CLASSROOM ASSIGNMENT OF STUDENTS (PreKindergarten-6th Grade)
Principals and teachers, with the aid of evaluative criteria, will group students in the classes that will provide
the best possible learning situation. It is recommended that once a student is assigned to a group that
he/she continues with that group for the school year.
CLOSING OF SCHOOL
In the event school must be canceled for any reason, the announcement will be made on local news stations
prior to 6:00 a.m. when possible. MPS will also post the information on the district web site at
www.mustangps.org and social media.
DOCTOR NOTE REQUIREMENTS
All Doctor notes must:
Clearly state the student’s name as the patient.
Be written on official provider letterhead.
Include the specific date(s) of the illness for which the student was absent.
Provide verifiable contact information for the medical provider.
"Falsification, and/or turning in falsified doctor notes, for the purpose of deviation of the attendance records is against school rules. Falsified doctor notes will not be recorded as valid. Falsification of doctor notes could be turned into law enforcement."
This can be in direct violation of OK State Statute 70-10-105, "It shall be unlawful for a parent, guardian, or other person having custody of a child who is over the age of (5) years, and under the age of eighteen (18) years, to neglect or refuse to cause or compel the child to attend and comply with the rules of some public, private, or other school unless other means of education are provided for the full term the schools of the district are in session or the child is excused as provided in this section."
EMERGENCY SIGNALS
Due to the differences in intercom systems throughout the district, each site administrator will be responsible
for educating students, parents and staff of emergency signals for the school. Students should remember to
conduct themselves in a safe and orderly manner when a drill is being conducted.
FFA SCHOOL FARM/ BARN GENERAL RULES AND POLICIES - Policy #5152 can be found here
FIELD TRIPS
Field trips will be made only with the prior approval of the building principal, administrative designee and
transportation director. Advance written consent of the student's parent or legal guardian is required for any
off-campus field trip. Field Trips do not include interscholastic contests or extracurricular activities where
students perform or compete.
The Mustang Board of Education recognizes educational field trips as part of the curriculum. The following
criteria should be considered in deciding whether or not a field trip would be a beneficial experience for
students:
Would this field trip be a better experience for students than other activities which might be conducted within the school building?
Would the students benefit more from the field trip than they would from a virtual learning experience, a guest speaker, experiment, project, etc?
There will be two (2) class parties per year which will be determined by each elementary site. Teachers will
notify all parents of food allergies in their child’s classroom. Teachers will encourage parents to limit sugary
items, and provide a variety of foods for students to choose from. Store-bought foods with nutritional
information is encouraged.
Parents are requested to refrain from bringing preschool children, younger children or siblings to class parties,
as their attention needs to be directed to assisting with the party's events for the students and assisting the
teacher during this time. No audio, photographs, or video recordings are allowed during the parties.
Birthday party invitations are never to be distributed at school and birthday parties are not hosted in
classrooms. Birthday snacks may be provided by parents, but should be limited to no more than one day per
month, as determined by the teacher, to protect instructional time.
Parents of students with allergies will be notified when treats will be provided so they will have the opportunity
to provide alternate treats for their child if necessary.
All celebrations must be arranged through the classroom teacher.
FOOD DELIVERY
Food deliveries to students from restaurants, food establishments, delivery services, or other commercial
vendors are prohibited during the school day. This prohibition includes, but is not limited to, deliveries made
directly by a restaurant or food vendor and deliveries facilitated through third-party services.
PERSONAL ITEMS
Students are not to bring any toys, including toys that look like “fake” weapons, electronic games, cameras,
etc. to school without permission from the teacher or an administrator.
THE SCHOOL IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGED, LOST OR STOLEN PERSONAL ITEMS.
PETITIONS AND SURVEYS
Neither petitions nor surveys for any cause may be circulated in the school without the permission of the principal.
