Clyde Boyd Sixth Grade Center students were quickly evacuated to safety by site teachers and staff this morning when a fire broke out in a bathroom. The cause of the fire is unknown at this time. The Fire Department was contacted immediately and was able to extinguish the fire, then cleared the 7th and 8th grade facility for students to reenter. The 6th grade students were quickly relocated to the Clyde Boyd Middle School Gymnasium for parents to pick up.
Students will not report to school in person tomorrow. Instead, tomorrow will be a distance learning day for sixth graders. Parents will need to pick up their students' belongings today after 1:00 pm. For questions, please call the sixth grade center at (918) 246-1535.

Sandite Families,
As we enter into Distance Learning with our 6th through 12th students, it is important to continue to follow important health protocols even when school is remote. Remember the 3 W’s: Wash your hands, Wear your mask, and Watch your distance. Please continue to call or email and update your child’s school IF:
Your student has been in close contact with someone who tested positive for Covid 19, OR
Your student has tested positive for COVID 19
This information is important and allows us to determine when it is safe for your child to return to school.
Sincerely,
Sandite Nursing Team

Good afternoon parents and guardians.
North side schools were in a brief lockdown this afternoon for precautionary measures due to a police pursuit of an individual. The lockdown lasted approximately 30 minutes and we were cleared at 3:12. Safety procedures for buses were enacted and may have caused delays. Students and staff remained safe at all times.
