***Lunch Account Information***

Our cafeteria manager, Kim Hay has asked that you check with your child to see if they need money on their account. The Power School balance is not showing correctly. You can email Mrs. Hay at: for a balance.

Attendance and Check-In

If your child is ill or will not be in school for some reason, please let us know by calling the school’s attendance line, (405) 715-9851. If you bring your child to school late, please come into the office and check them in. We now have our security check-in computer. It is like those found in the elementary schools. If you plan to visit our school, volunteer, or meet with a teacher or staff member you are asked to check in there and receive a printed badge. Thank you for your cooperation.

DCIS Antler Wear

Our Antler Wear Store will be open on the first Friday of each month during lunch hours. Please stop by or send money with your student to purchase some of the greatest fashions in Deer Creek wear.
Parent Contact

If the phone number you have given to us as your contact number is not a local number, we request that you contact the office with a non-long distance number that we can use to reach you. If you do not have such a number, please make sure the office has an email that we can reach you with. Our current phone system charges for long distance calls and it’s important that we have local numbers to use when needing to contact parents.

/ / Late Start
There will be no more Late Start Wednesdays this school year. Our Late Start schedule will resume next school year.

Traffic Help
You may have noticed that we have a sign designating cars to only turn right upon leaving the school during drop off and pick up times. The reason we do this is to assist cars in getting through the line quicker and more safely. Please help us by following these rules. Cars are to turn right leaving the school until 7:45 am and again until 2:45 pm. When cars try to turn left during the car line, it impedes cars leaving and coming in. Thank you for your assistance.

Lunch with Students
We strongly encourage and welcome you to come and have lunch with your child. We have special areas in the cafeteria where you can join your child. You may bring lunch for your child and yourself, but we cannot allow you to bring food to the other students. While it is wonderful to share this time with the kids, it can be very hurtful to those who are not included or invited to eat with you. In addition we have several students with food allergies. Please help us by abiding by this request.

Parent Portal
If you are having difficulty accessing your child’s information on the Parent Portal, Please go to the District’s main page and under Parents you will find the directions for setting up your account. If you are still having trouble, please call our office and one of our secretaries will help you.

Cell Phones
Please remember that we ask all students that bring cell phones to school to please turn them off while at school. Making phone calls or texting without permission may result in having them taken away and a parent retrieving them from the office. If this happens too often, a student may not be allowed to bring the phone to school at all. Please help us to use our electronics wisely and appropriately.
