CARNEGIE

At this time, in accordance with the guidelines of the Oklahoma State Board of Education's mandatory closure of Oklahoma schools, Carnegie Public Schools will be closed through Sunday, April 5th. During this time, NO groups can assemble on school grounds or in school facilities. All school buildings, athletic facilities, and fields will remain closed during the closure. All school related activities and events scheduled during the closure have been cancelled. Any plans for rescheduling will be made once the closure has ended. During the two-week mandated closure, academics and grading has been suspended by the State Department of Education (SDE). We are awaiting information concerning Federal Waivers that the SDE has submitted to provide guidance on State Testing and other Federal requirements.

During the closure there will be phone contact availability with the school during the hours of 9 AM to 12 Noon (Monday-Thursday). Parents or families can make contact by calling the Superintendent's Office at 580-654-1470 beginning Monday, March 23rd.

The district, as requested by the SDE will be making arrangements for a "Grab and Go" Sack Lunch Program for students beginning on Monday, March 23rd. School Administration will have sack lunches available for student pick up at 11:30 AM - 12 Noon at the South End of Main Street, the North End of the Memorial Building, and near Carnegie Lumber. Any child 18 years or younger will be eligible to come to one of these locations to pick up a FREE sack lunch.

We will continue to share important information through our school page FB Page, so please watch here for updates. We encourage you to share this information with family and friends.

We appreciate your patience and flexibility as we move forward.
