Pailynn Voegeli - JH
Pheonyx Miller - HS

In times like these, the true spirit of community shines the brightest. Though our schools may wear different colors and cheer from different sidelines, we are united together by something much greater - the love we hold for our young people and the hope we carry for their futures. We know the road ahead will not be easy for our neighbors in Minco, but you will not walk it alone. Our hearts, our prayers, and our strength are with you as your wounds, hearts, and minds begin to heal. Together, we rise - not as separate towns, but as one family. #MincoStrong

Good morning Am-Po parents and guardians. This past spring, the Oklahoma state legislature passed a law that prohibits the use of personal electronic devices during the school day by students. The policy adopted by Amber-Pocasset Public Schools can be found at: https://core-docs.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/70/AmPo_Schools/13848/FNG_Personal_Electronic_Devices-Amended_8-4-25-C.pdf or by scanning the QR code on the attached informational flyer. The last page of the policy also has links to our online MS/HS and Elementary handbooks. You can look at pages 23-24 of the MS/HS handbook or page 20 of the Elementary handbook to see the changes. You can also navigate to www.amposchools.org and find each handbook as a link under "MENU". Usually with big changes, there come some growing pains. We look forward to helping you and your students navigate this new law as best we can during the school year.

Sincerely,
Jason Goostree
