Attention parents of seniors and sophomores! Jostens will be hosting "Jostens Week" for different Oklahoma high schools over the next few weeks. Our week here at McLoud will begin on Monday, September 14th! On Monday the 14th at 2:00 PM, two different links will be posted. The first link will be a message to sophomores for class rings and the second link will be for senior graduation announcements and caps and gowns. This timing will coordinate with the direct mailing of the student information packet which is being sent to each students home this year.

CURRENT UPDATE TO QUARANTINE GUIDELINES FOR MCLOUD PUBLIC SCHOOLS QUARANTINE GUIDELINES: The CDC currently recommends a 14 day quarantine for anyone exposed to the COVID-19 virus. A verified positive case will require a 10 day quarantine, fever free for 24 hours, and improved symptoms. McLoud Public Schools will observe these recommendations. Should an individual test positive for the virus, the area(s) where the infected individual spent time will be sanitized per CDC guidelines. The classroom/area will be closed for proper sanitation prior to reopening. Contact tracing will be followed and will include notifying individuals who were within 6 feet of the infected individual for 15 minutes or longer. School Reach calls will go out to students who were in the same area but not within 6 feet. Depending on the magnitude of an exposure, the district will determine what course of action will be taken. These actions will be communicated to families in a timely manner. Please check our web page and social media for up to date information.

August 21, 2020 McLoud Families, As you may have seen in local news reports, coronavirus cases in Pottawatomie County have increased significantly in the past week. A correctional facility within the county has reported over 100 positive cases with more test results pending. The test results from the correctional facility have led to the significant increase in the county numbers that you see reported daily on news stations and other media. In light of the information above, McLoud Public Schools, in collaboration with local health officials, does not feel that any changes to our school schedule or school protocols are necessary at this time. We will continue to monitor the situation, we will continue to collaborate with state and local officials, and we will continue to prioritize the health and safety of our students, staff, and families. Respectfully, Steve Stanley, Superintendent
