Based on the recommendations presented by the State Superintendent of Education Joy Hofmeister, Navajo Public Schools will be in session tomorrow, Friday March 13th, and our spring break will start at the end of the school day tomorrow as scheduled. We will continue to monitor the situation and any future updates will be communicated through the Navajo school’s website and our Facebook pages. Thank you for your continued support of Navajo Public Schools.

Dear Navajo Public Schools Families and Community Members,
Regarding the Coronavirus Disease 2019(COVID-19) and other communicable diseases, we believe it is best to be prepared with preventative, containment and management measures. The health and safety of our students, staff and families are of utmost importance; therefore, we want to share safety precautions that have been set forth by state and federal officials.
The Oklahoma State Department of Health and the Oklahoma State Department of Education are partnering to provide specific guidance regarding Spring Break and other travels for our school families, students and district staff.
Individuals returning from travel to China, South Korea, Italy, Iran, Japan or any other Level 2 or 3 country as identified by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) should self-quarantine for a period of 14 days before returning to school. This applies to all students, teachers, and other school or district staff.
Steps for returning travelers from Level 2 or 3 countries:
IF you travel out of the United States, please notify your student’s school.
IF a staff member or student has been exposed to COVID-19, contact the Jackson County Health Department at 580-482-7308, your physician, and your student’s school. Students and their parents should call their student’s school site to report absences and exposure to the virus. Please communicate with your school Principal.
Thank you for your continued efforts to keep our students and staff healthy and safe. We will send additional information as it is available and needed.
Sincerely,
Vicki Nance
Superintendent
