About Hugh Bish Elementary

Hugh Bish Elementary School is a Kindergarten through 5th grade public school and part of the Lawton Public School system located in southwest Oklahoma. We are fortunate to also have the U. S. Army post of Fort Sill as part of our community.

Our school mascot is the Knight. 
Our school colors are orange and green.

Hugh Bish is a Blue Ribbon school.

Today, the Blue Ribbon Schools Program serves three purposes. First, it identifies and recognizes outstanding public and private schools across the nation. Second, the Program makes research-based effectiveness criteria available to all schools so that they can assess themselves and plan improvements. Third, the Program encourages schools, both within and among themselves, to share information about best practices based on a common understanding of criteria related to educational success.

Blue Ribbon Schools are models of both excellence and equity. To be recognized, a school must demonstrate a strong commitment to educational excellence for all students. The Program welcomes applications from schools that have demonstrated sustained success in achieving these values, as well as schools that have overcome obstacles and can provide evidence of significant improvements.

 

Other General School Information

School instructional hours are 9:00 a.m. to 3:45 p.m.

Breakfast is served each school day from 8:45 a.m. to 9:05 a.m.

Lunch schedules are by grade level and if you desire to eat with your child/grandchild, etc. please call the school the day before so we may make sure your lunch is included in our meal preparation count.

We welcome appropriate visitors to our outstanding school. Again, for everyone’s safety, please check in at the office before proceeding down any hallway.

Because the safety of our children is of the utmost importance to us all, children should not arrive at the school building before 8:45 a.m. and they should be picked up promptly at 3:45 p.m. All late arrivals, arriving after 9:15 a.m., MUST secure a late slip from the office before being admitted to the classroom. If your child is going to be late or absent, please call the office before 9:30 a.m. on that day. Children picked up before 3:45 p.m. must be checked our through the office. Please remember, a picture ID is required.

We do offer an extended day program for those needing this service. Students NOT picked up by 4:00 p.m. will be placed in extended day at a cost to the parent of $3.50. Extended day services are offered every school day, Monday through Friday. If we have Saturday school due to bad weather, we will NOT have extended day services on Saturday school days. Morning hours are from 7:30 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. Afternoon hours are from 3:45 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

We use student planners at Hugh Bish. These planners are used to help student to learn organization skills, track their own school work, keep a list of spelling words, upcoming test and other events, as a reference of the day’s work accomplishments, and as a daily communication tool between home and school. The planners we use are available ONLY at our school for a small cost of $5.00 each. See the office staff if your child needs one.

Mrs. Schmahl sells healthy snacks and water daily in the gym.

Popcorn and Pickles.  Our PTA sells popcorn ($.25/twenty-five cents) and pickles ($.50/fifty cents) on most Fridays. We hope you will choose to become a member of our PTA ($4.00) and work with them in becoming a classroom volunteer.

The Hugh Bish Banner is our school newsletter is normally sent home weekly on Mondays. Please read it carefully to stay apprised of special events, awards, and helpful information. Also, watch this web site often for updated information.

Rise and Shine Awards Assembly is held every Wednesday morning at 8:30 a.m. Parents are welcome to attend.
Our sports program is overseen by the Booster Club.

Knight Time - Every morning we start our day with Knight Time, a daily assembly where students and faculty are gathered to start each day with a positive attitude and excitement about learning and being at Hugh Bish.  Some items we use daily are shown below.


The Pledge of Allegiance to the American Flag:
I Pledge allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America
and to the Republic for which it stands,
One nation under God, indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all.

 

The Oklahoma Flag Pledge:
I salute the flag of the State of Oklahoma,
Its symbols of peace unite all people.

 

Hugh Bish School Creed:
Today I will do more than I have to do.
I will treat others as I want to be treated
and I will try to become a better person.

  1. We will value one another as unique and special individuals.
  2. We will not laugh at or make fun of a person’s mistake nor use sarcasm or putdowns.
  3. We will use good manners saying please, thank you, and excuse me, and allow others to go first.
  4. We will cheer others to success.
  5. We will help one another whenever possible.
  6. We will recognize every effort and applaud it.
  7. We will encourage each other to do our best.
  8. We will practice virtuous living using the Life Principles.

 

Word of the Week:
Watch here for a link to a page with our Word of the Week for the whole year.  We have a word each week, a definition, and a quote to help students achieve their best through positive living.

 

Hugh Bish School Song:
We are the knights of Robin Hood’s land.
Gallant, brave, and strong we stand.
Nowhere in all the world around, can a finer school be found.
Orange and green our colors bright.
With brotherhood our hearts unite.
So let’s work together; it’s our best rule.
Cheering loud and long for Hugh Bish School.