PLAYGROUND EXPECTATIONS
Students will follow all playground rules and procedures established by the individual teacher(s) and/or
principal at each school site. Children should be dressed appropriately for outdoor activities. Outdoor
activities such as recess will take place unless there is inclement weather; wind chill of thirty-two (32) degrees
or less, or heat index of 100 degrees or more. In order to ensure the safety of all students, visitors will not
be allowed on the playground during scheduled recess times or during Bronco Club hours.
STAFF VISITING WITH STUDENTS
School administrators, counselors, teachers, and authorized staff have the legal authority to meet with and
speak to students regarding academic, behavioral, safety, and well-being matters. While students are at
school or participating in school activities, school personnel act in loco parentis (in place of the parent).
Therefore, prior parent or guardian permission is not required for school staff to interact with students as part
of their professional responsibilities.
STUDENT IDENTIFICATION - All students Grades 9-12
All students in grades 9–12 are required to have a school-issued student ID (physical or digital) on their person at all times while on campus. While it is preferred that IDs remain visible, and be readily available upon request.
If a student arrives at school without their student ID, they must report to the Media Center between 8:00 a.m. and 8:40 a.m. to purchase a replacement ID. The cost to replace a lost, damaged, or stolen ID is $10.00.
Students must present their student ID to any school staff member upon request to verify current enrollment at Mustang High School. Failure to produce a student ID when requested will result in disciplinary action.
Consequences for Failure to Produce a Student ID
First Offense:
In-School Intervention (ISI) for three (3) school days.
Second Offense:
One (1) day suspension. If the violation occurs before 1:00 p.m., the suspension will be for the remainder of that school day. Violations occurring after 1:00 p.m. will result in suspension for the remainder of that day and the following school day.
STUDENT INSURANCE
The only students who are insured are those students whose parents have obtained a Student Accident
Insurance Policy made available at the beginning of each school term. This is only a limited accident policy; it
does not cover illness. If additional insurance coverage is desired, parents should purchase trip insurance
from a private carrier.

ACTIVITY ELIGIBILITY AND REGULATIONS
A student must be maintaining a “passing grade” in all classes in order to participate in an activity. Effective January 1, 1989 scholastic eligibility will be determined by the regulations listed at the end of this section. These regulations conform to Rules of the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association (OSSAA). A student must be present in all classes the day an activity is scheduled; or if the activity is scheduled on a weekend or holiday, or is an all-day activity, a student must have been present the preceding school day. Any exception to this policy must be approved by the administration.
The maximum number of absences for activities, whether sponsored by the school or outside agency/organization, which removes any student from the classroom shall be ten (10) for any one (1) class period of each school year. Excluded from this number are state and national levels of school-sponsored contests. State and national contests are those for which a student must earn the right to compete. The criteria for earning the right to represent the school in any activity or contest must be submitted in writing by local school sponsors and approved by the local board of education.
Each local board of education shall appoint, at the beginning of the school year, an Internal Activities Review Committee. This committee shall be responsible for reviewing and recommending any deviation of the activities policy to the local board of education. Any deviation from the ten (10) days absence rule shall not exceed five (5) days.
A student must be maintaining a “passing grade” in classes to be missed while participating in an activity during the school day. A weekly eligibility list of students will be made available at the end of each week through the activities director’s office.
RULES FOR STUDENTS TO BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN SCHOOL ACTIVITIES Grades 7-12
These rules are based upon the OSSAA (Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Association) and apply to any student or group that will miss school for an activity.
Passing Grades are Key: To participate in an activity that requires the student to miss school during the regular school day; such as, performance during the school day, contest, competition, etc. or to compete in any OSSAA sanctioned event, ex. game, tournament, contest, etc. students will need to meet the following:
Beginning of the School year or the beginning of the Spring semester:
a student must pass five subjects from the semester before (A “NC” or No Credit would be treated as a F). If they don't pass five subjects, they can't participate/compete for the first six weeks of the next school grading period.
When can the student become eligible to participate?
