Congratulations to both the Nowata MS and Nowata HS Choir for each receiving an Excellence Rating at the NEO Choir Festival. I am very proud of all the hard work and dedication that both groups have put in to their festival season.
Good afternoon! Looking ahead at the forecasted weather for next week, mother nature is sending us a pretty clear message that winter is not over yet. With that in mind, we are cancelling the parent / teacher conferences scheduled for Tuesday, February 11th and rescheduling them for Tuesday, February 18th from 3:30-5:30pm. If there are any other changes to activities or events scheduled for next week, we will make those decisions as our weather picture becomes more clear. Thank you and have a wonderful day!

Just to clarify: It is perfectly fine if your child needs to remain at school. Lunch will be served as planned, and we will do our best to meet our students' needs until water is restored. Bus transportation will run as normal at the end of the school day.
Good Afternoon,
A few minutes ago we received notification from the city that our water would be shut off for at least 90 minutes but possibly longer. The heads-up allowed us to give our students a bathroom break and we will be able to serve lunch. If I could dismiss school, I would, but I cannot risk sending students home on a bus to empty houses. If you want to pick up your student or check them out by phone, please feel free to do so. There will be no repercussions concerning school work or attendance. If your child needs to remain at school, we will do our best to accommodate their needs until water service is restored.
