NOWATA vs OKU Football game updates:
Senior night will start at 6:30 this evening.
We will recognize the millitary this evening by asking them to stand at during half time so that we can thank them. If a full season plays out, having our more traditional recognition ceremony is a possibility.
Both teams will wear their school jerseys. The millitary jerseys are unfotrunatley unavailable this evening.
Both bands will be playing at halftime.
We are asking that you wear a face covering this evening. COVID cases are rising in Nowata county.


For clarification, the Junior High football festival is Saturday.

We have a Junior High football festival in Hominy at 9:30am. Players be at the field-house no later than 8am.


In case Nowata Elementary would close traditional learning for more than a couple of days, we would go virtual along with the High School and Middle School.
The elementary is one Ipad per student ratio. All the programs you will need are on the Ipads.
The MS and HS send the devices home every night to be brought back every morning. We use the devices in the classroom daily. Due to the age of our students, we do not feel this is an option. If we were to go virtual, we would create several check-out times for our devices. There is a $25.00 insurance charge per device. We have the insurance for your benefit if the device were broken or damaged, it can be fixed or replaced. You may use a device you have at home, we would give you directions for the applications you would need to download.
At this time it is very important that you sign up on your student’s ClassDojo. All of our teachers use ClassDojo. The teacher has invited you, we are still missing many responses back. If we were to need to send short term distance learning assignments, this would be the method we would use. ClassDojo is also a communication tool with the classroom teacher.

Due to the recent rise in COVID cases, non participants will be required to wear face coverings at the football game Friday evening.

Students, the expectation is that you complete what your teachers have posted today. Please make sure you log in. If you have limited WiFi access, the schools WiFi works in the parking lot. Feel free to stop by for a few minutes and get stuff downloaded.
