The five members of the Kingfisher Board of Education serve

staggered five year terms. One member of the Board is elected each

year, usually in February. Each member must be a qualified elector

and must live within the Kingfisher School District and within the sub

-district he/she will represent.

Board members are volunteers and receive no compensation for

their service. They meet at least once each month and may meet more

often as needed. They are responsible for supervising the education

program of the Kingfisher School District. To do this, Board mem-

bers hire a Superintendent of Schools who is responsible for the day

to day operation of the district.

The superintendent employs building principals and teachers with

the approval of the Board. The superintendent must be certified by

the State of Oklahoma and meet other requirements as established by

law or the State Board of Education.

Board members are unique in government in that their authority

exists only while serving during an official meeting. As individuals,

Board members have no power or authority, however, they are open

to hearing from patrons at any time and will bring concerns to official

meetings.

The Board usually meets the first Monday of each month at 7:00

p.m. at the Board of Education Building located at 602 Chisholm

Drive, Kingfisher, Oklahoma 73750.

The Open Meeting Law of Oklahoma requires that all public bod-

ies conduct their meetings in public and patrons of the district are

welcome and encouraged to attend Board meetings. Provisions are

made at the beginning of each meeting to hear patron comments. Fur-

ther compliance with the Open Meeting Law provides for the posting

of the Board‟s agenda at the Board of Education Building at least two

business days prior to a meeting (usually on the Thursday prior to a

meeting).

During an official meeting, only those items listed upon the posted

agenda may be voted and acted upon except in cases of emergency.

Special meetings may be called to act upon items discussed but not

voted upon.

The members of the Kingfisher Board of Education for the 2010-

2011 school year are: Mr. Scott Ulsaker, Mr. Mike Copeland, Mr.

Randy Farrar, Mr. Roland Mulherin and Mr. Brad Shepherd.

It is with much pleasure that I write this message to you today. The school board of the Kingfisher Public School District has

given me a wonderful opportunity to serve in the very best community and school in the state. I must applaud our outstanding

and accomplished teachers and support staff for their awesome dedication to their students and this school district and to the

community. There is a very high level of “Teacher Expectation” from their students throughout the entire system and its shows

through our student‟s performance. There is genuine caring and concern for the student‟s successes shown by all of our admin-

istrators, faculty and staff. Also, we thank the community for its overwhelming support of our district this past year. Kingfisher

is not your ordinary community or school district. It is way above and very close to the top. There has been so much apprecia-

tion shown to this school, its students, faculty and administration by the patrons of this community. It is that standard of excel-

lence, appreciation and expectation that will continue to make this one of the truly great school districts of Oklahoma.

Look for a reason to make contact with each school board member, buy them a cup of coffee, and ask what you can do to help.

I really enjoyed being here and being involved in all the educational offerings of our school district. This is a great community

and school district and a wonderful place to work. It was that way when I came. It has been nurtured by caring professionals

before me. Please come visit our schools and get acquainted with all of us. Thank you.

I would like to express my gratitude to the Kingfisher Board of Education and the community of

Kingfisher for giving me the opportunity to serve as Superintendent of schools. In front of the

high school are the words “making a difference.” It is a very deserving phrase for such a won-

derful school system who does make a positive difference in the lives of the children who attend.

Kingfisher is known as one the best schools throughout the state for its excellence both in aca-

demics and extra-curricular activities. The goals and expectations are set very high for our stu-

dents. We must continue to work together as a school and community, not only to achieve state

awards, but national accomplishments as well.

In the short amount of time I have been involved with Kingfisher Public school, I have admired

the amount of support that is given to our students to help ensure their educational success. The

Board of Education is committed to give the resources that are necessary to ensure success and

also to help implement new programs by the administrators and teachers. As evident with our

yearly test scores, our teaching staff is second to none to make sure that they are preparing all of

the students for college and other career opportunities when they graduate. I am very dedicated to

the task on hand to not only maintain, but to elevate the pride and excellence for Kingfisher Pub-

lic Schools.

