It's an indoor recess kind of day.. but our Abilities class couldn't resist sneaking outside for some fun! Lots of memories being made at Epperly Heights! ❄️

Mustang families, we will NOT have Harmony tomorrow.

After our team drove throughout the district this morning, we are ready to be back in school. Welcome back!

The roads aren't perfect. There are still some slick spots in neighborhoods, along with a few intersections near Barnes, Schwartz, and Pleasant Hill Elementary. We encourage families to plan for extra time getting their students to school. Bus routes may run a little more slowly in these areas as well.

We will ask schools to be mindful of these conditions when marking students tardy at the beginning of the school day.

We understand that parents have the ultimate responsibility to decide what's safe for your child. Our school parking lots and sidewalks have been cleared, and we will have warm meals. If you can't get out of your neighborhood, please call your child's absence into their school.

An important message from Dr. Cobb.

Good afternoon -

We have been out driving roads and are seeing some improvement. Of course, better doesn't mean great. The forecast shows temperatures hovering around the freezing mark overnight. Right now, I'm 50/50 on being in school tomorrow. The final decision will be made when my team and I get up early in the morning and test roads in different parts of the district. Our decision will be made by 5:00 am, at which point we will send out messages, either way.

I know that leaves our families and staff in limbo, and I'm sorry for that, but I never take the responsibility of this decision lightly. As much as I'd love to have the right answer right now, I'm going to ask for your patience. The goal is always to teach our students and be safe doing it.

With that in mind, stay warm and safe. Hopefully, we'll see you tomorrow.

It's the perfect time to start planning those Kindness Week outfits! Join us for a fun week of dress up days and activities geared towards kindness, inclusivity, and service to others. 🫶🏽💙 We'll be sure to post another reminder the week before.

It's always a great day to celebrate our team! 🎉 Please join us in recognizing the Mustang staff who go above and beyond each day. January awards go to... ⭐️Best Class: Mr. Ray and his 2nd graders ⭐️Excellence: Mrs. Looney ⭐️Rockstar Teacher: Ms. Nicky and her TA Ms. Wynns ⭐️Leadership: Mrs. Berry

Thank you Sergeant Willis and Lieutenant Barr for visiting us this morning! Mr. Chris, Ms. Bruce, and Ms. Nicky's classes had a great time reading "The Good Egg".📚 While reading.. the Mustangs noticed some similarities between Lt. Barr and the main character! 😆 We are grateful for Del City Police Department and their willingness to connect with our students.

It's time to enroll for our Spring Grief Small Groups! If your student has experienced grief from divorce, death of a loved one, incarceration of a parent, foster care, etc., this is a great opportunity to connect with peers. Groups meet each week (for 8 weeks) and are free to Mid-Del students. If you feel this would be beneficial for your child, contact Mrs. Rice at mrice@mid-del.net or extension *7547

Ms. Nicky, Ms. Meeks, and Mrs. Watson's classes all learned about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. this past week. Through books, videos, and activities, students were able to hear about the person Dr. King was and the difference he made. The Mustangs are thankful for his dream. 🤎🫶🏼

HUGE congratulations to our Support Employee of the Year! 💚🐎 Mrs. Melissa Berry in the main office is our go-to gal! We're grateful to have someone so patient, diligent, and detail oriented. She serves as a support system to all in our building and never fails to provide a good laugh. She's beyond deserving. Please join us in celebrating this win! 🏆

Take a peek at these marble masterpieces. Mrs. Watson's class recently read "Olivia". The character visits a museum to look at the beautiful pieces of art. In tune with their story, these Pre-K students made marble paintings of their own! Each one was unique and beautiful in its own way. 🎨💜

A great opportunity for free dental care! Registration is open now, contact University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry if you have any questions!
