Broken Arrow Public Schools juniors will take the SAT exam on Tuesday, April 13. Juniors from Broken Arrow High School, BA Options Academy, Virtual Academy and Early College High School will take all assessments online during the school day at the BAHS campus.

This will be a Distance Learning day for the following students:

• BAHS: All sophomores and seniors
• BA Options Academy: All freshmen, sophomores and seniors

ECHS freshmen, sophomores and seniors will still have school in-person on April 13.

Students will need to charge their Chromebook to full capacity the night before and will need to bring a power cord. Tests will take approximately five hours to complete, and many Chromebooks will not last this long. Testing locations will be provided for students to plug in their Chromebooks. 

Students do not need to bring a calculator and will be able to use the online calculator. However, if a student would like to use a handheld calculator, they will need to bring an approved SAT calculator on test day.

Make-up days for the SAT are April 14 and 15.

For additional information on state testing, please contact student's school site.

How to prepare for the SAT exam:

The College Board provides students with SAT practice tools through Khan Academy, which includes personalized study plans, full-length practice tests, thousands of interactive practice questions, video lessons, test taking tips and more. The College Board provides a "Student Guide" that is available online.

Broken Arrow Public Schools is excited to safely honor its site teachers of the year and support employees of the year at its Star Awards Gala at 7 p.m. on April 13 at the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center. Although tickets aren’t available, patrons are encouraged to tune in to watch LIVE on www.arrowvision.tv or via the district’s YouTube channel.

“It will be an honor to celebrate our teachers and support staff who continually make it their mission to represent Broken Arrow Public Schools with incredible leadership and excellence every day, especially during one of the most difficult years we’ve experienced in education,” Superintendent Dr. Janet Vinson said. “The dedication these individuals have shown to our students and staff is what makes Broken Arrow Public Schools such a special place.”

During this event, 29 Site Teachers of the Year will be formally introduced, five will be named finalists and one will be honored as the District Teacher of the Year. This individual will represent the district at the State Teacher of the Year Competition this summer.

In addition, five staff members will be recognized as Support Staff of the Year finalists with one being presented with the Beyond and Above Award. These employees are nominated by teachers, administrators, colleagues and supervisors for consistently going the extra mile in support of the district’s goals and objectives.

“Each staff member recognized at the Star Gala plays an important role in educating, equipping and empowering a community of learners,” Vinson said. “Because of their passion for our students, Broken Arrow Public Schools has remained one of Oklahoma’s premier school districts, even in the midst of a global pandemic, and for that, I’m grateful.”

Because of the positive response from the first virtual job fair in February, Broken Arrow Public Schools is VIRTUALLY hosting another teacher job fair on Monday, April 26, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. through Airmeet, a user-friendly platform for virtual events.

“While the teacher job fair looks a little different than it has in the past, we are excited to pivot and meet our potential teacher candidates virtually this year,” Broken Arrow Public Schools Senior Staffing Coordinator Lindsay Drake said. “This event is a great way to expedite the introduction process between our school sites and those interested in learning more about what it means to be part of the Broken Arrow family.”

Interested attendees will have the opportunity to visit a virtual table where each school principal will discuss job opportunities for the 2021-22 school year.

“All principals and school representatives will be available for the full duration of the event, so our candidates can come and go as they please throughout the 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. timeframe,” Drake said.

The district offers fully paid health insurance and retirement, tuition reimbursement, mentorship programs for first year teachers, a generous leave policy, professional development and stipend opportunities, and a community atmosphere.

Broken Arrow Public Schools is a student-focused, relationship-driven school district, and we understand the value in communicating with parents/guardians. To ensure prompt communications, we must review and annually update contact information for students.

The "Returning Student/Residency Verification" process allows the enrollment team to quickly and efficiently update addresses, contact information and health consent for students. The completion of these online forms is mandatory and should be completed by May 26.

The only exception to this date is if your child is enrolling in the Broken Arrow Virtual Academy for the 2021-22 school year. The deadline to submit “returning student registration” for those students who would like enroll in the Virtual Academy is April 23. Current Virtual students MUST re-enroll for the next school year.

This registration process is required in order to be re-enrolled for next school year.

On April 1, all parents with correct email addresses in our system will receive an email from noreplyregistration containing a “snapcode” and directions to begin the online registration process. If you are unable to locate your email containing returning student registration instructions, please try using the search keyword "snapcode.” If for any reason you did not receive an email, please contact your school site.