One of the greatest factors that contribute to a school‟s success rate is the amount of parental in-

volvement with their children. Whether it is supporting them at home with educational activities

or giving feedback to school personnel, we welcome each and everyone‟s input as to what ideas

you may have to make Kingfisher Public Schools a better place for all of the children in the dis-

trict. I invite you to share your thoughts with me at any time. Once again, I thank you for this op-

portunity and look forward to meeting you in the near future.

Sincerely,

Jason Sternberger

The Kingfisher Public Schools were established in 1891 and

graduated their first senior class in 1894. Since that time, this

school district has developed and maintained a reputation for

excellence in academics and co-curricular activities second to

none. In addition, this district‟s high school has been a member

of the North Central Association of Secondary Schools for more

than eighty years. Membership in this voluntary accreditation

organization guarantees high standards and acceptance by other

North Central schools of credits awarded by the Kingfisher dis-

trict.

This school district continues to improve the opportunities it

offers to the children of the Kingfisher community and strives to

remain on the cutting edge of new developments in technology

and teaching methods. All classrooms are wired for the Internet

and teachers and students are conversant with the latest online

research techniques.

The success of the Kingfisher Schools has been made possible,

largely through the cooperation and support of the families of the

children enrolled and of the community in general. The King-

fisher Schools strive to be open and friendly and visitors are al-

ways welcome. Please feel free to visit with the building princi-

pal and he will be delighted to show you the building and give

you the opportunity to see young people learning and to observe

a superb teaching staff.

Attendance

Oklahoma law requires school attendance of all children be-

tween the ages of five and eighteen years of age. The Kingfisher

Board of Education policy further requires that students attend

classes at least 90% of the time to receive credit.

Enrollment

Students enroll in the Kingfisher Schools at the building site

for their grade level. Elementary students (grades Pre/K–4) enroll

at the Geen Gilmour Elementary School located at 1400 South

Oak Street, Grades 5-8 enroll at Kingfisher Middle School lo-

cated at 601 South 13th Street, and High School students enroll

at Kingfisher High School located at 1500 S. 13th Street.

Students who have not been previously enrolled in Kingfisher

Public Schools will be required to provide information about

previous schools and an up-to-date immunization record. Addi-

tional information may be requested according to law and district

policy.

Food Service

On an average day, about 750 lunches are served to Kingfisher

students and faculty by our food service staff. The student nutri-

tion program is multi-faceted and first among its objectives is to

provide one third of each child‟s daily nutritional requirement.

Learning about good nutrition and its contribution to good health

are other objectives.

The Kingfisher district also provides a Breakfast Program that

serves about 250 breakfasts daily to grades Pre-K through high

school seniors.

Transportation

The Kingfisher District encompasses 189 square miles located

entirely within Kingfisher County. Bus transportation is available

to all rural students. Seven rural bus routes carry approximately

450 students per day. Special services are also provided for

handicapped or disabled students.

Special Education

The Kingfisher School District provides complete services to

those students who require special attention. The district has

special education classes at each school site with specially certi-

fied instructors who are trained to deal with the special needs of

students whether their needs involve mental, behavioral, or learn-

ing disabilities.

For more information about these special programs, contact

your child‟s building principal.

Title I

The Title I program serves students in reading and math skills.

Students who experience difficulty in these areas are referred

to Title I instructors to determine eligibility for assistance. These

instructors conduct an individual evaluation of the referred stu-

dents and design techniques for helping them. These programs

are designed primarily to meet the needs of younger students

with the belief that the sooner the students receive extra help, the

easier it will be for them to progress through school.

School Closings

regarding school closings. You may also call the Superinten-

dent's office at 375-4194 for information.

