Parents, attendance is of utmost importance to the education of your children. To be successful in the classroom, students MUST be ON TIME and PRESENT to gain the knowledge from in-person instruction, hand-on experiences, additional one-on-one assistance, and classroom discussion that enriches the curriculum being taught.
Page 14 of the Beaver Public Schools Parent-Student Handbook outlines the attendance policies for your children:
“The Beaver Board of Education believes that in order for students to realize their fullest potential from educational efforts, they should attend all classes if possible. Realizing that some absences may be beyond a student's control, the board has adopted a policy requiring students to be in attendance a minimum of 90% each semester to receive credit for any course in which the student is enrolled… It is the responsibility of the parent to notify the school by 9:00 a.m. if a child is to be absent.
Please make every effort to assist the students of Beaver Schools to be successful in their efforts in the classroom and avoid a situation where they may not receive credit for their classes or have to repeat a grade. If you have any questions, please contact the principal in your child’s building. As always, “It’s ALWAYS a GREAT DAY to be a DUSTER!”
Come join the Elementary School for Dynamic Dusters on THURSDAY, February 29th @ 8:30 in the auditorium hosted by the first grade!

Thank you Beaver County! A message from High Plains Technology Center:
Voters Have Approved Beaver County/High Plains Technology Center Annexation.
Voters in Beaver County voted Tuesday, January 9th to approve annexation into the High Plains Technology Centers district. This will be the first CareerTech in the Oklahoma Panhandle.
“High Plains Technology Center district is very excited at the opportunities that lie in front of us to bring an area Technology center to the Panhandle of Oklahoma. The local, county, and state leadership that led the effort in bringing this vote to the people have secured increasing the educational opportunities for their students and support for the Businesses and Industries that call Beaver County home. We are excited about the annexation of Beaver County for the simple fact that Oklahoma Career Tech for the first time in our state’s history is established in the Panhandle of Oklahoma! On a personal note, I recognize that not everyone was in favor of this vote. Yet throughout the process of the information dissemination we did at town meetings this fall, respect among the people regardless of the side they were on was apparent at every discussion. In closing, I would just say America could learn a lot from the people of the Panhandle and Beaver County about how to agree and disagree and remain friends.” Barclay Holt, Superintendent, High Plains Technology Center.
High Plains Technology Center was established by a vote of the electorate of the district on April 28, 1981. The vote was held in Woodward, Mooreland, Buffalo, Fort Supply, and Sharon-Mutual school districts. After certification of the vote, the State Board of Vocational and Technical Education recognized the district to begin operation under the supervision and administration of the State Department of Career and Technology Education. Fargo joined the district in 1983, Gage in 1994 and Vici was added to the district in 2009. High Plains Technology Center is part of a network of 29 career technology centers across the state. Pending approval from the Oklahoma CareerTech State Department, HPTC's district will now encompass all of Beaver County as well.
The January Board of Education meeting for Beaver Public Schools has been rescheduled for Friday, January 12, 2024 at 4:00 pm in the Board of Education Room at Beaver High School, 807 Ave. G in Beaver.
