A Note from the Principal
I don’t know about you, but I am definitely not ready for all of this cold weather. I guess I should
get ready it seems to be here to stay for a while. I hope everyone is ready for a great holiday season; I
know our students and staff our ready for a long break. I know the holiday season can really be hectic
with travel and seeing family, but I encourage you to take a minute and remember what this season is
really all about.
During these times, it is always important for parents to continually be involved in what their
child is doing at school. Those students who are in high school (7-12) should always be careful with
grades and attendance. It is important to note that students who our absent more than 10 days in a
semester will not be allowed to pass that semester and forced to retake classes, so parents be aware of
your child’s attendance at school and try to schedule doctors and dentist appointments accordingly.
Our new FFA chapter is off to a great start. We have over 60 students enrolled in Agriculture
Education classes in grades 8th through 12th. They have been very active this first semester participating
in actives such as Opening Ceremonies contest, AFR Speech contest, Made for Excellent and Advanced
Leadership Development Conferences, as well as many students who have bought show projects for the
spring livestock show season. I believe that FFA/Ag. Ed. is a great addition to our curriculum here at
Calumet, which is teaching our students valuable leadership skills that will help them throughout their
life.
Last but not least, I would like to encourage you to attend a home basketball game. All of our
teams have got off to a very successful start. Our boys placed 4th in the Canton tournament and our girls
are currently ranked 14th in the state and won the consolation bracket at Canton tournament. Our
student’s athletes work very hard to be successful and appreciate all the support of the Calumet fans in
attendance.
Sincerely,
Chuck Hood
H.S. Principal

Bond Issue- New Elementary & Transportation Equipment
As everyone knows by now, the Board of Education has spent many painstaking hours
of time to call a Bond issue that would build a new elementary. This bond, to be voted on
January 13, 2015, has two Propositions.
Proposition number one is for $6,150,000 to provide funds for the purpose of
constructing a new Elementary School. In this building there will be nine new classrooms,
two of which will also be safe rooms, a new library, and total remodeling of Elementary
Principals’ office and computer lab.
Proposition number two is for $360,000 to purchase transportation equipment. This
proposition number two will buy four new route buses.
WINTER WEATHER
As usual, winter in Oklahoma signals period of cold and sometimes adverse
weather conditions for Calumet School District. Continued snow and icy roads may
result in school closing for students..
In the event school starts late, dismisses early, or cancels due to inclement
weather; all news media in the area will be notified immediately. Parents should keep
their televisions on major network Channels (ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX) for
possible cancellation due to bad weather.
If very many days are missed due to adverse weather, we may have to add some
days to the end of the school year or spring break. Some “Snow Days” are already in
the calendar.
Schools are generally closed when it is determined by the school administration
that buses cannot operate safely due to adverse weather. However, the most
hazardous areas for school buses to travel are paved highways. When the weather is
bad, we remind all bus drivers to be cautious and drive defensively. Our drivers
realize that the safety of the children is their top priority.
Cheer News
CHS Cheerleaders are having Cheer Clinic on Sunday, January 11th, from
1-5pm. T-shirt and snacks will be provided and included in the price of $25 per child.
The kids that participated will be performing at the January 13, 2015, home ball
game against Gracemont. More information will be sent with your student at the
beginning of January.