From the

Assistant Superintendent

Fancy sayings or philosophical musings in a school’s mission statement are merely words unless they’re implemented with love, care, and purpose. At Kingfisher Schools we make it our mission to be fully engaged and synergistically focused so our kids can experience, grow, and develop in a strong and vibrant school district. One of my responsibilities as Assistant Superintendent is to encourage the professional growth of our faculty, enabling us to accomplish the ordinary in extraordinary fashion. Currently our district is at the very top in every educational category. Attaining and maintaining this status is just a means to an end; the concluding results being the proliferation of the next generation of leaders that will continue our school’s heritage of graduating pillars of success and strength. In order for our students to thrive without distraction, we emphasize effective and open communication channels between teachers, parents and caregivers. In partnership with parents and caregivers, our goal is to guide students in problem solving skills, to encourage them to listen to their hearts, to understand the importance and scope of well-meant criti-cism, and to stretch themselves academically, all in an effort to help them reach their full potential. With the help and participation of active parents and caregivers, we believe a student’s potential is limitless. It is the strength of unity within our community of parents, faculty, and school board that truly makes Kingfisher a special place for students to attend school. I once heard a quote from another Educator that keenly summarizes the attributes that are key to the success of Kingfisher Schools: “If you want an opportunity to bring out the best in your child, put them in the best environment possi-ble.” Terry Payne

Assistant Superintendent

You Can Help Kingfisher Schools Federal Programs

Assisting in the Education of Students

Did you know that Kingfisher Schools receives money for each student on our Title IX roll? The government gives

a flat fee for any student with a 506 form on file. The 506 form simply states that the student is part Native American – the

percentage is not on the form. Any student with any Native American ancestory, even several generations ago, can qualify.

The only information required for the 506 count is the student‟s name, the tribe the ancestor belonged to and a parent sig-

nature on the form. If a form is turned in, this does not require you to join any clubs or attend any meetings. It also does

not necessarily mean you are listing Native American as your primary race. With the Title IX funds that our school re-

ceives, we are able to provide after-school tutoring to all students regardless of age, race, creed, sex, or physical disability.

The funds also pay for technology such as computers for students in the classroom.

If you know that you have a Native American background and you haven‟t filled out a form for your child, please

contact the school. If you are unsure, call and we can tell you if you need to add your child‟s name to the list. Kingfisher

also participates in other grants that are funded primarily on the basis of the free and reduced lunches that are provided

for students who qualify. Check out the opportunities to help your child and support our school through participating in

the free and reduced lunch program.

Increasing our count will benefit all students, and it is such an easy process. Get in

touch with your school and help our kids today!

Geen Gilmour Elementary 1400 South Oak

Preparing Leaders With A Vision

Charles Willis High School Principal

As this era in my life is coming to a close and I look forward to retirement, I am pleased to say that I have

been a part of one of Oklahoma‟s finest Public Schools. To all of you that have dedicated your time talents

and contributions to insure the educational advantage of our students I say thank you. It has indeed been a

pleasure to watch our students develop into today‟s leaders and I implore you to continue to support the edu-

cation and development of our youth.

As a progressive high school, Kingfisher High School is recognized across the state and nation, the out-

standing KHS faculty and staff works diligently with our community, state and national leaders to ensure

that KHS students have the best advantage to be prepared for life. With continued excellence in academ-

ics and extra-curricular programs, KHS will continue to assist students in excelling in venues of educa-

tional excellence.

Again parents I extend our appreciation for the outstanding support and guidance that you provide through-

out the year. Your continued support and involvement as a promotional force in your child's education is

ever more crucial. As a part of our continued commitment of communication, KHS will offer on line access

to your student performance through MAS Grade Book which allows parents a direct link to help monitor

their child‟s performance in the classroom.

Remember the KHS door is always open and if at any time you have questions we encourage you to contact

us. We would like to say thank you for allowing us the opportunity to share in the lives of our future, your

children.

Charles Willis

High School Principal

From High School Dean of Students

As Dean of Students of Kingfisher High School it is my honor to work with the young adults of our commu-

nity on a daily basis. Our students are proof that the community, parents, and teachers of Kingfisher are de-

voted to the success of our students and are vested in the future of our community. “Life-long learning” is a

term used in many educational circles and continues to be the foundation of our efforts at Kingfisher High

School. As educators, we are dedicated to providing our students the opportunity for academic success, as

well as, a firm foundation to build on in the future.

I am extremely excited to start the new school year and anticipate great things from our students. It is an

honor and a privilege to work in such a devoted and renowned school district. Please feel free to call or drop

by and see for yourself the future being built at Kingfisher High School.

Go Yellowjackets!

Redlands Community College and the King-

fisher School System continue a partnership that

is now more than a decade old. Both schools

have agreed to work together for the mutual

benefit of each institution and their students.

