McLoud Public Schools would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to McLoud First United Methodist Church. They presented Mr. Stanley and Mrs. Hockenbury with 500 washable cloth masks this morning.
Parents/Guardians- There will be two academic options for the start of the 20-21 school year. Option 1 is traditional face-to-face instruction. Option 2 is our virtual option. Here is some information regarding both. If you have any questions regarding virtual school or would like to see what it might look like for your student, please call the administrator at your student's site. Administrators and counselors will be happy to speak with you regarding any questions or concerns that you have moving forward.
OPTION 1: Face-to-face instruction is expected to serve approximately 80% of our students according to current enrollment numbers. This is our traditional school day with all classes being taught on school sites.
OPTION 2: A virtual option will be available.

PreK - 1st grade will be given weekly packets. Caregivers will be responsible for day-to-day instruction using the materials in the packet. Parents/guardians will be responsible for drop-off and pick-up of packets.
2nd- 12th grades will have the option of weekly packets or virtual learning from our certified staff via a Google Classroom platform.
The Google classroom platform will vary from class to class as it will reflect the teacher’s personality and individual teaching style. Instruction may be delivered in a number of ways A) live by the classroom teacher, B) recorded videos of the teacher, C) videos from other sources, D) videos that are part of the classroom textbook E) other methods selected by the teacher. Academic activities will be assigned. Activities may include but are not limited to A) practice problems, B) comprehension questions, C) MAPS skills, D) games, E) Exact Path skills (State Department Curriculum), F) Zoom or virtual meetings, G) group activities, H) Reading Eggs, I) Math Seeds, J) Moby Max,
K) Newsela, L) Khan Academy, M) other activities assigned by the teacher. Activities will be completed and turned in via Google Classroom. Teachers will be available via email during school hours and will provide virtual assistance when possible. It is highly recommended that parents/guardians monitor student progress on a regular basis.
This will look much different than it did last spring! This will be OUR curriculum delivered to students by our certified staff. Regular grades will be taken as well as attendance.
Summer Pride / TAC update Wednesday 7/29
ATTENTION: since radar is the only thing we have to go by, we will split guys and girls. Girls workout 8:00-9:00. Guys go 9:00-10:00. We will try to stay outside as long as possible. We’re assuming an hour ahead of time that the radar will stay the same and it will rain pretty good once it gets here.
We will have TAC rain or not tomorrow. If it is raining, girls will workout first from 8:00-9:00. Girls will report to the JH locker room on the west side of the field house to check in and take temperature. Then report to the weight room. Guys will workout from 9:00-10:00. Guys will report to JH locker room also to check in and take temperatures. We will post in the morning if we split the times so that guys know whether to show up at 8:00 or 9:00.
Make sure you have your masks and a pair of tennis shoes.

2020-2021 McLoud Public Schools Calendar
Summer pride workouts are cancelled for today, Monday July 13.
Parents/Guardians, if you are having trouble enrolling your student(s) it may be because you are using the student account. You must have a guardian account to complete enrollment. Please email the building contact person and they can get one set up for you. Please be patient, as this is a new system and we are doing our very best to make this process as painless as possible. It may take a few days for our staff to get back with everyone. This delay will in no way impact your student. Thank you.

Parents and Athletes:
If it is raining tomorrow morning, we will cancel workouts. It will eliminate us being outside, which means we do not have enough inside space to accommodate everyone while adhering to our safety protocols. Coach Hall will post a for sure Closed/Open at least 40 minutes prior to workouts beginning.

Oh how I love these student athletes and their coaches! I would like to give a great big shout out to the McLoud Football Program. Thank you so much for helping move the "big stuff" into our new building. We couldn't have done it without you.

Dear McLoud Family,
It is hard to believe that another school year has come to an end. A strange end indeed, but an end all the same. We experienced many new adventures this spring. I am certain we will be strengthened by this journey and that it will help us to appreciate the little things.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the students, staff, and community for their support for the last three years. It truly has been a pleasure to serve as the high school principal. I built lasting relationships with many wonderful people. Furthermore, I got to learn and grow along with each of you. For these and a million other reasons, I am truly grateful.
I have accepted a new position in the district and am currently making that transition. I will be the Executive Director of Administrators/Curriculum and Instruction. I am excited at the new challenge and hope to continue to serve the McLoud district to the very best of my abilities.
In closing, I wish you all a very happy, safe, and enjoyable summer. Go Redskins!
Sincerely,
Rhonda Hockenbury
