of school will be August 21st. We have been working diligently to prepare our buildings, facilities, and grounds for the upcoming year. After the update from the Oklahoma State Board of Education meeting, we feel that it is necessary to delay our start in an effort to ensure that we can provide the safest, most educationally appropriate environment for all students and staff. We appreciate your patience and understanding and we look forward to the day that we can welcome all of our Chieftains back to school!

AP students taking AP Exams -
If you were unable to upload your answers, did not receive a message saying your answers were submitted, experienced a major disturbance, or answered both questions on the same document, you need to request a make up exam from the college board. Please go to the AP College Board website. If you need help contact Mrs. Speer via email. espeer@sps.k12.ok.us
For 9th graders registered to take the ACT with GEARUP vouchers -
Message from GearUp
It is too late to register for the June test. If they haven't used the voucher, they will need to register for the July test. They may then have the option to change it to the fall since campus is closed to the public and probably won't be having a July test. They must register with these vouchers during the 2019-2020 academic year which ends after the July test.
