A little after 1pm today, Governor Stitt, State Superintendent Hoffmeister, the head of the Ok Health Department and a Dr. from the medical Board gave a press conference. You can see it by typing the following in your web browser. rdm.me/MgxoZsf68l
They said to continue school and continue working, just use normal precautions such as keeping 6 ft away from others, washing hands regularly, drinking plenty of water and covering sneezes and coughs. You should refrain from shaking hands and other close personal contact. Again, we are upping our efforts to sanitize water fountains, door knobs, restrooms, computers and desks. If your child has a fever, we ask that you keep them home as you would with any other virus. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
It is always our goal to provide a safe and healthy environment at school. With the World Health Organization declaring the COVID-19 "Coronovirus" outbreak a pandemic, Stuart Schools will be increasing our efforts at sanitizing our building and keeping you informed of best practices for prevention of not only the Coronavirus, but also viruses that can be transmitted through personal contact.
We do not believe that people should live their lives in fear, but we do believe we should be prepared in the event the worse happens. To protect our students, community, patrons , and our staff, we ask that anyone with flu-like symptoms stay home. We will work with students on absences and have their work ready to make up if they are sick.
On our website is the current information ( current at time of print as it changes daily) regarding travel, self-quarantine, and general precautions to take in the event you have been exposed or become exposed. Travel restrictions have been handed down from the White House and the CDC has a list of countries that require self-quarantine if you have been there, Please look at these resources as we have posted them in our DOCUMENTS on our site and we will try to keep you informed on the status of this Pandemic as it relates to our school.

If you are interested in seeing our Boys off to the State Tournament tomorrow, 3/5/2020, the bus will be leaving the school at noon with an escort from the Fire Department! We welcome ALL to come show your support!
Just a reminder that we will not have school this Friday, March 6.
The Boys Basketball team will be staying at the Country Inn and Suites (airport) at 2415 S. Meridian Ave. in OKC. 405.605.8300. Anyone wanting to book a hotel room there can tell them you are "Stuart Hornet Fans" and receive a discounted room rate. (They are using this instead of a block number.) The team is staying Thursday and Friday night.
I would like to give a big shout out to our PTO for the signcade for the front drive! Thank you all for helping us be the best we can be and for supporting our children and teachers!
Our Boys Basketball Team qualified for the State Tournament in Oklahoma City! They will play Thursday night at 8:30pm at the State Fair Arena. When they win, they will play at 1:30 pm Friday at the State Fair Arena. Therefore, we will dismiss school on Friday, March 6. We will be in school on Thursday since they play late that night. We hope you can all come out to cheer our Hornets to Victory! If you are interested in purchasing a State Playoff T-shirt, either call the school to order with a credit card, or come by to pay with cash before 9am in the morning as we must order by that time to get the shirts in by Thursday morning. GO HORNETS!
Our Stuart Hornet Boys Basketball Team just defeated the Davenport Bulldogs 58 - 53 in an overtime thriller! They will play again tomorrow night at 8 pm in the Mvskoke Dome in Okmulgee. They will play the loser of the Kiowa-Calumet game that plays at 8pm tonight. We hope you all can come out and cheer our hornets on to State!
