Dear Parents/Guardians,
This afternoon, we were notified that a student at McLoud High School has a confirmed case of COVID-19. The student will be required to complete the self-quarantine prior to returning to school. Mr. Jennings and Mrs. Eddings have completed contact tracing. If you received a direct phone call from Mr. Jennings, your student will need to meet the quarantine guidelines discussed with Mr. Jennings. If you receive an automated call from our system, then your student was in a classroom or area with the student, but there was no direct contact.
McLoud Public Schools wants to do our part 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.
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
Running a fever
Shortness of breath
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 Admin. Rhonda Hockenbury rhockenbury@mcloudschools.us
High School Principal Bryan Jennings bjennings@mcloudschools.us

McLoud Families,
As you may have seen in local news reports, coronavirus cases in Pottawatomie County have increased significantly in the past week. A correctional facility within the county has reported over 100 positive cases with more test results pending. The test results from the correctional facility have led to the significant increase in the county numbers that you see reported daily on news stations and other media. In light of the information above, McLoud Public Schools, in collaboration with local health officials, does not feel that any changes to our school schedule or school protocols are necessary at this time. We will continue to monitor the situation, we will continue to collaborate with state and local officials, and we will continue to prioritize the health and safety of our students, staff, and families.
Respectfully, Steve Stanley, Superintendent

McLoud Family,
There has been a confirmed case of COVID at the Intermediate. Contact tracing is being done at this time and families will be notified soon. The incident was contained as students were not rotating classes. We will follow district protocol with quarantine and sanitation.
Due to the concern over the health and safety of both teams involved in the football scrimmage scheduled for 8/20/2020 versus Chandler, the scrimmage will not be played this week. Sorry for the inconvenience.
McLoud Family,
The high school administration worked diligently all evening and have sent out an all call to each family who had a student at the high school who was in a class with the student who tested positive today for COVID. If you DID NOT receive a call your student was not in a class with that student.
This does not mean your student was or was not directly exposed, however, they were in the same classroom. We want to do our very best to communicate with you while keeping everyone safe and healthy.
Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this process.
Distance Learning Parents,
This is a reminder of our in person orientation tomorrow evening at 6pm. Upon arrival we will do temperature checks and send you to your child’s grade level meeting area. We will have a presentation then Q& A. If you need to check out a device please come in at 5:30 or email Mrs. Murdock to schedule an appointment. Please make sure to bring your proof of internet for device checkout.

McLoud High School football kicked off the season last night with the annual Red/White scrimmage! Lots of promise on the field last night! Can’t wait for the season to start!
Good evening high school parents and students! Just a quick note to say if you have not completed your online enrollment, please do so this weekend! This will help us tremendously on Monday if we have this completed. Thank you!
The secondary cafeteria will open each morning at 7:30 AM for breakfast. Teachers are not on duty until that time. Buses will drop off at the JH at that time as well. Please do not drop off students any earlier. After breakfast, students are to report straight to their first our classrooms.
