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.

JMS is with partial power this morning. OG&E is currently here working on the problem. They estimate it will be at least noon before it’s fixed. We are continuing on with our day at JMS. We will have sack lunches and plenty of bottled water for students. Classes are being moved to other classrooms with power. Phones are down, so please call the high school if you need us and they can relay that message to us. Your students have been so awesome this morning! They are being flexible and rolling with it.
