File Photo: Oklahoma City Public Schools (OKCPS) have been pressing for online competency in classrooms over recent years. With inclement weather continuing, school officials said classes would be remote on Thursday, February 11.
The City Sentinel is an independent, locally-owned newspaper based in Oklahoma City.
Due to continued winter weather conditions, Thursday, February 11 will be another SYNCHRONOUS Remote Learning day for ALL students in the Oklahoma City Public Schools.
This means teachers will continue to provide synchronous (live) instruction to all students as they log in to their classes (via Google Meet) from home using their device at a designated time, according to a press release sent to The City Sentinel, CapitolBeatOK.com and other news organizations Wednesday evening, February 10.
There will be no school on Friday, February 12 due to Parent/Teacher conferences. The release said, “Your child’s teacher should have connected with you to schedule a virtual or phone conference. If you do not have an appointment scheduled for either Thursday evening or sometime Friday, please reach out to your child’s teacher.”
OKCPS Curbside Meal Service is suspended for Thursday and Friday. All district-sponsored activities have been cancelled for the remainder of the week as well. District facilities will be closed for the remainder of the week, and staff will be working from home.
This means that schools and some offices will not be able to answer phones, so families will need to use email or the parent portal to connect with school staff.
Winter weather is expected to continue into next week.
District officials will provide updates as needed through social media, phone and text messages and on OKCPS.org.
