IN-PERSON LEARNING UPDATE - August 31, 2020

Today, school principals shared the following information with their students and families.


As outlined in previous district communication, we provide weekly updates regarding the status of in-person instruction. Each Monday, we provide a forecast for the following week to help families plan ahead. Each Friday, after Oklahoma’s Covid-19 Alert System is updated, we confirm the following week’s instructional plan. These updates are applicable only to those students who are enrolled in the traditional/remote or blended learning options.


As a reminder, the Covid-19 Alert System was developed by the Oklahoma State Department of Health and has been adopted by the Oklahoma Department of Education. The alert system does not differentiate between Orange Level 1 and 2. However, according to the Oklahoma Department of Education, Orange Level 1 is defined as more than 14.39 but fewer than 25 cases per 100,000 people, while Orange Level 2 is defined as more than 25 but fewer than 50 cases per 100,000 people.


  • ELEMENTARY STUDENTS:

    • If a Yellow Level or Orange Level 1 status is reported Friday, Sept. 4, elementary students will continue to report to school for in-person instruction on Tuesday, Sept. 8. All schools will be closed Monday, Sept. 7, for Labor Day.

    • If an Orange Level 2 or Red Level is reported Friday, Sept. 4, elementary students will transition to remote learning the week of Sept. 8.


  • MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS:

    • If a Yellow Level or Orange Level 1 status is reported Friday, Sept. 4, middle and high school students will report to school on an alternate schedule on Tuesday, Sept. 8. All schools will be closed Monday, Sept. 7, for Labor Day.


    • If an Orange Level 2 or Red Level is reported Friday, Sept. 4, middle and high school students will continue remote learning the week of Sept. 8.


We will confirm next week’s instructional plan this Friday after the Covid-19 Alert System is updated.
