Kickapoo Tribe Announcements
McLoud Family - As you may be aware, the Oklahoma State Legislature passed a new law this session that requires ALL school districts in the state to adopt a new policy and guidelines regarding Personal Electronic Devices. This law is known as the "Bell to Bell No Cell" law. It requires guidelines to prohibit the use of Personal Electronic Devices from the beginning of the school day until dismissal each day. The following link outlines the new guidelines that are required by state law
