Superintendent Chancellor is spending the day in first grade as she substitutes for Ms. Callender at Ranch Heights Elementary. Callender won a "Super Sub" day at the Back to School Rally in August.
We appreciate Ms. Callender for the work she does each day and for welcoming a special guest teacher to her class.
Congratulations to Angela Gerber, librarian at Wayside Elementary, on being named the Rosen Publishing Oklahoma School Librarian of the Month for September 2026!
Angela was recognized for her school book club, which pairs students' love of reading with community service — including volunteer work at a local animal shelter — and creates opportunities for families to read and learn together.
Way to go, Mrs. Gerber!

Preliminary results show that Bartlesville voters have endorsed the 2026 Bond election. The $40.5 million no tax rate increase bond will positively impact all Bruins and their future for years to come. Projects within the 2026 Bond will help the district expand learning opportunities, improve campuses, enhance security, and continue to make it possible for all students to graduate college, career, and life ready with a clear plan for the future.
"Thank you to everyone who participated in today's election and to our community for continuing to place your trust in BPS and invest in the future for our students,” said Superintendent Chancellor. “The passage of this bond is about much more than buildings and improvements. It is a commitment to our students. It says that our community believes our students deserve the very best opportunities to learn, grow and prepare for their futures. I am incredibly proud to be part of this community, and I am excited about what we can accomplish together. Thank you for believing in our kids."

Thanks to former Superintendent McCauley for his vision, with the support of an incredible board and team of administrators and teachers, the BPS Ag program has seen incredible success and growth since it began in 2019. With an enrollment of nearly 400 students, it is the largest FFA chapter in Oklahoma and a three-time National 3-Star Chapter.
This afternoon, we officially dedicated the Chuck McCauley Arena in recognition of his lasting contributions to BPS and the future generations of Bruins pursuing agriculture.
