Dana_Hamersley_smallThe Oklahoma Association of Conservation Districts (OACD) and other sponsors presented awards to outstanding conservationists and conservation educators during Conservation Day at the Capitol on March 8.  The awards ceremony took place in the Governor's Blue Room.  Dana Hamersley, high school science teacher, was chosen as one of five teachers from across the state, one from each congressional district, to receive the honor as Outstanding Conservation Educator of the Year. Mrs. Hamersley received a beautiful framed certificate and a check for $2000.00 for her efforts towards teaching conservation in her classroom.
In Mrs. Hamersley's Aquatic Biology class, students learn about aquatic ecosystems, the water cycle, and water conservation.  As a part of the course, students also participate in the Blue Thumb stream monitoring program.  She and her students have been monitoring the same site for the past seven years.  Mrs. Hamersley states that one of the significant things about this 12-week course is that she is able to reach all levels and interests of learners.  Her philosophy is "the more students we can get involved in being aware of our environment, the better."

2010-11 School Year Calendar Adopted By Board Print E-mail
Thursday, 11 March 2010 10:48

The Sperry Board of Education voted unanimously to adopt the proposed 2010-11 school year calendar at it meeting March 8. According to information presented by Dr. Brian Beagles, Assistant Superintendent, the first day of classes will be Thursday, August 12, and the last day of classes are scheduled for Thursday, May 26. Five inclement weather days are built into the calendar, meaning up to five days of classes can be canceled without affecting the remaining calendar. If less than five days are used, the district will have the option of dismissing class during the spring, or ending the school year earlier than May 26.

Additional scheduled breaks include three days for Parent/Teacher Conference Holiday and Fall Break in October, three days for Thanksgiving Break in November, ten days for Winter Break in December, and five days for Spring Break in March. Classes will also not be held on Labor Day or Presidents' Day. Another Parent/Teacher Conference Holiday is slated for April 8, and only staff will report January 17 for a professional development day.

School Year Calendar Revised Print E-mail
Thursday, 21 January 2010 11:00

The Sperry Board of Education revised the 2009-2010 school calendar as recommended at their meeting February 8. The revisions account for the instructional days already missed due to inclement weather, and add two additional weather days to the calendar in April. This means that if no additional weather days are used, there will be no school April 5 and 9. Also note:

  • As previously announced, the district will conduct classes February 15, which was previously designated as a scheduled day off.
  • To allow equal time between trimesters, the last day of the second trimester will now be February 23.
  • May 25 will still be the last day of school.

In December, the district began upgrading its child nutrition management system to allow for more accurate and complete administration of its food services program. While the initial upgrades focused on internal improvements transparent to our parents, students, and staff, we are pleased to announce the availability of Mealpay Plus, a state-of-the-art online service that provides you the convenience and information you need to manage your student’s meal account.

This system speeds up serving lines in the cafeteria, eliminates the need to send checks to school or worry about lost or forgotten lunch money, and ensures that your child will receive a nutritious meal.
