Yes, on Monday, March 23, 2020 between 8:00am – 3:30pm in the main office of each school. Offices will be open with limited access for parents to pick-up medicine in a come & go fashion.

What about graduation?

What about state testing?

We are still waiting on direction from the Oklahoma State Department of Education regarding testing for this school year.

Will we have special education services during this time?

Based on recent guidance from state and federal officials, the district will not be providing educational services to students during the operational shut-down. Once school is back in session, the IEP team may need to reconvene to develop plans based on the individual needs of students as well as from guidance from state and federal officials. In the event you have an IEP or related meeting scheduled for a date/time during the shutdown, staff members will reach out to reschedule the meeting.
