Finding Some Rhythm
I hope your children were able to make some memories and get some rest during the long weekend. In my house, we did a lot of lying around, for sure! But, it was much needed!
I feel we are starting to find some rhythm at Longfellow, as students and teachers get to know each other and as we settle into some routines. Of course, we will continue to evaluate and evolve to make this the safest and most effective learning environment possible.

2. COVID-19 Update
WHAT TO KNOW:
Norman Public Schools will continue to follow the law.
NPS is experiencing a rate of COVID-19 growth we did not see last year.
To help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in our schools, and to allow us to continue in-person learning, masks are expected for anyone in our buildings.
School visitors are required to wear masks inside our buildings
In keeping with new guidance from the OSDH and Cleveland County Health Department, any individual who is deemed to have been in close contact with a known positive case of COVID-19 will need to quarantine as a precaution and to help protect the health and safety of others.
We will continue to offer masks at Longfellow for those who need them. No student will face any negative action for not wearing a mask, but we hope that every student who can wear one does wear one.
