We hope everyone has a great and safe spring break!
Many of you may have plans to travel or host friends and relatives over spring break. With various viruses going around locally and globally, please be health contentious.
It is important to monitor for illness for 21 days upon returning from any travel. If your kid(s) become sick after returning from travel, contact your health care provider and let them know your child’s symptoms and where they traveled.
Specifically, due to cases of Measles reported in Oklahoma, an ongoing outbreak in New Mexico and Texas, and other states across the U.S. reporting measles cases, we encourage you to monitor for any measles symptoms, especially if you have traveled or hosted guests.
The measles vaccine (usually given as a combination vaccine with measles, mumps, and rubella or MMR vaccine) can prevent measles. It is recommended for all children between 12 and 15 months and again between four and six years of age. If you have an exemption on file for your child, they are still able to receive an MMR vaccine if you choose.
Cap and gown pictures for seniors, 8th grade, and kindergarten for the yearbook, along with individual spring pictures, baseball and softball pictures, are on Monday, March 10.
Keota Public Schools WILL BE in session on campus Friday, March 7th and Friday, May 2nd to make up for the inclement weather days missed on February 19 and 20. Please contact the High School office or Elementary Office if you have any questions.
Due to continuing hazardous road conditions with the low temperatures, we are acting out of an abundance of caution for our students, faculty & staff and will have an inclement weather day for Thursday, February 20th. High school boys will play Friday, February 21, 2025 at 2:30 p.m. at Allen, OK against Porum. The Superintendent's Office will be open from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. for business. Stay safe and warm!
Due to the freezing temperatures that will occur overnight, the possibility of more rain/sleet/snow, and the resulting road conditions, Keota Public School will be closed for an inclement weather day. The special board meeting will be held at 5:00 p.m. in the Superintendent's building. We will continue to monitor the weather for the remainder of the week. Any change to the basketball regional tournament will be posted as soon as we know. Stay safe and warm!
According to the National Weather Service in Tulsa, a Winter Weather Advisory has indicated that Keota could possibly receive snow (up to 4"), sleet (up to 0.2"), and/or ice (up to 0.2"). This weather is expected to happen between Tuesday 6 a.m.- Wednesday 6 a.m. Keota Schools will have a virtual learning day on Tuesday, February 18, 2025. A decision for Wednesday, February 19, will be made on Tuesday evening no later than 6 p.m. Stay safe and warm!
Parents: students are being sent home packets of work for the potential of a virtual day, due to the potential of incoming weather. The administration is monitoring the weather and will make a decision no later than 6 pm this evening, 2/17.
Keota Public Schools is accepting Valentine's Day deliveries for students tomorrow, February 13. We ask that you have them here by 11 am. If your student rides a bus, they can not have a balloon with them. Students will be given those at the end of the day. Please see the elementary and high school offices on where to take them. Again, no balloons for bus riders.
Please be aware that there have been a few reported cases of illness at school. To prevent spreading, please keep your child home if they are experiencing symptoms like [fever, vomiting, diarrhea] and encourage frequent handwashing. The school has procedures in place for sending and keeping children home from school when they are ill. We follow these procedures to make sure that children are given an adequate amount of time and rest to get well before returning to school. This also prevents the spread of illness to others. Good attendance is important for success, but we also want to protect the health of other students, families and staff. Please do your part to know when your child should come or stay home! We will continue to monitor the situation and update you as needed. School Staff will be disinfecting the buildings and hopefully the illnesses will begin to clear out by Monday, February 3, 2025.
January is School Board Appreciation Month! We are fortunate to have some amazing individuals who donate their time and effort to Keota Public Schools. Thank you for all that you do!
Congratulations to Keota Public Schools on being one of the highest rated schools in the county! Proud to be a Lion!
Keota Public Schools will be in session tomorrow. Buses will run regular routes, unless your bus driver has messaged you otherwise. We hope to see everyone tomorrow!
Due to the possibility of inclement weather arriving early Thursday morning, we will be transitioning to virtual for Thursday, January 9th, and Friday, January 10th. We apologize for any inconvenience. We will return to in-person learning Monday, January 13th, weather permitting. We will update any information on the basketball tournament in Webbers Falls, as soon as we receive it.
We hope that you all had a fantastic break! School starts back tomorrow! Reminder: The school buildings do not open until 7:45 a.m. and it is cold outside. Please dress your child accordingly to the weather and please wait until 7:45 am to drop them off.