Today, education doesn‟t end with the high

school diploma. For nearly everyone, additional

education will be needed beyond high school

whether that education is vocational-technical

training and special work related classes, an as-

sociates degree, or an advanced college degree.

There‟s just no question; to remain current on

the latest information and techniques, additional

training and classes will be required.

Recognizing these needs, Redlands Commu-

nity College, headquartered in El Reno, and the

Kingfisher Schools have cooperated to bring

college classes to the community of Kingfisher.

Kingfisher area students (adults, high school

seniors, and in some instances even high school

juniors) may take a variety of courses each se-

mester and during the summer.

Redlands Community College classes serve

recent high school graduates and many more as

well. Students still in high school can take

„„concurrent courses‟‟ for college credit. Sen-

iors who have scored at least a 19 on their

ACT, 1st semester juniors with at least a 24

and 2nd semester Juniors who have at least a

21 on their ACT can enroll in regular credit

college classes.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, it is pos-

sible for a high school student to complete a se-

mester of college work before graduating from

high school, possibly even more. This means a

wonderful saving in time and money plus it pro-

vides the student with a head start not only in

credits but also in adjustment to the college at-

mosphere.

As a special incentive for underclassmen to

take college classes, the Kingfisher Board of

Education has made it possible for high

school students to count the Redlands college

Government class for both high school and

college credit. For more information see the

counselor. Many other students take classes as well. In

addition to the traditional just out of high school

college student, many non-traditional students

take classes too. People of all ages, even senior

citizens, have taken classes in Kingfisher. Some

want to finish their Associate‟s Degree. Others

whose college was delayed by work, marriage,

children, etc., now want to start on their dream.

Some need to upgrade their skills and still others

are just interested in continuing their learning.

Whatever the need, RCC wants to work with the

Kingfisher Schools to help meet that need. As a

special bonus, persons over age 65 may take

classes for audit at no charge. Now, with a modern high school facility lo-

cated at 1500 S. 13th Street in Kingfisher, even

more opportunities will present themselves.

Well equipped Science Labs welcome more sci-

ence classes and a „„fiber-optic‟‟ classroom

opens Redlands Classes to the whole world! The

day may come when students will have to visit

the Redlands campus for only a few classes

prior to obtaining a degree.

Educational opportunity is the sincere mission

of the Kingfisher Schools. From „„Distance

Learning‟‟ through televised instruction, to mid-

dle school exploratory classes, to advanced high

school classes, to Redlands Community College

classes, it is possible to get an outstanding edu-

cation in Kingfisher. For questions or more in-

formation, please call 375-4191 and speak with

the Redlands Community college site coordina-

tor.

"Oklahoma’s Academic Performance Index (API) has given our state a boost on recent federal legislation regarding

accountability and reporting practices," said State Superintendent Sandy Garrett.

With minor adjustments for compliance, the API has been submitted to the United States Department of Educa-

tion (USDE) for use as Oklahoma‟s single accountability system, required under the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB)

of 2001.

The entire nation is undergoing great change in educational policy, stemming largely from the NCLB Act of

2001. Federal legislation under this Act requires many amendments to current policy, effective immediately.

The API, defined in state law under Title 70 O.S. § 3-150 and 3-151, is a numeric score, ranging from 0-1500,

that indicates school performance based primarily upon state-mandated tests but also upon other contributing factors to a

school‟s educational success. The seven educational indicators set forth in the API law (the factors in the API formula)

are:

1. Oklahoma School Testing Program (OSTP) scores

2. Attendance rates

3. Dropout rates

4. Advanced Placement participation and performance (secondary schools)

5. Graduation rates (secondary schools)

6. ACT average scores (secondary schools)

7. College remediation rates (secondary schools)

The purpose of the API is to measure success and initiate growth in school and district performance in our state.

It is important to remember that because of vast differences in size, location, demographics, etc. among Oklahoma

schools, the State Department of Education (SDE) urges caution in comparing the score of one school or district to that of

another. The emphasis of the API is growth with each school and district; the focus should remain on meeting or exceed-

ing established annual targets.

Test scores comprise at least 80 percent of each school's API score depending upon whether or not a school site

is a high school or the district includes a high school. The state-mandated tests utilized are given in Grades 3, 4, 5, 8 and

End of Instruction Tests (EOI).

