πŸŽ‰ October is National Principals Month! πŸŽ‰

Today we’re celebrating Mrs. Maribel Gutierrez, Principal at North Park Elementary! 🐯

A proud Guymon High School Class of 2007 graduate, Mrs. Gutierrez’s story is deeply rooted in courage, family, and community. Her parents, Antonio and Maria Gutierrez, came to the United States from Durango, Mexico in 1984 with hopes of building a better future. They worked tirelessly to provide opportunities for their three children β€” Luis, Lizet, and Maribel β€” and their determination continues to inspire her every day.

Now in her 13th year with Guymon Public Schools, Mrs. Gutierrez leads North Park with that same spirit of perseverance and pride.

A few fun facts about Mrs. Gutierrez:
πŸ“ Favorite snacks: AΓ§aΓ­ bowl or Vaso de Elote
🏈 Favorite teams: Yankees ⚾ | OU 🏈 | Broncos 🏈
🎨 Hobbies: Crafting and listening to music
🎬 Favorite show: All American
🎢 Music: A little bit of everything β€” from mΓΊsica norteΓ±a and classical to country, pop, and even the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme 🎡
🍧 Go-to snack spots: Munchies for açaí bowls & mini pancakes, and Paletería Brianna for a chilindrina and agua de pepino
πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦ Family: Married to Carlos Rodriguez and proud mom of Madelynn, Meilani, and Julian

When asked what advice she’d share with students, she said:

β€œNo matter where you come from or what language you speak, remember this: your story matters. Success isn't about being like everyone else β€” it's about bringing who you are to everything you do. Work hard, stay kind, and never be afraid to let your background and experiences shape your future.”

Thank you, Mrs. Gutierrez, for the heart, leadership, and example you bring to North Park and our entire Tiger family!

🚨 Understanding GPS Lockdown Levels 🚨

Guymon Public Schools has updated the language we use to communicate during lockdown situations. This helps ensure that parents, staff, and our community understand exactly what’s happening β€” and that our students are safe and supervised.

Here’s what each level means:

🟑 Level 1 – Lockdown
We are aware of a situation outside the school (e.g., police activity, stray animal). All exterior doors are locked, and classes continue normally indoors.

🟠 Level 2 – Lockdown
Due to a situation requiring limited movement inside the school (e.g., medical emergency, weather alert, or disruptive disciplinary issue), students remain in classrooms until the situation is resolved.

πŸ”΄ Level 3 – Full Lockdown
Due to an immediate safety threat inside the school, the building is in a full lockdown. Students and staff follow safety procedures, and law enforcement is on site. Updates are shared as soon as it’s safe to do so.

🟒 All Clear
The situation has been resolved, verified by school administration and/or law enforcement. Normal operations resume safely.

REMINDER: When we are in a lockdown, all doors will be locked and you will not be able to check your student in or out.

Your child’s safety is always our top priority at Guymon Public Schools.
