Morning
Arrival Window for OPS Elementary Schools: 8:45 AM-9:00 AM
Stone Canyon is a hub of activity in the mornings and student safety is our top priority. Please assist us in making sure students arrive at school safely. If someone other than yourself is responsible for getting your child to school, please make sure they are aware of our procedures. Stone Canyon Elementary does not open until 8:45 in the morning. Any student arriving before that time is not permitted inside the building and is therefore unsupervised. Please help us avoid any unsafe situation, such as this.
AM Pre-K Arrival: 8:45 AM-9:00 AM
Stone Canyon has a special car loop for Pre-K arrival and dismissal. For the Pre-K car loop, please enter into the main front entrance to the school parking lot and pull up to the doors with a large K on the building. Beginning at 8:45, there will be personnel available to assist children exiting cars.
Attendance, Tardiness & Late Arrivals
If your child is absent from school,
call the attendance number 918-274-1634 to report the absence between 8:15 AM and 9:45 AM each day he/she is absent. Any student who is absent is considered unexcused until a parent calls the attendance office.
We work hard to maintain a positive and welcoming school climate that both supports and encourages our students and the way we start our day together matters. Our tardy bell rings at 9:00 a.m. and students are considered tardy at that point as our morning classes commence. Students arriving late must check in at the main office. We actively monitor arrival and attendance trends and may reach out to you to assist in supporting your child’s regular or timely attendance.
Bus Riders
Car Riders
Students that are brought to school by car, will enter the main entrance on the west end of our campus off of 177th East Ave by our marquee and then follow the drive around the east end of our campus eventually circling around to our north back doors by the gym/cafeteria. The drop-off line begins at the north back doors. Students are not permitted to exit the vehicle until there is a staff member on duty to greet them. Beginning at 8:45, there will be personnel available to assist children both outside and inside.
Walkers & Bike Riders
Students who walk or ride their bikes should time their travel to school to arrive as close to 8:45 as possible. Students arriving before this time are unsupervised. These students will enter through the back door on the north side of the building when the school opens at 8:45.
Parking Parents
Our parking lot is a busy place. Parents are encouraged to remain in their vehicles and use the drop-off loops. However, if there is a need for parents to park their vehicle in the parking lot, parents MUST escort their child to the sidewalk or front door. Please do not signal to your child it is safe for them to cross alone, an adult needs to accompany them. Students are not permitted to enter the school until 8:45. Additionally, we have a morning drop-off loop that is quite active, which adds morning traffic, so please be alert when crossing.
Student Arrival
Students will report directly to their classroom or cafeteria if they are eating breakfast.