A student who wasn't eligible can become eligible again by passing all their classes at the end of a six-week period.
What if a new student to Mustang enrolls?
New students need to meet the same passing grade rules from their last school.
Weekly Student Eligibility Procedures:
Each school will generate an eligibility report every Friday, beginning the fourth week of each semester.
If a student is failing any class, they will be placed on probation for one week. During this probationary period, they remain eligible to miss instructional time for school activities and to participate in all events.
For students taking concurrent courses, these classes are included when determining activity eligibility.
If a student continues to fail a class the following week, their status will change from probationary to ineligible. This means they will no longer be permitted to miss instructional time for any school activity or event.
For OSSAA-sanctioned events, the student will also be ineligible for any after-school activities.
For non-OSSAA-sanctioned events, students may participate after school hours but remain ineligible during school hours.
To regain eligibility, a student must be passing all classes when the eligibility report is processed on Friday.
Additional information:
School administration may grant exceptions for activities in special circumstances.

Home Language Survey
The parent/guardian(s) of any student enrolling must complete the Home Language Survey for K-12 School Districts.
The Home Language Survey will apply to all years the student is enrolled with MPS. A new Home Language Survey must be completed in the event that a student withdraws from the district and returns at a later date.
In compliance with state and federal laws, if your child meets the state of Oklahoma's definition for "bilingual", your child will be given a language assessment placement test within 30 calendar days at the start of the school year within the first 10 (ten) days of enrollment. If your child qualifies for *ELL (English Language Learners) services, he/she will also participate in the post-testing procedures in the spring. Results of these tests will be provided for the parent's review and will be maintained in the student's cumulative folder and in other district files.
LEP (Limited English Proficient) and EL (English Learners) are interchangeable terms.

SCHEDULE CHANGES (Grades 9-12)
Course schedules should be created with the goal of providing optimal academic growth for a student.
Therefore, requests for schedule changes which result in a student being moved to a course which is, in general, below the demonstrated academic capabilities of the student will not typically be approved. In addition, requests for schedule changes due to a student’s desire to “be with a friend” or to have a specific teacher will also be denied.
Schedule changes are permitted through the first eight (8) days of the semester. Schedule changes will only be considered for legitimate reasons such as a schedule conflict, meeting graduation requirements or an inappropriate placement as determined by a teacher, counselor, or administrator. Any schedule change after the first eight (8) days of the semester will require administrative approval. See procedures for the appeal process for a change of schedule after the 8day deadline.
Schedules may be adjusted if any of the following criteria exist and space is available:
Incomplete schedules or computer errors
Duplication of courses
Student who does not meet prerequisites or does not have teacher approval
Student accepted to a special program (e.g., Career Tech)
Student placed with a teacher under whom the student previously received a failing grade
A student’s desire to take a more challenging course (no reversal at a later date)
Appeal Process for a Schedule or Teacher Change Following the 8-Day Deadline
A conference with parent(s), student, teacher, and an administrator is required. During this conference, the problem/concern will be discussed, and a plan will be formulated to assist the student and teacher in addressing the concern through mutual effort. This plan must remain in effect for a minimum of six (6) weeks before re-evaluating the situation.
If the parent feels the above plan has not been successful, he or she may contact the administrator in writing to communicate his or her continued concerns. The principal will determine, based on communication with the parent, student and teacher, whether a schedule change is in the best interest of the student.

APPEAL OF ATTENDANCE RECORD
Appeal of Attendance Record: A written appeal concerning attendance must be made to the Appeal Committee within 10 days from the last day of the semester. The appeal form is located on the High School website. Instructions for the process of submitting the form to the Appeal Committee is located on the form. Doctors’ notes should be submitted to building secretaries throughout the semester. Original doctor’s notes or other documentation should be kept for your own records. An appeal committee consisting of an administrator, teacher and counselor will review the merits of the appeal and submit a final decision to the site administrator. The decision of the committee is final.
