School Directory

Parking Lot Etiquette

ATTENTION PARENTS AND STUDENT DRIVERS: Please enter the SAA parking lot from 30th Street. Do not stop to drop off a student in the driveway, but continue around the building to the rear parking lot to drop off your student in the mornings. Stopping in the driveway causes traffic to back up behind you on 30th St. Please exit the parking lot onto Sheridan Ave. by the Sherwin Williams building. After school, students should be picked up in back of the building. If your student is not outside when you arrive, please park in a parking space to wait for them. Please do not park in the "pick up" lane while waiting for your students. Please call the school office if you have any questions concerning this "drop off" and "pick up" procedure.

Explore Test

On Wednesday, November 8 all 8th graders and any 9th graders new to SAA will be taking the EXPLORE test. This test is one of the acceptable reading tests for an Oklahoma driver's license. Don't be late, it will begin at 8:00 a.m.

Football Tickets

Attorney Lee Levinson has given us over 35 tickets to the Tulsa Golden Hurriane football game against UTEP this Friday evening at Skelly Stadium. If you would be available for this game and able to use some tickets, please see Becki in the school office. First come, first served.

Grandparent's Day

Our annual Grandparents Day program will be held on Wednesday, November 22. There will be refreshments, a special program, and visits to the classrooms. Plan now to invite grandparents and special "grandfriends" to attend. Parents, aunts, and uncles are also welcome! School will be dismissed at noon that day (following the program) for our Thanksgiving break.

Volunteer Opportunity

Our Grammar School teachers are seeking volunteers who would be willing to come in once a month at lunch and recess time to watch their classes for that hour. This would give our teachers an opportunity to have lunch together and fellowship in a quieter atmosphere. If you are available from 11:25 - 12:30 and would be willing to do this once a month, please contact the school office or any Grammar school teacher.
