Minco School District

Our 8th–12th grade students participated in a Safe Driving Day yesterday at Minco High School. Students heard from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, VOID (Victims of Impaired Drivers) founders Jeff and Kristy Murrow, Mrs. Baade, and the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office. They also experienced a rollover simulator and a drunk driving golf cart obstacle course. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event both educational and impactful!

Our second graders had the best day at Jahn’s Pumpkin Hill! From wagon rides to pumpkin picking, smiles were everywhere!

Parents: On Monday, the 22nd, our high school will be hosting the Student Council District 12 Conference. We will have close to 200 high school students from other area high schools. With everything that will be going on that day, there is no way to have a normal day of school in the high school building. High School students will not be required to be in attendance on Monday, the 22nd. Activities and practices will go on as scheduled, but there will be no classes held at the high school building. On Monday, each high school student will have an assignment associated with their ICAP (Individual Career Academic Planning). The ICAP is a graduation requirement, and all of our students work on it from 9th grade to graduation. That assignment needs to be completed on Monday, it can be done online. Elementary and junior high students will have a normal school day. If you have any questions, let us know.
