Superintendent’s Report

Our district is so fortunate to have School Board members who are dedicated to our learners and do
so much to provide resources and opportunity for our students. With January being School Board
appreciation month, please join me in celebrating the leadership of our School Board members.

The Pryor High School Poms Squad are state champions! They placed first in the 5A large squad Hip
Hop competition. Members of the team include Delaney Groblebe, Kaytlynn Hayes, Ava Sharp, Abby
Fell, Claudia Cummings, Mia Fell, Liv Sharp, Lily Ortiz, Macie Marshall, Kennedy Lewis, Abby
Summerlin, Allie Walker, Lexie Young, Kylin Bowman, and Hallee Cowan.

Unfortunately, the number of students and staff members who are testing positive for COVID-19 has
increased now that the omicron variant is the most prevalent in the state. We will continue to monitor
the district’s ability to provide appropriate instruction and supervision for students. Distance Learning
decisions will be made on a site by site basis with the goal of keeping as many students face-to-face
as possible.
