OKLAHOMA CITY (Free Press) — Oklahoma City Public Schools plan another virtual learning day Thursday, February 24, because of sleet, ice, and brutal temperatures in central Oklahoma this week.

Students are instructed to log in to Canvas and follow previous instructions on how to access their virtual learning asynchronously.

All activities have been cancelled for the day as well as all meal services. That means that curbside meal service will also not be available.

District officials are monitoring the weather and will make decisions about classes on Friday “as soon as possible” a news release said.

District instructions

The following are instructions given by the district for students and their families:

ELEMENTARY families are encouraged to log-in for a short meeting with your child’s teacher sometime between 8:20 – 9:00am to discuss the day’s expectations and so the teacher can answer any questions you may have. Of course, you can always email your teacher as well.

MIDDLE & HIGH SCHOOL families will also have opportunities to check in with your child’s teachers. All assignments will be uploaded to your class Canvas page and Office Hours will be held at specific times during the day. See the chart below for when your teacher is available. Of course, you can always email your teacher as well.
