District requests parent participation in state survey |
The Oklahoma School Climate Survey was developed by the Oklahoma Department of Education as part of their new A-F report card rating system for schools. Schools can earn bonus points on their report card based on the participation of district parents and students in this survey. Mustang students will have an opportunity to take the survey during the school day. We ask parents to take a few moments to answer this short, 7-question survey, available HERE. We thank you for your participation.

Special Olympians headed to competition |
|
Mustang's Special Olympians left this week for their annual statewide competition in Stillwater. At Mustang North Middle School, students held a pep rally to encourage the school's Special Olympians and wish them well at competition. North's band, cheerleaders and others were a part of the festivities. Staff even put together a banner contest and each of North's advisory classes made a banner celebrating the school's Olympians. Above, Mrs. Astley's 8th grade advisory class was chosen as the overall winner out of 27 advisory classes. Below, the Olympians competed to see who could wrap a school administrator in toilet paper. Another pep rally sendoff was held at Mustang High School as well. Good luck to all the district's Special Olympians!

Bond 2012 construction to get underway |
Planning and preparation for the Bond 2012 construction projects is underway! The MPS school board voted to approve MA+ and Corbin & Merz as the architects for the bond projects. Timberlake Construction was approved as the construction manager.
Officials with the district's bonds and construction department told the board that after the end of the school year, the first project to get underway will be the remodeling of the Mid-High building. After Mid-High staff complete their move to the MHS campus, the former Mid-High will be remodeled as the fifth and sixth grade center that will serve students on the south side of the district. The west side of the Mid-High building will serve as the staging area for construction. This will not impact traffic around the Mid-High building, or the driveway that leads to Mustang Middle School, the board was told.
Shortly after that, the construction will begin for the north side's fifth and sixth grade center. Project coordinators said they plan to break ground in late July or early August on the new building. The district is already working with architects to design the facility. Both fifth-sixth grade centers will be ready by the fall of the 2013-14 school year. |
