Dear Parents,
Due to a positive case among our staff that creates the inability for our school to provide the day to day essential services and an increase in COVID cases in our community, we will transition to distance learning effective Monday, October 12th. At this time, school is scheduled to resume in person Monday, October 26th. We understand the importance of meals for our students and will provide limited menu meal opportunities for all students each day except our scheduled Fall Break days (October 15th, 16th, and 19th). We ask that if you want meals for your child that you contact the school office by 9:00 a.m each day. Meals can be picked up at the school from 11:00 a.m to 12:30 p.m. If transportation is an issue, we can deliver upon request. This shutdown is going to differ from the one we experienced this past spring. All students will be transitioned over to our distance learning platform. (Google Classroom and in some cases paper assignments) Teachers will be on site everyday, and students may pick up their chromebooks and devices anytime Monday, October 12th, and Tuesday, October 13th. Student medications that are held in the school nurse’s office can be picked up at each site by the parent or guardian if needed during this mandatory shutdown. Parent teacher conferences are scheduled for Tuesday, October 13th; however, we will change the times to 9:00 a.m to 3:30 p.m. Parents who attend will be required to wear a mask and subject to a temperature check. If you do not want to attend conferences in person we encourage you to call the school office and request the teacher to call you (918-464-2583). Students who do not have connectivity will be allowed to come to the school from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. daily to use the school’s internet services. Face masks and temperature checks will be mandatory. All student activities will continue as scheduled as of now; coaches and sponsors will make contact with their players and participants to schedule practice and departure times. The safety and well-being of students and employees is our top priority. We continue to monitor the evolving health crisis caused by Coronavirus. We are adhering to guidance from the Oklahoma State Department of Health, State Department of Education, the CDC, and Emergency Management in all decisions made. Thank you for your understanding and partnership with us as we take the necessary steps to protect our school community. Again, the situation is being closely monitored and we will keep you apprised of any changes.
Sincerely,
Chris Whelan, Superintendent
