Following the unexpected passing of Coach Frank Captain, Chelsea Public Schools will transition to virtual instruction on Thursday, May 21, and Friday, May 22.

This decision was made to provide students, staff, families, and community members the opportunity to attend services, pay their respects, and honor Coach Captain’s extraordinary impact on Chelsea Public Schools and the Green Dragon community.

The school especially wants their faculty and staff — many of whom worked alongside Coach Captain and Mrs. Captain for decades — to have the opportunity to support one another and the Captain family during this difficult time without the responsibilities of a traditional school day.

Virtual learning guidance and expectations will be communicated by site administrators and teachers.

Funeral services for Coach Captain will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, May 21, 2026, at the Dale Wilson Memorial Gymnasium on the campus of Chelsea Public Schools.

The school offers their thanks for your understanding, grace, and continued prayers for the Captain family and our school community.

It's fixed! Pump is working again and the water is drained. We are sorry to those travelers who missed out on the underpass experience. We hope you will be able to return another day to enjoy our treasure.

Thank you to our CEDA guys for jumping on this so quickly and getting it fixed!

We're ready for the big egg hunt tomorrow! Yep! We're still having it. The only way we will not have it is if it is pouring rain and/or lightening tomorrow. So put your kiddos in clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting dirty and let's have some fun. These kiddos might love "Egg Hunt Mudfest 2026!" Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Please help us get the word out! We have a ton of candy and goodies for the kids.

MESSAGE FROM
CHELSEA POLICE DEPT
‼️SCAM‼️

We just wanted to inform you all of several reported scam texts being sent out. We have been contacted several times the last 24 hours regarding these texts from different entities.

Several are claiming to be from the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority, Service Oklahoma and even the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.

These texts claim there are unpaid tolls, parking tickets or speeding violations, and if unpaid your license could be suspended.

We cannot stress this enough, none of these entities, or any law enforcement agency, will ever text you regarding unpaid fines, nor send you a link to obtain credit card information to pay them. Do not respond to these texts or click the links. Simply report them as spam if your phone allows and block the contact.

If anyone has fallen victim to these scams and given any information out, please contact us or your local law enforcement agency to file a report.