To ensure validity and reliability of the data relative to small numbers of students, API baseline scores are re-

ported only for schools who have 30 or more state mandated test scores at that site in the 2004-2005 school year. The

School/District Report Cards with the API Index provide a detailed picture of both areas of success and areas needing

improvement. The tests are administered at grades 3, 4, 5, 8 & EOI, and results from both reading and math are used in

the API. The SDE is awaiting further federal guidance before determining the expected annual targets.

Because Oklahoma schools vary greatly in aspects such as size, demographics and location, the API score of one

school or district does not necessarily compare to the API score of another school or district. By way of a comparable

example, the average ACT composite score reflects the performance of a sizable sample of students across the nation on

just one test. However, ACT posts a notice on every national release that the "average scores should not be interpreted as

providing grounds for an explicit or implicit ranking of the various states‟ educational systems." The API brings together

five different sets of test scores for various grade levels and six additional indicators of school performance and through a

complex formula arrives at a single score.

The state-wide report card is on the web at: http://schoolreportcard.org/2009/reports/

Kingfisher Students Reach for Success as Scholarships Recipients

More than $1,938,210 Awaits KHS Grads

By Karla Eischen, KHS Counselor

The price of a college education seems to be extremely high. However, there is money available to

help pay for a college education. In fact, students have many sources of financial aid available to them such

as grants, loans, and scholarships.

Armed with a resume, a letter of recommendation, and several applications, the seniors at Kingfisher

High School haven‟t been job hunting all year but scholarship hunting. The seniors search for scholarships

to help offset the staggeringly high costs that come with a higher education. Hard work, dedication, and de-

termination have been the keys for the KHS senior class of 2011. As of this date, they have been awarded

$1,938,210 in scholarships. Some of the larger scholarships included: Derek Patterson - $947,580 including

Tulsa University, Northwestern Oklahoma State University, Southern Nazarene University, Oklahoma Bap-

tist University, University of Central Oklahoma, OCA, Beverly Schaberg-Darrough; Taylor Holt – $159,200

Kingfisher High School provides many opportunities for seniors to seek scholarships and work in

this area actually begins during the freshman year. Conferences are held with parents and students and tests

measuring student interests are used to encourage thought about future education opportunities.

Student‟s also complete four-year plans, which outline their education goals for their high school

years, and many teachers spend class time discussing careers and the educational preparation required for

them. In addition, the district sponsors frequent career interest activities so those students can meet with in-

dividuals currently working in a career of their interest. A Career Center has been established in the library

to give students a variety of materials on careers of their choice.

KHS Photography

KHS STUDENT PHOTOGRAPHERS

Several Kingfisher High School student photographers have been recognized for their

work at the National Youth Photo Competition of the Photography Society of American. Their

photos had previously been selected for recognition at the Oklahoma Camera Club Youth Photogra-

phy Competition.

At the OK Camera Club Competition, KHS Assistant Chief Photographer Caleb Deane re-

ceived a first place award in the Landscape/Waterscape category for his photo “Clouds of Fire”

taken in Grand Teton National Park. In total, fourteen of the thirty photos recognized were from

KHS. The Oklahoma Camera Club Youth Photo Competition is the equivalent of “state” for a

sports team.

According to Carol McCreary of the Oklahoma Camera Club, a large percentage of the pho-

tos displayed at the National Competition were from Oklahoma and many of those were from King-

fisher.

KHS Photography Sponsor Dr. A. J. Johnson said, “Our student photographers have done

well every year and this year was no exception. I certainly appreciate their efforts.”

KHS Photography students also took their annual photography field trip; this year to Taos,

New Mexico where they learned about landscape photography and special lighting conditions.

They also attended the Taos Balloon Festival getting some very interesting shots.

