Dear Parents/Guardians,
This afternoon, we were notified that a student at McLoud High School has a confirmed case of COVID-19. The student will be required to complete the self-quarantine prior to returning to school. McLoud High School will be closed tomorrow, Thursday, August 20. We will thoroughly clean and sanitize all classrooms, bathrooms, and facilities during closure. All students will be served via Distance Learning. Regular classes will resume on Monday, August 24th.
McLoud Public Schools wants to do our part to keep open lines of communication with the parents and community as we move through this together. We will do our best to inform you of new cases as they are confirmed.
Please keep your child at home if they are experiencing COVID related symptoms such as but not limited to:
Running a Fever
Sore throat
Persistent cough
Loss of smell or taste
Shortness of breath
We are monitoring COVID cases throughout the district/community on a daily basis and will notify everyone immediately if we plan to move to district-wide Distance Learning.
If you have any questions, please contact myself or any of the principals at your convenience:
Superintendent Steve Stanley sstanley@mcloudschools.us
Exec. Director of Admin. Rhonda Hockenbury rhockenbury@mcloudschools.us

Tomorrow, we will have a Q and A for parents at the JH Cafeteria at 4:15 for any distance learning families. Please limit guests of one adult to one student. Masks must be worn and temperatures will be taken.
Great first game for MJH Softball!
Parents/Guardians, if your student is taking part in our distance learning program and you would like to pick up breakfast and/or lunch please email the Child Nutrition Director, Wendy White- wwhite@mcloudschools.us to make arrangements.
McLoud High School football kicked off the season last night with the annual Red/White scrimmage! Lots of promise on the field last night! Can’t wait for the season to start!
Good evening high school parents and students! Just a quick note to say if you have not completed your online enrollment, please do so this weekend! This will help us tremendously on Monday if we have this completed. Thank you!
The secondary cafeteria will open each morning at 7:30 AM for breakfast. Teachers are not on duty until that time. Buses will drop off at the JH at that time as well. Please do not drop off students any earlier. After breakfast, students are to report straight to their first our classrooms. Athletics will report to the cafeteria on Monday for a meeting with coaches.
