Політика Чартерних шкіл Epic полягає в забороні будь-якого цькування будь-якої особи в школі. Заборонена поведінка включає випадки цькування, спровоковані використанням електронних засобів зв'язку, спеціально спрямованих на учнів та/або шкільний персонал. Ця політика поширюється на всі школи, що входять до складу округу. Цькування – це антисоціальна поведінка, яка може відбуватися особисто або в онлайн-просторі школи, і вона відволікає як учня, на якого спрямоване цькування, так і учня, який бере участь у цькуванні. Цькування учня на основі його раси, кольору шкіри, віросповідання, інвалідності, статі, сексуальної орієнтації, віку, релігії чи будь-якої іншої особистої характеристики є підставою для дисциплінарного стягнення. 70 Оклахома. Штат. Розділ 24-100.3. Кроки для повідомлення про булінг: Про випадки булінгу слід повідомляти у «Формі звіту про булінг округу», яка має бути доступна для учнів у будь-який час протягом звичайних шкільних годин, зокрема в головному офісі/приміщенні мікросайтів, а також її можна отримати у шкільному консультаційному відділі. Надішліть форму вчителю або директору з навчальної роботи. Будь-яка особа, яка повідомляє про випадок булінгу, також може зробити це за допомогою застосунку Protect OK . Звіти можна подавати анонімно; проте жодних офіційних дисциплінарних заходів не буде вжито виключно на підставі анонімного повідомлення.

Альбутерол – це інгаляційний препарат, який швидко відкриває трубки, що переміщують повітря в легені та з них, полегшуючи дихання. Цей препарат є безпечним та ефективним. Оскільки напад астми може статися будь-коли, швидкий доступ до альбутеролу важливий для забезпечення безпеки шкіл для дітей з астмою. Кілька співробітників школи вашої дитини пройшли навчання для швидкого та безпечного реагування на респіраторні невідкладні ситуації. Хоча шкільний персонал докладе всіх зусиль, щоб зв’язатися з батьками, перш ніж давати альбутерол, закон дозволяє їм вводити альбутерол у надзвичайних ситуаціях без попереднього контакту з батьками. Якщо у вашої дитини астма, ми наполегливо рекомендуємо вам повідомити школу вашої дитини та надати їй план дій щодо астми від лікаря вашої дитини. Оскільки стандартний інгалятор альбутеролу не призначений для заміни особистого інгалятора дитини, ми також рекомендуємо вам надіслати особистий інгалятор альбутеролу для використання в школі, якщо у вашої дитини астма. Якщо у вас є будь-які запитання чи занепокоєння, будь ласка, зв’яжіться з Джессікою Джонс – Jessica.Jones@epiccharterschools.org Безкоштовні обстеження зору Звітність Stonegate Microsite February 19, 2026 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. REGISTER HERE Tulsa Logan Building March 12, 2026 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. REGISTER HERE OKC 50 Penn Place February 12, 2026 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. REGISTER HERE OKC I-35 South Microsite March 12, 2026 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. REGISTER HERE OKC Brixton Square Microsite February 5, 2026 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. REGISTER HERE

Громадські роботи Громадські послуги Epic Charter School були започатковані з вірою в те, що ми можемо принести промінь сонця іншим, служачи нашій громаді, несучи надію та ставлячись до питання «чому б і ні». Ми прагнемо показати нашим учням важливість допомоги іншим у їхній громаді. Кількість місць для кожного проєкту обмежена. Бронювання для кожного окремого проєкту буде здійснюватися в порядку живої черги, тому зареєструйтесь якомога швидше, щоб забронювати своє місце. Вікові вимоги будуть різними залежно від місця нашої роботи. Батьків та опікунів просять супроводжувати своїх учнів та забезпечувати транспорт до місця проведення проєктів та назад. Учні старших класів отримуватимуть години волонтерської роботи, що зараховуються до зарахування зарахованих балів у старшій школі.
