Minco Patrons,
I am happy to report that the last two weeks Minco Public Schools has had no known cases of covid 19. We are very grateful for this. We also realize this will change, and we are ready to deal with this as in the past. There are some major changes however to certain rules of exposure and quarantining.
If a student is exposed to covid 19 IN THE CLASSROOM, That student will be allowed to attend school academic classes. The students must wear a mask. The students who have been exposed in the classsroom although allowed to be in classes WILL NOT be allowed to participate in extracurricular activities such as athletics, band, FFA, FCCLA, vocal music and the such. These are the rules as amended by Governor Stitt and only refer to classroom exposure. We do believe this will help keep children in the classroom.
Exceptions to this are students who are exposed outside the classroom settings. If a student is exposed in athletics, extracurricular activities or outside of the classroom such as home, he or she will be required to quarantine at home 10 days or 7 full days with a negative test days FIVE through SEVEN.
This has been a challenging year for all for all of us. As we continue, let us strive to do our part to limit the spread of this evil virus. Please feel free to email me at ksims@minco.k12.ok.us if you should have any questions.
Thank you,
Kevin Sims
Superintendent
Due to the ongoing pandemic, and the rigidity of the rules that we as a school have to deal with, we have decided that Minco Public Schools will not sponsor a prom this year. We are sorry, but we are required to follow the directives of the state department of health. That is why we have reached this particular decision. If the parents of the juniors and seniors elect to have a prom, it will not be school sanctioned or led. Thank you for you understanding in this matter.
Regards,
Kevin Sims, Superintendent
