Attention 5th and 6th grade parents! Starbase starts tomorrow for our fifth and six graders. They need to have permission slips brought back to be able to participate. These were sent home last Monday. This is a wonderful opportunity that we don’t want them to miss out on. If you have any questions about Starbase please contact your child’s science teacher.

Game Day Saturday: Along with Pink Out, we are going to celebrate Halloween for the kids at our HS game against Bridge Creek. Kids who show up in costume to the game get in free. We will have a costume contest at halftime. Any kid dressed up who wants to enter may do so. The winner will be based on crowd applause. We will also have candy to give out to those who dress up. Come join us Saturday at 1:00 p.m. as we take on Bridge Creek at home.
Dear Parents/Guardians, we were recently notified that a staff member at McLoud Public Schools has tested positive for COVID-19. Contact with students was limited. The district has worked in cooperation with local health officials to determine quarantine requirements. Personal contacts are being made by our administrative team to those individuals required to self-quarantine.
Our staff continues 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. 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
McLoud Public Schools will be closed to in-person instruction for the remainder of the week due to inclement weather.

All school sites will be closed. Teachers will be available via email or Google Classroom to answer questions. Thank you.
The ECC pumpkin patch activities scheduled for Veterans Park on Thursday, October 29th have been moved indoors to the Elementary Gym and Elementary Saferoom. The District has taken the changing weather into consideration, we feel that our community partners and students will enjoy the Candy Walk and Pumpkin Patch if they are held inside. The Candy Walk will be set up in the newly remodeled Elementary Gym. Our community partners will pass out candy and enjoy the costume parade in the Gym. Our Pumpkin Patch activities will be held in the safe room.
We feel this will still accommodate the appropriate amount of social distancing for both our Community Partners who are passing out candy and for our students and staff. Any community partner who has not submitted their Candy Walk participation form, can still do so through the McLoud Chamber to the Office Manager officemanager@mcloudchamber.com or ECC Principal Sally Thomason sthomason@mcloudschools.us by Tuesday, October 27th.

Thank you for being involved in your students education!

Good morning MHS students and parents! As we start our second week of distance learning I want to commend those of you who have jumped in and are completing your work! Well done! Often times it is easy to focus on the negative when there is a lot of positive! With that being said, we also had a lot of students disappear last week. Please remember, your attendance is recorded by you completing 50% of the work assigned for the week! Distance learning is not easy and students must be disciplined. I encourage you to set aside time each day to do your school work just as if you were at school. It doesn't have to be for seven hours, but it does need to happen to be successful! I feel that many students put it off thinking they will do it later, and then it piles up and becomes overwhelming! Parents, please encourage your student to log-in! Have a great week, stay safe, and we look forward to seeing you on the 2nd!
This week at the Intermediate.
This is a busy week with lots of excitement as we kick off Red Ribbon Week.
The Intermediate is decorated and ready to kick off Red Ribbon Week on Monday. Students, teachers, and staff enjoyed decorating their doors.
The Intermediate is very excited to share with you our Red Ribbon Week Activities.
Distance Learners you may log into Mrs. Murdocks google classroom for videos and activities.
We can't wait! We are ready to work together to make healthy choices and be drug free!
Today will be the final scheduled Virtual Friday. The school board approved to cancel the Virtual Friday scheduled for November 6th. McLoud meets state guidelines without going on that day.
Good morning and happy Friday MHS students and parents! Please remember that today is a virtual Friday and you will have assignments to complete in all your classes to be counted present for the day. Also, it was board approved yesterday that today will be the last virtual Friday for the year! I want to encourage you again to turn your assignments in! These assignments are how you get credit for being in attendance for the day/week! Reminder: If you are a Gordon Cooper student and you are not quarantined, you should be going to class at Gordon Cooper. The bus to Gordon Cooper is running as normal. Have a great weekend!
