Dear Patrons of McLoud Public Schools;
Winter sports season is upon us. We have updated our indoor activity plan in an effort to keep everyone safe and healthy. Our goal is to allow our students to compete in as many contests as possible. Please help us by abiding by the guidelines listed below while you enjoy watching your favorite student athlete.
Failure to adhere to the guidelines could result in a more restrictive plan for spectators including eliminating all spectators from events. We thank you in advance for doing your part to keep others healthy.
*Masks are mandatory for all spectators while in the facility.
*Masks must cover the nose and mouth while fitting tightly.
*Each district will limit capacity sufficiently to accommodate social distancing guidelines, and unavailable seating should be marked. Site administration will attempt to accommodate family units, but social distancing will be enforced.
*Spectators that refuse to follow guidelines, will be asked to leave the venue.
*Games may be paused and resumed only when all spectators are following guidelines.
*Districts will maintain a recommended 10 feet of space between the first row of spectators and the team bench.
*Team personnel will be limited to 20; however, any district may establish further limitations based on gym configuration and capacity.
*Cheerleaders will be limited to no more than 6 members.
*Water jugs will not be provided by the host school. Players should supply personal water bottles and towels.
*Spectators should not congregate in common areas. At the conclusion of the contest, spectators will exit the facility promptly.
*Temperature will be checked at the gate.
*No spectators allowed at practices or scrimmages.
As always, thank you for your continued support.
Steve Stanley
Superintendent of Schools
Dear PK-3rd Grade Parents and Guardians;
We are asking for your help!
We are seeing a rise in Covid-19 cases in our state, county, and local McLoud area. At this time McLoud Public Schools has just over 10% of our staff absent due to positive testing or quarantine. Numerous students throughout the district are quarantining due to Covid exposure. As always, our top priority is student and staff health and safety. We are diligently working to keep all facilities clean and sanitized. We encourage frequent hand washing and require masks for all students grades 4-12.
As a result of the spike in COVID cases in our local area, we are strongly recommending that students in grades PK-3rd wear masks at school. Further exposure or quarantine could lead to a school closure resulting in all students continuing their education via distance learning. Our goal is to keep the District operating traditionally with in-person services. We have considered a mask mandate, but feel that our families will help us by allowing their PK-3rd grade children to wear masks at school. Wearing masks may also help in the prevention of other childhood illnesses, such as the Flu and Strep Throat. We hope this extra measure of precaution helps us limit exposures to COVID and other viruses.
We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. We will have a limited number of masks available in the office for students who need them, just contact your child’s school. We are asking all families to help us “MASK UP” beginning on Thursday, November 12, 2020.
Sincerely,
McLoud Public Schools

Dear Parents/Guardians, we were notified this morning that a student at McLoud Elementary has tested positive for COVID-19. The district has worked in cooperation with local health officials to determine quarantine requirements. Students required to quarantine for 14 days are being contacted by district administrators. We continue to make great efforts to clean and sanitize all areas throughout the district. This includes regular fogging of buildings and facilities with an antimicrobial as well as routine disinfecting of commonly used areas. McLoud Public Schools continues 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. We greatly appreciate your continued support. Cases in our area are rising. Please keep your child at home if they are experiencing COVID related symptoms such as but not limited to: Loss of smell or taste, Sore throat, Persistent cough, Fever, Shortness of breath, Diarrhea, or Vomiting. We are monitoring COVID cases throughout the district/community on a daily basis and will notify everyone immediately in the event we move to district-wide Distance Learning. If you have any questions, please contact me or any of the principals at your convenience: Superintendent Steve Stanley sstanley@mcloudschools.us Exec. Director of Administrators, Rhonda Hockenbury rhockenbury@mcloudschools.us Sincerely, Steve Stanley
