School safety remains a top priority
every day
OPS Community:
Each morning, our families entrust us with the education of their most precious assets, our students. That responsibility comes with the accompanied assignment of ensuring a safe and secure learning environment. We take that responsibility very seriously.
Today’s society requires each of us to remain vigilant. That means regularly monitoring our surroundings, paying attention to the well-being of one another and alerting administration and/or authorities anytime we see, notice or hear something that causes concern.
As the Superintendent of the Omaha Public Schools, safety is the number one priority for me. The leadership team continuously engages in safety and preparedness activities alongside our supportive partners in local law enforcement and emergency response. Daily, we work to ensure a proactive approach to safety and threat assessment, and to enhance our preventative measures, as well as our emergency response plans.
Here is a brief snapshot of some of the activities happening around school safety:
- School leaders are receiving additional training in safety and threat assessment best practices, crisis management and crisis communication. As part of the training, school leaders learn how to build positive, trust-oriented relationships designed to tend to the emotional well-being of our kids. They also learn to identify and escalate information about concerning behaviors early.
- Our Safety Office is providing consistent training across our district in Standard Response Protocol (more than 200 school districts across the state of Nebraska use SRP to ensure consistent response vocabulary and emergency response actions).
- Our School Resource Officers and security officers provide oversight during regularly-practiced safety drills.
- Administrators are reviewing and updating emergency/crisis management plans.
- Central office level school leaders have engaged in table-top exercises (Discussions regarding holding mock and full-scale exercises in the future are underway).
- We have invested a significant amount of resources into fire, life and security upgrades thanks to support from Omaha taxpayers.
- Administrators review and update communication protocols and monitoring systems as needed.
The national conversation around school safety continues to evoke questions and concerns for all of us. We want you to know that the safety of our students and staff remains at the very top of our priority list daily.
When our students walk through the doors each morning, we know many of them experience school as much more than “a place to learn.” School is where our kids come for fellowship. It is where they come for respite. It is where they come to prepare themselves for their futures.
Our daily commitment to our staff and students is that all of those activities take place in an environment that is safe and secure. We will continue to work diligently to do everything within our power to keep that commitment.
My ask of each of you is that, together, we continue to fulfill our individual responsibility toward supporting our students and staff, remaining vigilant and guiding our students toward making good choices.
We appreciate your continued confidence in us as well as your support of the students and staff of the Omaha Public Schools.
Cordially yours,
Cheryl J. Logan,
Ed.D.
Superintendent
Omaha Public Schools

Crestridge Magnet Elementary is the Site of a
New Certified Nature Explore Classroom
Crestridge Magnet Elementary has earned national recognition for its Certified Nature Explore Classroom from the Nature Explore Program, a division of Dimensions Educational Research Foundation. Staff, students, parents and guests dedicated the garden during open house on Sept. 24.
The Crestridge Nature Explore Classroom webpage details how and why the classroom was created.
"We believe that every child should have the opportunity to thrive.
"All children benefit from positive connections with the natural world as a regular part of their healthy growth and development. Unfortunately, today's children, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, are spending less and less time outdoors. Disconnection from nature can lead to harmful effects such as childhood obesity, an increased prevalence of attention deficit issues and the development of a fear of the natural world - all problems exacerbated in our most vulnerable children.
"Research shows that regular time in nature facilitates better social and physical development; improves fitness; inspires creative problem solving; reduces stress; creates empathy for nature and supports whole-child learning, including science, language and literacy, visual-spatial learning and mathematics.
"Our goal is to create and sustain a high-impact Nature Explore Classroom in the middle of Omaha. Crestridge Magnet serves a diverse, at-risk population including many children who receive free/reduced lunches, are English Language Learners and qualify for special education. We could not have created this beautiful space without the Nature Explore Sponsored Outdoor Classroom that was generously made possible by the Sherwood Foundation."
-Crestridge Staff

On hand for the celebration were Jerry Bexten of the Sherwood Foundation, Superintendent Dr. Cheryl Logan, OPS Board Member Matt Scanlan, Development Director John Rosenow of Dimensions Educational Research Foundation, OPS Executive Director of School Support Dr. Dwayne Chism, OPS Chief Operations Officer Dr. Antoinette Turnquist, Anne Houser of Kinghorn Gardens (the designer of the garden) and former principals Greg Emmel and Pat Schweer.

Do you remember when you started adding and subtracting, how excited you were to learn the secrets behind numbers? Are you not so into math now? This is a path many people take. When and why does math lose its power? That would be an interesting question to answer (and would involve math!), but I am writing to you today to reignite the embers of the dying math passion inside you.
If you were asked to name one subject that encompasses every subject, would you answer mathematics? The word itself is built from a Latin word for knowledge; mathematics explores the relationships between figures, forms, and quantities. What do you know of that doesn’t have figure, form, or quantity? The answer is… math is in everything!
What can math really do, and why should you be interested? Math can unlock the secrets behind population, which could lead to breakthroughs in resource management, urban planning, zoology, and conservation to name just a few things. Colorimetry is calculus; in other words, math and color can lead to breakthroughs in architecture, art, cosmetology, fashion, film, 3D imaging, virtual reality, gaming and graphic design—again, just a few things. Mathematicians will be needed to bring Michael Crichton’s
Jurassic Park
to reality. And
Hidden Figures
shows us mathematicians have been needed for space travel from before the very beginning. In fact, everything about space involves math—astronomers are mathematicians. Economics is math, and that combined with statistics can improve subjects as vast as business, retail, education, government, politics, and technology.
Keep in mind, no matter where you are on your math journey, that math gets complicated, but so can life. If you can use the steps to solve complex math problems, you can figure out the steps to solve complex life problems. Don't let anybody, not even yourself, tell you that you can't understand math or that it isn't relevant. You can solve any problem if you identify the steps. Taking time to study math is taking time to hone skills in patience, practice, problem solving, and overcoming failure—because you will make mistakes, everybody does in math and life. Math teaches you a mistake doesn’t mean you will never find the answer; it just means - try again.
