Parent Resources
Parental involvement is a combination of commitment and active participation on the part of parent to the school and to the student. As parents you can ensure that your child receives the benefits from parental involvement by staying up to date on what is happening in the classroom.
Tulsa Public Schools is committed to helping your child develop the academic knowledge and critical thinking he or she needs to succeed in school and beyond. As a result, these involvement opportunities empower parents to take action. By connecting parents to school officials, community members, other parents, knowledge, and powerful allies, these opportunities build bridges and networks that support schools and sustain whole communities.
After-school programs
Whitman Elementary is a recipient of the 21st Century After School Grant, which gives our school the opportunity to offer a wide array of extracurricular enrichments during non-school hours. We provide snacks for participating students and then host numerous clubs such as Cooking Club, Sports Club, Debate Club, and Pom. In addition, the program helps our students meet state and local student standards in core academic subjects, such as reading and math, through creative approaches to learning. We also offer literacy training to the families of our students.
