Edmond, Deer Creek & Piedmont Ideal Students Go Back to School!

After 2020, most of us are glad to see that it’s time to go back to school -- time to start watching the sales for school supplies, getting school clothes or uniforms ready, and checking those bedtimes. For your convenience, we’ve gathered a few facts about the schools in our Ideal Homes & Neighborhoods communities including start times, enrollment, and back to school events.

Covid-19 protocols: Schools will be opening up to a full schedule for the upcoming fall semester. As of right now, masks are recommended for all students and staff but not required. That situation may change if infection rates climb, depending on CDC guidelines. Schools will maintain all safety protocols, including contact tracing, social distancing to the extent possible, and enhanced sanitization and cleaning.
