Don't forget it's homecoming week! Tomorrow...wear OU or OSU! (We changed Friday to spirit day so we could wear Dover Strong shirts! Also...bring your pennies or spare change for penny wars. The winning class this week (1 elementary and 1 JH/HS) will get a pizza party! And all proceeds will go to help Thatcher!
Many have reached out on how to help the Vitales family. We are getting an account set up at CSB in Dover for those who would like to donate. It should be ready on Monday. You can take cash or write a check to Randy or Ismael Vitales and it will go straight to their account where they can use it to pay medical bills. If you have any questions please email Lori Burns: lburns@dover.k12.ok.us
Keep the prayers coming! They are working!
Mrs. Lori Burns will be available tomorrow, Friday if you or a family member would like to visit with her. I know this is a tough time for some of you, and she will be there as needed. If there is anything she can do to help, please email: lburns@dover.k12.ok.us
Due to inclement weather, Dover Schools will be closed tomorrow, January 10. 2025. This will be a day off, not a virtual day. See you Monday!
Here is a link to order shirts. All proceeds from the shirt order will go to support Randy's family.

As many of you have heard, we had a 10th grade student, Randy Vitalis, collapse during our boys basketball game this afternoon at the Mulhall-Orlando Basketball Tournament. Coaches from Dover and a player from the opposing team, Life Christian Academy, administered CPR for several minutes and also used a defibrillator to restore Randy's heartbeat until paramedics arrived to transport him to Children's Hospital in Oklahoma City. Randy is currently on a ventilator, but his blood pressure is stable. Randy is undergoing several tests and will be moved to ICU. Doctors did say that the quick response by our coaches and the training they received is probably what saved his life. Counselors and some area pastors were at the school when our teams returned to talk and pray with our students. We thank you for your prayers and ask our Dover Community to continue to pray for Randy, his family and the Dover students and staff.
As of now, Dover Public Schools will release at the normal time. If parents would like to pick up students or call and check out older students that drive, because of weather, they are welcome to do so.
If at all possible, we would ask for those that have a way to pick up students that ride buses to please do so at the end of the day or sooner. Doing so would help our bus drivers tremendously. If not, we understand and will get them home. We will update if anything changes.
Thank you
