High school students school is back to normal tomorrow. It should be a great day. Busses will be running as normal if your a bus rider.
Students today starts the new grading policy. So, from this point on if you turn an assignment in late it will be given a 0 on the third day. The first and second days it is late, the teacher will decide what grade to give. As always, if you miss school for an excused reason, you will be given the appropriate amount of time to get work turned in without penalty.
Nowata Public Schools Community,
We hope you have had a safe and restful Fall Break. After careful examination of the COVID-19 situation, we have made the decision to continue with distance learning at the high school through Wednesday, October 21. Please see below for additional information.
- High school students will return to in-person learning on Thursday, October 22 unless you have been specifically contacted with a different in-person return date. High school students will not be able to ride the bus Thursday, October 22.
- Elementary and middle schools will return to in-person learning tomorrow, October 20. Busses will run normally for elementary and middle school students.
If you are experiencing any COVID symptoms, we encourage you to get tested.
Safety continues to be our number one priority. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at ctanner@npsok.org or 918-273-3425.

October 14, 2020
Notice to all Parents
As of today, we have received multiple calls identifying Nowata students who have tested positive for COVID-19. Thank you for your efforts in keeping the school informed, so we can continue to keep our students and staff safe. Because we are a small school, it is quite likely that your student has been in close contact with another student who has since tested positive. We encourage you to monitor your child for symptoms of COVID-19 and seek testing. Parents who have students who must be quarantined as a result of exposure have been notified.
We will notify our school community with updates as we continue to work closely with State and County Health Departments. Please do not hesitate to contact us via email at ctanner@npsok.org or bwilliams@npsok.org.
Due to safety concerns, Thursday’s football game has been postponed. We will announce a new date and time when one is established.

The football game Friday night has been cancelled/postponed. It became clear late this afternoon that the safest course of action was to not play tomorrow night. I would like to thank the community for their patience and understanding.

At the varisty game in Dewey Friday evening, they will require masks to get in. They would like us enter on the visitors side. They will have a food truck and port potties available. They want us to know we are welcome to use the main restroom if needed, but would prefer that we stay on our side if at all possible. Our band and cheerleaders will be there. I will update you if Dewey has any changes later in the week.
