Due to the overwhelming amount of students off campus being quarantined, we will start distance learning Thursday, November 12th. Teachers are preparing students today for materials/chrome books they will need during our time off campus. Teachers and staff will be here from 8:00-3:30 M-F through November 20th to answer any questions about distance learning. Breakfast and lunch will still be provided if needed. We will send more information about our meal program at the end of the day. As of right now we plan to resume in person learning on November 30th. If for some reason during the Thanksgiving break the number of positive cases has not declined, we may extend the distance learning time frame. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call our office 405-756-3131. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this ever changing situation. Sincerely, Dan Chapman
As you know, the Covid 19 cases in our community have been on the rise the last few weeks. We understand the concerns from our patrons and during this unpredictable time in our community, we feel it is in the best interest of our high school and middle school students to begin wearing masks starting Thursday November 12th. We want our school to continue to be able to offer onsite learning and extra-curricular activities; we feel masks will help us achieve this goal. We know you want this pandemic to end – we do as well. It’s going to take all of us doing our part to stop the virus. It might seem like a little action that doesn’t make much of a difference. But little actions build up – and they become big changes that have big impacts. Thank you for your understanding during this ever changing situation. Sincerely, Dan Chapman
We recently became aware of six high school students, one 7th grade and one 8th grade student testing positive for Covid 19. We realize we have had several students in the past few days test positive. As of today we have 20 students out that have tested positive for Covid 19. Most of our students are out due to quarantine. Keep in mind we have several students returning daily after their quarantine is finished. Lindsay Public Schools is working closely with public health officials to address the situation and while we must protect the privacy of the person involved, we are committed to communicating transparently with our staff, families and community so that you can make well-informed decisions. This situation continues to be fluid and we will provide additional updates as more information becomes available. Thank you for your understanding in this unpredictable situation.