Johnson added, “None of these activities would have been possible without the cooperation

and encouragement of the Kingfisher Schools‟ administration and Board of Education. Because of

them these students have state of the art equipment, unique photographic opportunities and the op-

portunities to express themselves through photography. Within the last few years, four students

who got their initial photography training at KHS have gone on to graduate with photography de-

grees and find employment as professional photographers. ”

Your calls, suggestions, and visits are welcomed by the staff of the King-

fisher Schools. For more information please refer to our web site at: www.kingfisher.k12.ok.us

Gilmour Elementary

When sending breakfast/lunch money with your child, please put it in an envelope marked with the

child‟s name, teacher, amount, and how much money is to go towards breakfast and/or lunch. Unless

the parent specifies, all money will be applied to the student‟s lunch account.

We encourage parents to prepay for your child‟s meals. Meals may be paid by the week, month, se-

mester, or year. Any unused money may be carried over to the next week, month, semester, or year.

Each student will be issued a lunch card. Damaged or lost cards will cost $1.00 to replace the first

time and will increase $1.00 each time thereafter. This amount will automatically be charged to your

child‟s account.

Parents will receive a note regarding your child‟s breakfast/lunch charges the first school day after the

last day of the month. Your child‟s charges need to be paid, along with money for future meals within

three school days. If charges are not paid by the 4th day, your child will receive a peanut butter sand-

wich, fruit and milk. He/she will continue to receive this meal until charges are paid in full.

Parents are welcome to join children for lunch anytime, but we request that you phone the school sec-

retary by 8:00 a.m. the day you wish to eat. The cost is $3.00 for any age guest meal.

Children may purchase extra milk.

Any questions regarding your child‟s account should be directed to the Cashier. You may con-

tact her at 375-4010 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Middle and High School Each high school student will be issued a meal card. Students must present this card to receive a meal.

If a student does not have his/her meal card, he/she will be asked to go to the end of the line until every-

one has been served.

Meal money may be paid from 7:30 a.m. to 10:45 a.m., and from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. No money

will be received during the serving period.

mailed to the cashier. Please send to: Dawn Newton, Middle School, 601 S. 13th, Kingfisher, OK

73750 or Linda Murphey, Kingfisher High School, 1500 S. 13th, Kingfisher, OK 73750. If you have any

questions, please call the cashier at the respective school to inquire about your child‟s account. The

Middle School kitchen number is 375-5167 and the High School kitchen number is 375-4703.

Students may not accumulate more than $6.00 in charges at a time. Charge notes will be given to stu-

dents daily at the point of service. If your child reaches this limit an attempt to contact parents will be

made, and he/she will receive the peanut butter sandwich, fruit, and milk lunch until charges are paid.

Lost or damaged cards will cost $1.00 to replace the first time and will increase $1.00 each time there-

after.

Kingfisher Public Schools in conjunction with Families First,

the Department of Human Services, and Kingfisher County Health

Department have joined hands to strengthen the bond between the

schools, families, and the local community. Together these

entities formulate the Kingfisher Community Collaborative

(KCC). During the school year, each team meets regularly to

assess new referrals and evaluate progress with on-going cases.

Our mission is to give support and choice to children and families

regarding health and wholeness. We also empower families to

provide a safe and encouraging environment for their children.

Currently working with Kingfisher Schools is a school based

nurse and Helen Naifeh a School based social worker. We are

proud to have outstanding individuals working to improve our

school and community.

Education of our young people is an investment in the future. A commit-

ment to excellence in education is the hallmark of Kingfisher Public Schools. Sup-

port for education is a tradition and a trust our community has chosen to honor.

The Kingfisher Educational Foundation (KEF) continues to support King-

fisher Schools through activities, projects, and monetary grants to teachers. Each

year, the KEF gives thousands of dollars in grants that provide for projects ranging

from new geographical maps, head-phones for listening and reading, computer-

aided technology, to specific projects like start-up funds for resurfacing the old track

field.

Each year the Foundation holds a Duck Race to kick off the start of new

year. The little rubber-duckies continue to be a great success and the Foundation

raises thousands of dollars during the event.

The High School Flag Plaza continues to be a focus of attention for the

Foundation and anyone interested in purchasing a brick for the plaza may contact

Vicki Rother at 375-3121 .

The Foundation continues to work for our schools and accepts contributions

to the principal account throughout the year. Its governing board meets the 2nd

Thursday of each month at the Kingfisher Board of Education Building at 7:00 a.m.

and the public is welcome to attend.