OFFICIAL WITHDRAWAL FROM SCHOOL
If a student plans to request withdrawal from school, the parent/guardian of the student must notify the school. The student will then receive a withdrawal slip to present to each of his/her teachers and counselor. The teachers will record a withdrawal grade, which will be the grades earned during the current semester. If he/she has any state owned books, library or departmental books or supplies, he/she must return them to the counseling office. After he/she gets his/her teacher’s and counselor’s signatures on the slip, he/she must present it to the principal for approval.
HOUSEHOLD APPLICATION FOR FREE/REDUCED MEALS
Participation in the school lunch program is very important and beneficial to our students. If you feel your family may qualify for free/reduced meals, beginning on August 1st and thereafter, you can apply for free and reduced meal benefits 24/7 by applying online at mustangps.schoollunchapp.com This will be the quickest way to ensure your application is processed before school starts. However, if you prefer, you can still pick up and complete a hard copy of the application and send it to school with your child to give to the cafeteria staff, or mail it to Mustang Public Schools, 12400 S.W. 15th St., Yukon, OK 73099 Attention: Carole Peters, Child Nutrition Director. Additional applications are available at the school office or the Mustang Educational Resource Center. Applications may be completed at any time throughout the year if you’ve had a change in income, household size, etc., that might qualify your family for free/reduced meals. **Requests for applications in different languages can be made by calling the Mustang Child Nutrition Office at (405) 376-7317 or by emailing your request to petersc@mustangps.org@mustangps.org.
A new application on the correct year’s form must be filled out every year in order to qualify for the program. One application is all that is necessary per household. Please do not complete more than one application when applying. If you were on the program last year, you will be carried over on the same status temporarily, but you must re-apply before October 1st of the current school year or you will be changed back to full-price status.
You will receive a letter of notification of the status of your application. Until you receive notification, money should be sent with student to cover the price of full-priced meals.
PAYING FOR LUNCHES
Mustang elementary schools and Intermediate schools allow 6 meal charges. After the sixth charge, an alternate meal* may be provided until charges are paid. All charges must be paid before ala carte items or second trays can be purchased.
Approximately three weeks before school is out, through the end of the school year, no charging is allowed. This helps MPS collect what is owed. Therefore, during this time, if your child still has lunch charges, money will need to be put in his/her account to completely cover the charge, plus the meal for the day or bring a lunch from home. During this time, robo calls will be made two times per week to households who have a child with a negative balance as a reminder to send money.
Middle schools allow 3 meal charges. After the third charge, an alternate meal* may be provided until the charges are paid. All charges must be paid before ala carte items or second trays can be purchased.

Mustang High School has a no charging policy. In extenuating circumstances, the Child Nutrition Department will allow three (3) charges of reimbursable meals to make sure anyone who needs food receives it. After the third charge, an alternate meal* may be provided until the charges are paid. All charges must be paid before ala carte items or second trays can be purchased.

*Alternate meals may be made up of a PBJ sandwich, fruit & milk, an entrée, fruit & milk, or a cheese sandwich, fruit & milk.
**At all sites, the Principal may work with Child Nutrition on extenuating circumstances.
Student ID numbers are used the entire time the student attends Mustang Public Schools. The I.D. numbers are also the student’s lunch account numbers. The student’s account is like a bank account. If paying by cash or check, it is suggested that deposits be made in the mornings before school starts in sufficient amounts to pay for two (2) weeks of lunches. Students are not allowed to use other students’ lunch accounts or make purchases for other students.
**Online payments can be made by going to MySchoolbucks.com. Create a user account (will need student I.D.#). Payment (and purchase history) will typically show up in the student account by the next school day, but occasionally external factors may affect the process and could delay when the funds are received by the school. (Electronic check payments can take up to one week to show up in student’s account.) There is a 4.5% + .40 per transaction fee effective 1/19/2022 per each deposit transaction. You can set up a “low balance” alert to notify you when you need to make another payment. By signing up for MySchoolbucks you are able to view your child’s purchase history at no charge, even if you decide not to use the online payment program.
