The Chickasaw Nation is taking applications for Summer EBT for all our students since we are a Provision 2 School and all our students eat free! This is the first time ALL students qualify. Below is the information I received from the Chickasaw Nation to help you enroll your child. Each parent has to enroll their child. Visit Chickasaw.net/SummerEBT or call (580) 272-1178 to apply!  

The bus for the JH boys and girls will leave at 3:20 pm to go to Calvin for the 4 pm girls game and 5 pm boys.

McAlester KTC has moved the 10th grade shadowing trip from tomorrow to Friday, January 15th due to overcrowding concerns. 10th graders will shadow their chosen programs on Friday.

Cherokee Telephone has an outage in their northern service area, which includes our school. We have no phone or internet service so if you need to contact school, you will have to call your child's teacher, or any teacher or staff if you need to relay a message to your child prior to the end of the school day. Whatever the issue please ask the teacher or staff member to relay that information to the front office. Thank you!

INFORMATION ON THE GAMES TODAY!!! There will be 180 tickets available at the door for Stuart. That is 90 for the girls team and 90 for the boys team, which averages to about 3 per player. They were not sent home yesterday due to them not being given to Varnum to give to us. Questions posed to me so far were: 1. Do they accept OSSAA passes? Yes. If you have an OSSAA pass they will work for admittance. 2. Is the mask policy and social distancing policy the same? Yes. Thank you guys for doing a great job at doing this the past few nights! 3. Can we watch both games? Yes. Tickets cover you for both games. 4. Will the games still be live streamed? Yes. We will be streaming them on the SeasonCast app and site. Should the site go down again Bill N Cyn Myskey will go to live streaming from her Facebook page or the school Facebook page. Sorry about the short notice and any inconveniences that are caused. We have been giving you guys the information as it has been presented to us from the tournament directors. Thank you so much for your patience and your ongoing support of our Lady Hornets and Hornets! 🏀❤️

Games for tonight at Varnum will be live on SeasonCast tonight. Girls begin at 6:30 and the boys will follow.. If you don’t know how to get to SeasonCast yet just go to our school website and you will see the button at the top!

We had a bus get rear ended this morning and, Praise God, nobody was injured. Students on the bus were taken on to school on another bus and their individual parents are being contacted. Again, nobody was injured.

We just received verification of a COVID positive 4th grade student. All 3rd and 4th grade students will have to quarantine as they participated in PE together. Students may return in 7 days (Thur. Jan 14) if they stay symptom free for 7 days and have a negative test on day 5 (Tues, Jan 12). Without a negative test on day 5, they will be able to return after 10 symptom free days or Monday, Jan 18. If they have any symptoms during the period, you need to have your child test. Devices are being sent home with students today.

EVERY player, coach and spectator attending the Varnum games tonight MUST have a mask! If you do not have one, they will be selling them, but you will NOT be allowed to enter without one on!
