Students recently participated in a financial literacy simulation known as RealityU. Prior to the day of the event students completed an online preference survey to generate a job and income profile for themselves at age 26. Some students chose to be married and some chose to have children. If they were married, then the couple had to make budgetary decisions together and for those who chose to have children they had to carry a crying baby with them as they conducted business. Students had to visit 12 life stations to pay bills and make decisions about what type of car to drive, whether to rent or purchase a house, and figure out how much money to spend on entertainment.  The 12 life stations were Child Care, Utilities, Phone and Fun, Housing, Clothes & Hair, Student Loans, Food, Insurance, Transportation, Emergency Fund & Investments, Unexpected Life Events, and Help. Many students ran out of money and had to visit the Help desk to either get a second job or receive advice about how to cut expenses. Students are still talking about the lessons they learned days after the event. The simulation would not have been possible without the help and support from our incredible volunteers for which we wish to express our sincerest gratitude. If you have an opportunity, please join Shidler Schools and our students in thanking these awesome partners and supporters of our school!

ANNOUNCINGTelehealth Option for Shidler Students and Staff Is Here

Shidler Schools has entered into an agreement with Pawhuska Family Medical Clinic which allows students and school employees to see a doctor and/or nurse while at school using Telehealth Technology. This technology permits doctors in Pawhuska to conduct many routine screenings and diagnoses on students without students having to miss school or wait days to get a doctor’s appointment. Telehealth patients are assured of the same rights of medical privacy during telehealth visits as would be afforded them during in-person doctors’ visits. The program is optional and parents must give permission for their children to be seen by a doctor. Obvious potential benefits are that students can be evaluated by medical professionals without having to miss school or parents miss work to take their children to a doctor. The School encourages all parents to consider signing their children up for this option. To learn more or to sign up, please access the brochure below.