Meal prices can be found on the district website.
A $25.00 fee will be charged for insufficient checks – No Exceptions. Further checks will not be accepted at any school until the insufficient check is cleared up. In order to ensure that funds sent in cover any insufficient checks, please send cash or a money order rather than make an online payment.
REFUNDS
Students’ lunch account balances will automatically move with them to the next grade/school as long as they remain in the district. If your student leaves the district, you can request a refund by calling the Child Nutrition Office at (405)376-7317. Graduating students’ lunch accounts can be transferred to siblings in Mustang, refunded, or donated to pay off other childrens’ lunch accounts at parents’ request.
Refunds to lunch accounts can be made upon parental request. No cash refunds will be made at any school site. All refunds will be issued by check from the Child Nutrition Office following the monthly meeting of the Mustang Board of Education. Parents of students leaving the district must provide a forwarding address with the cafeteria cashier. If the refund check is returned to the district undeliverable, the money will be considered an outstanding warrant. After two years, the outstanding warrant is estopped (void) by law.
Note: Due to the cost of issuance, no refund will be issued if the total is less than $5.00 unless at parent’s request.
STUDENTS WITH FOOD ALLERGIES
Parents of students with food allergies should submit a current doctor’s note to the cafeteria manager stating the food allergy and recommended substitute for that food item. This information will be put into our computer system and will alert our staff as to the allergy. It is recommended that parents of students with severe food allergies contact the Child Nutrition Director at (405)376-7317 or the cafeteria manager of your child’s school to discuss menus. In order to remove an allergy note from a child’s account, the Child Nutrition Office must receive a note, dated and signed by a doctor (if the allergy was severe) or parent, stating the child no longer has that allergy.
Forms can be found on the district website under “Cafeterias” tab or upon request through the Child Nutrition Office at (405)376-7317.

SAFETY DRILLS
Mustang Public Schools practices, evaluates, and makes adjustments to safety drills throughout the school year. Each school site will practice a minimum of 10 safety drills per year in compliance with state requirements. These drills will include two tornado, two fire, four security drills and two additional (other) drills.
SECURITY PERSONNEL
Mustang Public Schools partner with local law enforcement agencies to provide security for students and staff. Mustang Public Schools has full-time School Resource Officers. Our SROs are employed through Canadian County Sheriff’s Department and the Mustang Police Department. The role of the SRO is to provide law enforcement, mentor students, and to educate school staff, students, parents, and community on law, trends, security, etc.
SEVERE WEATHER
We wanted to remind parents that once school is in session, we will not release buses early in the event of severe weather or slick/icy road conditions. There is too much danger in having young children at home with no adult present. If we need to hold buses to ensure the safety of our students, we will. As always, if you are uncomfortable with approaching weather, you can check out your child. Please be aware of the individual school’s policy on pickup if you are arriving close to the actual dismissal time. Should the outdoor warning sirens sound, children will be sheltered in the building and the front doors to the schools will be locked so our staff can get to shelter as well.
Should impending weather mean a cancellation of evening activities, the district will contact channels 4, 5, 9 and 25. The information will also be posted to the district website www.mustangps.org and the district’s social media accounts such as Facebook and Twitter. For small events, individual coaches or sponsors may also communicate with their parents directly through other mediums (please make sure to have your contact information updated as necessary).
Mustang Public Schools stays in touch with the National Weather Service in Norman and receives regular briefings. School officials also monitor weather reports on local news stations.
Signs posted on the front doors of the school will read as follows:
In the event of severe weather, which poses the threat of imminent danger to our students and staff, these doors will be locked. Students can be checked out when the weather improves and conditions are considered safe.
This decision was made by Mustang Public Schools and based on the advice of FEMA and the National Weather Service.
