Broken Arrow Public Schools is once again teaming up with the Caring Van program to assist in obtaining immunizations to eligible students. A registered nurse will be available during the dates and times listed below to administer free immunizations to students who:

• Are eligible for SoonerCare (Oklahoma Medicaid)
• Are Native American
• Are Uninsured

Please note that if the student does not meet at least ONE of the above criteria, he or she will be referred to a private physician for required immunizations.

A parent/legal guardian must accompany the student. A current copy of your student’s immunization record and the immunization consent form (Spanish version of the consent form) is also required. After receiving the immunizations, a copy of the updated records should be brought to your student’s school site.

The following are the date, times and locations for when the Oklahoma Caring Van will be available within the district.

Wednesday, Aug. 11, 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

• Enrollment Center (201 N. Main Street, Broken Arrow)
• Sequoyah Middle School (2701 S. Elm Place, Broken Arrow)

Pre-K students need to have the following immunizations:

• 4 – DTP/DTaP
• 3 – Polio
• 1 – MMR
• 2 - Hepatitis A
• 3 – Hepatitis B
• 1 – Varicella (Chicken Pox)

Kindergarten students need to have the following immunizations:

• 5 – DTP/DTaP
• 4 – Polio
• 2 – MMR
• 2 - Hepatitis A
• 3 – Hepatitis B
• 1 – Varicella (Chicken Pox)

Seventh grade students:

Seventh grade students are required to receive one Tdap booster for immunizations against tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis. This is a booster to the DTP students received before kindergarten.

The Guide to Immunization Requirements in Oklahoma (English, Spanish) contains essential immunizations information for the state of Oklahoma.

Since the program began in 1999, thousands of children have received immunizations from registered nurses aboard the Caring Vans. Immunization information is entered in the Oklahoma State Immunization Information System (OSIIS), making vaccine history readily available.

For more information about the Caring Van, please contact Linda Aycock at laycock@baschools.org.

The following are the dates for the first day of school for Broken Arrow Public Schools students:

For grades 6-12, supply lists will be provided to students by their teachers during the first week of school. We encourage parents to wait before buying supplies, as each teacher has a specific list that students will need for their particular class.

Broken Arrow Public Schools is encouraging parents/guardians to complete the free and reduced lunch application if they feel they may qualify based on household size and income. Applications are due by Sept. 24.

Although both breakfast and lunch will be free to all students for the 2021-22 school year, the district is still encouraging completion of the application because valuable state aid funding is tied to these forms. Competed applications positively affect every district program and department, including child nutrition, instruction, technology, athletics, fine arts and more. 

The application is only available online. The district will not be accepting any paper application forms.

Students in grades 6-12 for the 2021-22 school year can now purchase their Chromebook insurance online.

The Broken Arrow Public Schools Student Technology Insurance Program has been established to give parents the opportunity to purchase insurance and provide Help Desk support for their child’s Chromebook device. This annual purchase gives parents peace of mind as the insurance package will cover Chromebook repair or replacement costs and damages to the charge cord. Lost or stolen charge cords will not be covered by the insurance (damaged charge cords must be turned in for replacement).

The insurance program is voluntary, but families are highly encouraged to participate. To purchase insurance, visit www.baschools.org/insurance.

Please keep in mind that if insurance is not purchased at the time of device acceptance, parents/guardians are responsible for the full cost of any repair or replacement of all damage to or loss of the Chromebook and charge cord. Acts of intentional damage will not be covered by the insurance.

The reentry plan for the 2021-22 school year has not been finalized. We are in the process of updating the plan based on local and state mandates, including that masks are optional for students and employees, whether indoors or outdoors on all district campuses.

The finalized 2021-22 plan will be placed on the district’s website and a link will be pushed out on all social media accounts within the coming weeks.

As of June, a requirement for funding was added to provide a place for public comments regarding the district’s reentry plan. Public comments are welcomed using this survey link.

Thank you for your patience.
