I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we have several more students and staff positive today. We have had to quarantine 2 elementary classes and we have nearly half of our entire student body either quarantined or positive at this time. After today, We will be virtual for the remainder of the week. Students will bring devices home on the bus or will have them upon parent pick-up today. We will reevaluate on Friday as to whether we will be virtual next week as well. If your child has any symptoms, please consider testing them. We believe this is spreading as students feel bad one day and stay home only to return the next day. Please help us ensure the safety of your children and all the other children and staff. If your child has a positive test, or is exposed to someone who is positive, please contact the school. Thank you for you help prayers!
Tupelo 5-6 and 7-8 girls have positive COVID cases so our games today are canceled.

OSSAA BASKETBALL GUIDELINES FOR PLAYOFFS....
https://5il.co/p23f
Sorry for some misinformation. KTC guidelines require their students to go virtual if the home school goes virtual. They just contacted us and said their students will need to do their work online and will be counted absent if they do not log in.
Any students who are virtual the next two days and attend Career Tech may still ride the bus to school in the mornings but will need someone to pick them up at school by noon those 2 days, or they may drive to Career Tech on their own.
Due to the number of staff and students having positive COVID tests, our grades 7-12 will be virtual this Thursday (tomorrow) and Friday. These students share classrooms and teachers so that is why those classes have been targeted. Our Elem classes share the cafeteria, but it is sanitized prior to each group using it so we feel they are safe to be in school. If you have students in both PK-6 and 7-12, please let us know if you are keeping the younger ones home. We will also need you to contact us if you want meals as we will deliver meals on the evening bus route and will need someone to meet us to pick up the food. Please call by 9am tomorrow if you want meals delivered. If any student who will be virtual was absent today and needs a device for distant learning, please call and we will get it ready to be picked up. Sorry for any inconvenience.

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.