If you feel that you need to pick your child up from school due to severe weather, please do so early rather than waiting until a storm is approaching. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter of safety for our students and staff.
THIS FACILITY IS NOT A PUBLIC STORM SHELTER
THESE DOORS HAVE BEEN LOCKED DUE TO SEVERE WEATHER
STUDENTS CAN BE RELEASED AS SOON AS WEATHER CONDITIONS IMPROVE AND ARE CONSIDERED SAFE.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION

PARENTS RIGHT TO KNOW
Every Student Succeeds Act gives you the right as a parent to request information regarding the professional qualifications of your child’s teacher(s) including, at a minimum, the following:
Whether the teacher has met state qualification and licensing criteria for the grade level and subject areas in which the teacher provides instruction,
Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional status through which State qualification or licensing criteria has been waived,
The baccalaureate degree major of the teacher and any other graduate certification or degree held by the teacher, and the field of discipline of the certification or degree, and
Whether the child is provided services by paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications.
In addition, Every Student Succeeds Act requires the school to provide you information on the level of achievement of your child on the State academic assessments. This is something you have been given in previous years.
The law calls for you to be given timely notice that your child has been assigned or has been taught for four or more consecutive weeks by a teacher who is not state certified. This legislation recognizes the importance of the school and family working together.

STUDENT PARKING
All students who drive an automobile or other vehicle on the school grounds must purchase a parking permit and display a current registration sticker. Parking permits are available through the Central Office of the high school. The main lot is the designated student parking area (and any additional parking areas selected by district). Students who occasionally drive a vehicle other than the one normally driven to school are to notify the office, giving the description of the vehicle and tag number to receive a temporary parking pass. Vehicles parked in a staff parking spot, handicapped parking, no parking zones, or those which are illegally parked may receive a parking fine of $10.00. Three parking infractions can result in the loss of parking privileges. Parking violations of any kind may result in the use of a wheel lock, which prevents the movement of the vehicle. Moving a vehicle with a wheel lock attached will cause damage to the vehicle. Mustang Public Schools, employees of Mustang Public Schools, Mustang Police Department, and employees of the Mustang Police Department are not liable for any damages sustained from a car being driven with the wheel lock still in place. Removal of the wheel lock by a site administrator or campus resource officer will cost a fee of $25.00. Vehicles will be towed at the owner’s expense if vehicles are parked in the staff parking lot, handicapped parking, no parking areas or illegally parked.
Students who drive a vehicle to school which does not have a parking permit and who do not notify the office, shall lose the privilege of bringing a vehicle on the school grounds.
Continued parking violations by a student shall cost him/her the privilege of bringing a vehicle on the school grounds for the remainder of the school year. All student vehicles must be parked in the student parking areas. Students with motorcycles must park them in the designated and assigned areas of the student parking areas.
Students are not to be in the parking lot at any time after arriving at school unless they have an authorized pass from an instructor or the office.
REGULATIONS
Students who drive an automobile or other vehicle on the school grounds must purchase a parking permit and display a current registration sticker.
Students may only park in areas designated for student parking.
Students who drive a vehicle to school that does not have a parking permit and do not notify the office will lose the privilege of bringing a vehicle on school grounds, receive detention or the vehicle will be towed at the owner’s expense.
A parking fee of $30.00 per year shall be charged to all students who desire to drive a motor vehicle to school and meet the requirements stated in this policy. Replacement stickers will cost $5.00.
*No sticker will be replaced unless the old sticker (with the number) or proof of windshield replacement is brought to the office.
Placement of sticker is the responsibility of the student/driver. All motor vehicles must have a parking sticker permanently affixed to the front lower left window. The sticker must be placed on the inside of the window! (No exceptions!)
Persons counterfeiting, altering, defacing or transferring a parking sticker to another vehicle or person, or providing false information will be subject to disciplinary action and will face loss of parking privileges.
Vehicles shall be parked only in areas designated by the building principal for student parking.
