Valentine’s Day parties have been rescheduled for Friday, February 26. We will also deliver Valentine’s Grams at that time! 💕💕
Rogers County is ORANGE 1 for next week! We are so pleased that Rogers County’s Covid-19 level has been downgraded to Orange 1. This allows us to bring all our students (excluding full-time virtual students) back on campus to learn in-person. We look forward to seeing everyone on Monday!
OTPS Families,
Because of the weather and road conditions our food delivery truck has been delayed and will not arrive until sometime tomorrow.
We plan to resume Grab and Go Meal distribution on Monday, February 22nd from 9:15 - 9:45 am.
Families may fill out the online form to order meals for up to 7 days per child under 18 years in their household.
Please make sure to answer all questions completely with the pick up date stating Monday.
Thank you!
OUE Families - We will be on distance learning for the rest of the week. Please be sure to send your student back with their laptop and charger on Monday. We hope your family is all safe and warm, and we look forward to seeing everyone on Monday! ❄️❄️
Teachers will post work for your student beginning tomorrow and continuing each day we are out for distance learning. They will also be sending work that can be completed on paper for those who are experiencing internet or technology issues. We will be extremely understanding during this time, but we do ask that you please contact your child’s teacher via email, Remind, or other communication methods if you are unable to complete the work that is sent. Each teacher will also continue having a daily Zoom opportunity for your student if they should need any assistance or additional instruction.
It is our sincere hope that your family is warm and safe during this unprecedented weather. We will get through this together! If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your child’s teacher or email Mrs. Adkins at kendra.adkins@oologah.k12.ok.us. Be safe, and take care! 💙❄️💛

Oologah-Talala Public Schools will be distance learning for the remainder of this week and through Wednesday, February, 17 of next week. I am concerned with current road conditions but also next week's forecast of single digit morning temperatures for our bus riders. We will resume in person classes Thursday February 18, as long as weather permits.
Tomorrow (Thursday) we are providing a week's worth of breakfast and lunches for any child (0-18 years of age) from 11:00-12:00 at the Upper Elementary Storm Shelter. Please stay in your vehicle and the meals will be brought to you. To sign up for the meals please see our website and fill out the grab and go meal form.
Elementary students that need to pick up their school device can do that during the grab and go pick up time of 11:00-12:00 Thursday. Lower Elementary students will pick up their device by using the LE bus loop in front of the LE Storm Shelter and the Upper Elementary students will pick up their device at the Upper Elementary front entrance. Please stay in your vehicles and the device will be brought to you. You will also be receiving information from your child's Principal concerning this pick up.
Last, please be careful. Some roads have been treated and many have not. Please go slow and keep your distance to avoid any accidents. If you do not think it is safe, please stay at home. Your safety is our number one concern.
Stay Warm and Safe,
Max Tanner
Superintendent

We couldn't let the year end without acknowledging the amazing achievements of our students! So, beginning tomorrow, we will be sharing a "Virtual Awards Assembly" for one grade each day! The presentation for 3rd grade will be tomorrow, 4th grade will be Wednesday, and 5th grade will be Thursday. The presentations will be posted directly to our YouTube channel, and the link will be shared on our Facebook page, the OUE website, and via your teacher's Remind group. We hope all of our students and families will watch the assembly and cheer on their friends! However, to spare any hurt feelings, we will contact you if your student is receiving an award. Certificates will be included with your child's supplies when they are able to be picked up. Thank you!
Due to the school closure, we were not able to take orders for yearbooks this year. However, both OLE and OUE will sell this year’s yearbook at the start of the 2020-2021 school year. Please watch our Facebook pages and school website for more information!
It's Teacher Appreciation Week, and we are so grateful for the amazing staff of Oologah Upper Elementary! Please find time this week to reach out to your student's teachers and let them know how much you appreciate all they do!
