Out of an abundance of caution, the Indian Education Parent Committee has postponed the outdoor Back to School Bash originally scheduled for Thursday. Predicted storms Wednesday evening may cause poor conditions in the AVEDIS park amphitheater. Indian Education advisors will communicate a new indoor location and date for the event. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. If you have any questions, please contact Graham Primeaux at gprimeaux@shawnee.k12.ok.us.
Thank you!
Happy National Custodian Day to the men and women who provide our students clean, safe places to learn and grow! Thank you for the essential work you do for our schools. #ShawneeSTRONG #NationalCustodianDay

I’m of the thousands, loyal to you.
We are a legion fashioned by thee.
