27 September 2020
Dear Parents,
In an effort to keep you informed on the health status of our district, we will be reporting weekly on any positive cases of COVID-19 within our schools and any exposure to positive cases. While we hope we can avoid any more positive cases in our community, we expect to have a few students or staff exposed to COVID during this time, and they will be asked to quarantine as per the OKC - County Department of Health guidelines. Remember, an exposure is not the same as a positive case.
It is important to keep in mind that if your child is ever exposed to a COVID positive person at school, you will be notified immediately. This report is only to make you aware of the overall incidents within our district. With each incident, and on other occasions, we are consulting with the OKC - County Health Department.
During this last week, we have experienced two POSITIVE CASES, one at the elementary school and one at the high school. We also had 26 reported exposures. Families with students that were at risk of exposure were notified directly. Each individual is following the quarantining protocol as prescribed by OKCCH.
We are following CDC guidelines and protocols set by the State Department of Health and our school district to decrease potential spread. The use of masks is critical to this cause. Also, we have limited the contact time and provided social distancing whenever possible.
Should your child/children start exhibiting COVID related symptoms, it is strongly recommended that you contact their primary care physician or the local health department to have them tested immediately. Also, if anyone in your home is experiencing symptoms, PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO SCHOOL until it is certain they have not been exposed or have quarantined the appropriate amount of time. Should you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact your child’s principal.
Sincerely,
Carl Johnson, Ph.D.
Superintendent
Jones Public Schools
💚🤘Reminder: No School Tomorrow🤘💚

Softball meeting for high school & junior high parents this Thursday 6/18 at 7:15 p.m. in the bleachers at the softball field. Only 1 parent per player.
Earlier today, the OSSAA board voted to conduct summertime activities in accordance with current Rules and Policies as listed in the Administrator’s Handbook. While many may feel this permits a return to immediate, full participation, Jones Public Schools will take a more measured approach.
Over the last several days, Jones Public Schools has been in the process of developing a plan for the safe reintegration of our student-athletes and coaches into summertime activities. We will continue to develop that plan and provide it to our community in the coming days. This plan will ensure compliance with all federal, state, and local health and safety guidelines.
JMS parents: attached are the google classroom codes and teacher contact info. Students will log in using their school google log in and then use the codes to join each google classroom. Extra packets can be located on our website: jones.k12.ok.us
The State Department of Education is expected to order all schools in Oklahoma to close until April 6. We appreciate our state leaders being proactive during this health crisis. Our administrative team has been working on plans to support our students and their families as much as we can. We have requested permission from the state to provide meals to all families that need that service. We have to consider the possibility that there will be subsequent, longer closures, so we are also working on plans to provide some modified instruction online. Students who do not have the opportunity to participate in online activities will not be penalized; however, we are working diligently to make sure EVERY student will have that opportunity. We hope to be able to provide details on these plans in the next few days.
