🚧 Important Traffic Update for Will Rogers Families 🚧

This Friday, Sept. 12th, and next Friday, Sept. 19th, work will be done on our car and bus lanes. To keep everyone safe, we’ll be rerouting drop-off and pick-up, which will cause traffic delays. Please bring extra patience and kindness during this time. 💙🐺

Here’s what you need to know:
🚗 Car Riders → Enter the main loop by the office (off MacArthur). Cars may only turn right when leaving the loop. Applies to both drop-off and pick-up.
🚌 Bus Riders → Use the west drive of the building. Police officers will help with traffic at MacArthur & Union.
🚶 Walkers → May still cross from the bank, but will walk along MacArthur and enter through the front doors.
🏫 Daycare → Drop-off and pick-up will be in the teacher’s parking lot by the playground.

This change only impacts Fridays in September while paving is being completed. Once finished, our lanes will be smoother and safer for everyone.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping us make this big change run as smoothly as possible! 💙🐺

It's Election Day!
It's Election Day for voters in twenty-seven (27) counties. The polls are open today (9/9) from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Some voters have school or municipal propositions on the ballot. Other voters have candidate elections. Voters in McClain, Pontotoc, and Seminole counties all have county questions on the ballot.

Voters can find their polling place and confirm their eligibility to vote in the election with the OK Voter Portal. (Voters who have a sample ballot available in the OK Voter Portal have an election.) The election list is available on the State Election Board website.

As a reminder, proof of identity is required when you check in at your polling place. More information about proof of identity and a list of accepted identification is available on the State Election Board website. Those without a valid ID may request to vote a provisional ballot.

Some voters may need assistance to vote because they are blind or visually disabled, physically disabled or infirmed, or illiterate. Such individuals may request to have an assistant or vote privately and independently using the ATI device attached to the voting device. Those who require assistance should talk to their precinct official or contact their County Election Board directly for instructions.

Voters with questions should contact their County Election Board or the State Election Board at (405) 521-2391 or [email protected].
