Dear Parents/Guardians, we were recently notified that a staff member at McLoud Intermediate School has tested positive for COVID-19. The district has worked in cooperation with local health officials to determine quarantine requirements. Students and staff members who must self-quarantine for 14 days have been notified by Mrs. Drew and her staff. 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. 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

Good afternoon MHS parents and students! Parents, please have your student return their Chromebook if they checked one out for the two weeks we were on distance learning. We need these back tomorrow along with the charger that the student was given! Thank you so much!

What’s happening this week at the Intermediate!

Intermediate 5th and 6th Grade Basketball Schedule

Intermediate parents: Due to being on distance for the weather last week RRW has been moved to Nov 16th-19th. The dress up spirit days will stay the same. We will continue to do our coin/money wars until the 19th, so students can keep bringing change for their class to win.

High school students please remember to bring your Chromebooks back tomorrow!!

Good morning MHS students and parents! We hope everyone has their power back and can’t wait to see you back in class tomorrow! Enjoy your Sunday!

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.
