Good afternoon, I am sure we have all enjoyed seeing the sunshine and blue skies today. Now if we can just get some more heat to complete the thaw out. If you have been able to get out today, you know that while most of the main highways are clear and dry we still have several side and back roads that are snow packed and almost impassable. So, we will finish the week with another virtual day on Friday, Feb. 19th.
We will also have a virtual day on Monday, Feb. 22nd. Our regional health department has scheduled a vaccination pod in Norman for PK-12 employees. Several of our staff members have scheduled appointments to receive the vaccination throughout the day. With so many staff members out of the building at any given time we will not have enough staff to adequately supervise the students. We are all ready to get back to in person learning and hopefully the progress that is being made with the vaccinations will ensure more in person days in the future.

Good afternoon, well maybe we have turned a corner and can begin the long thaw (knock on wood). Due to the condition of several of our roads Am-Po Schools will again be closed tomorrow, Thursday, Feb. 18th, and continue with virtual/distance lessons.

Good afternoon, Due to road and weather conditions Am-Po schools will remain closed tomorrow, Wed. Feb. 17th. Students should continue to complete assignments assigned virtually or previously sent home. If you experience a power outage just contact your teacher(s) as soon as you can and we will make adjustments. With more winter weather in the forecast we will continue to monitor the situation and make decisions daily for the remainder of the week. Stay safe and warm.

PLEASE NOTE: District Playoff games originally scheduled for Saturday, February 20 have been moved to Tuesday, February 23.

Due to inclement weather and negative wind chills, Am-Po Schools will have a remote learning day on Tuesday, February 16th. Please stay safe and warm.

Good afternoon, due to current weather conditions, Am-Po schools will be meeting virtually tomorrow, Monday, Feb. 15th.

Good evening from the North Pole, or so it seems. We have been watching weather reports and checking roads all day long and have decided that we will be in school tomorrow, Thursday, Feb. 11th. We will check roads again in the morning in case something changes overnight. If your child rides a bus please do not have them wait outside, if necessary we will wait for them a little longer than normal. This may cause some of our routes to take a little longer so please be patient if they are running late. If your child normally drives to school and you would prefer for them to leave a little later please do so. We will be flexible and allow additional time for safe travel. For the most part, roads in the district are in good shape and dry but we encourage everyone to take your time and be aware of the conditions in the morning.
If we receive the amount of snow they are predicting over the weekend, several days next week may be impacted. Students and staff will need to prepare for the possibility of distance learning in the event school has to be closed.
We will be out of school on Friday, Feb. 12th as previously scheduled and we will reschedule our Parent-Teacher conference night soon.
Stay safe and warm!

Good evening, due to the threat of slick roads in the morning, Amber-Pocasset schools will not meet in person tomorrow, Wednesday, February 10th. Students should log in to complete assignments virtually or complete any work that was sent home today. Please stay safe and warm.

Good afternoon, with the deteriorating road conditions we will be shutting down Parent/Teacher conferences early this evening. Once the current ongoing conferences end we will close the buildings. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. We still plan to have our second night of conferences on Thursday, Feb. 11th from 3:30-6:30 p.m. If you need to have a conference and are unable to make it Thursday night please contact your teacher or principal and we will make arrangements. Have a good evening and stay safe.

Meal Program Update
I want to start by saying a huge “Thank You!” to OPAA Food Management for preparing the meals and Williams Grocery in Tuttle for providing the bags. So far we are scheduled to provide 132 meals on Monday. If you are scheduled for delivery please be expecting delivery between 9:45-10:30. If you are planning on meeting us at Friend school we will likely be there before 10:00. After the first day we should be able to narrow down a more accurate time.
If you are picking up at Pocasset, pick up will be between 10:00 and 10:30. Please pull around to the back side of the cafeteria (west side). We will have individuals bring the meals out to your vehicle. Access to the building will not be allowed.
If you are picking up at Amber, pick up will be between 10:00 and 10:30. Please pull up to the east side of the building (by the flag pole). We will have individuals bring the meals out to your vehicle. Access to the building will not be allowed.
If you have not been contacted or able to respond back to request a meal please contact us at sguthrie@amposchools.org. We also ask that you help us share this information so we can serve everyone that needs it. When contacting us please provide us with the following information:
• Will you be picking up? If so at the Amber campus or the Pocasset campus.
• If you need delivery we will need your address and if you normally ride a bus route who is your driver.
• Number of meals you are requesting
Finally, we have received several offers from individuals willing to volunteer and we appreciate each and every one. However, we want to make sure we are being responsible to the safeguards recommended by the CDC, so we are limiting the number of workers to just the minimum needed. If the situation changes and the program grows we may be reaching out but at this time we feel we are able to staff the program adequately.

We have just received word that all OSSAA Tournament games are postponed indefinitely. As we receive additional information we will pass it along.

This information was just received from the Oklahoma Secondary Athletic Association;
UPDATE: 9:25 a.m.- Thursday, March 12--The OSSAA continues to actively monitor the public health concerns related to COVID-19. Our Staff has been in contact with the Oklahoma Department of Health this morning and based on the updates we have received, we will we proceed with all tournaments being played as scheduled. We do advise players, coaches, officials, contest workers and spectators to practice good hygiene by washing hands thoroughly and frequently; coughing and sneezing into kleenex and then immediately disposing of it are also recommended. If you have a fever or do not feel well, we ask that you not attend any games. Most games will be live-streamed on the NFHSNetwork.com. A link can be found on the homepage of OSSAA.com.
