LifeTouch pictures have not arrived yet. When they come in we will get them distributed. Thank you for your patience.
The lunch process will change this week. We will only hand out lunches on Mondays and Wednesdays. This will happen at the same time as last week. You will still get food for every day of the week. We are cutting it down to decrease how often people are getting out of their house. Each kid will receive 3 meals per day. This is because we were able to add the supper program back in! So, on Monday kids will receive 6 meals... 3 for Monday and 3 for Tuesday. On Wednesday each kid will receive 9 meals. 3 for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Be on the lookout for menu changes. We are doing our best to try and add some variety in for you!

The Ryan School Teachers and Staff want to let you know that we miss our students. This Sunday at 3:00 we are planning to have a town wide parade to show our love. We will be leaving from the school parking lot and doing our best to travel up and down each street. If you are on out of town student we invite you to sit in your car in the church parking lots or down Main Street so we can see your smiling faces as well. Kids at home can make signs or decorate their sidewalks and sit on their porches and wave. Kids in cars feel free to make signs as well and wave from cars as we go by. Can’t wait to see you all during this time of having to be apart.

As you probably already know The State Board of Education voted to close school buildings across Oklahoma. Schools are supposed to transition to "Distance Learning". Lets make sure everyone understands this does not mean everything will have to move to online! We have started having meetings to come up with a plan that fits our students and community the best. We will have more information about the Distance Learning next week.
We have also had lots of questions about numerous activities. Prom and graduation at the top of the list. Those are currently postponed as we wait and see what happens during these uncertain times. We will do our best to do everything we can for our students as soon as we are allowed to.
Thank you for your patience and support!!
I know everyone is wondering how Ryan Public Schools is going to handle “distance learning”. We do not have any details yet as to how we will do this. We will receive more guidance from the Oklahoma State Department of Education in the next couple of days. Please be patient as we do our best to serve our students! I can assure you we will keep the best interest of our students in mind while we figure this out. I want to think the parents and community for your understanding during the unprecedented time.
We have received word from Waste Connections, which is the company that picks up our trash. They are going to start following stricter safety guidelines and requirements to help prevent the potential spread of Covid-19. They will no longer collect any waste outside of the cart or dumpster. All residential services are "Cart Contents Only". This guideline will reduce the risk of direct human contact with any potentially contaminated waste.
Looking forward to sending more meals with kids today. Any kid under 19 years old can eat. You don’t have to do any paperwork or anything. Just show up to get your meal. The meals are free.
We served 81 people today. Each person received breakfast and lunch. We would like to get this number to around 130. If you did not get meals today please come and get them tomorrow. We would like to maintain high numbers so that we can continue doing this for our students!
Meals ready to go. We are at the nutrition center now!
We will be at the housing authority at 10:30 and the school at 11:00.
Please just pull up and we will bring the meals to your car!
We will be serving meals during this mandatory school closure. See the attached flyer. Also, please fill out the survey to help us prepare the correct number of meals. The survey is 2 questions and will take less than 1 minute. If you have any questions call the superintendent office Mon-Thur 9:00AM-2:00PM.

Dear Ryan Public School parents and staff:
This afternoon, the state Board of Education voted to close all Oklahoma schools, effective immediately, until at least April 6 in an effort to minimize the spread of COVID-19. This includes Ryan Public Schools. Additionally, there will be no school activities during this time.
While state officials mandated schools to close for two weeks following spring break, they also encouraged administrators to prepare for the possibility of longer-term closures, if it becomes necessary. At least 35 other states across the country also have made the decision to close schools statewide in the interest of public health.
Oklahoma schools are not expected to be required to make-up the missed days. At this time, schools have been instructed by the state Department of Education not to provide online, home-based or distance learning for students.
This is an unprecedented situation, and it continues to evolve by the hour. We know this uncertainty can cause anxiety and worry, but we want to assure you that Ryan Public Schools is doing everything possible to ensure the needs of students and employees will be met during this unique time. We will be closed for classes, but – as a district – we will continue to serve our community, while abiding by the healthy best practices that have been recommended by the CDC. Employees will receive information about their responsibilities during the school closure over the next few days.
We encourage you to comply with what health officials have recommended as well. If you can, please stay home and enjoy family time. If you must go out, please practice social distancing, allowing at least six feet between you and other individuals. If you have questions about COVID-19, please contact your medical professional or the county health department. You also can learn more about how to prevent the illness by visiting https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prepare/prevention.html
Communication will be key during the next two weeks. It is our hope that accurate and up-to-date correspondence will combat fear and panic, as well as help you make well-informed decisions for your family. As a district, we will be sending correspondence to you by on Facebook, our school app, and www.ryan.k12.ok.us.
For Ryan Public Schools, there is nothing more important than the safety and health of our students, staff and community. We want you to be safe, and we appreciate your flexibility and understanding. Ryan is strong, and we will get through this together.
Sincerely,
Marcus Chapman
It is with great sadness that the Greatest Show has came to an early end. Please keep our exhibitors that are not getting to show their market animals in your thoughts.
The Ryan crew has had another busy day at OYE! We finished up our pig showing season with Madisen & Easton Rhoades showing. Riley Ross exhibited 3 does, and Braden Jackson took 5th place in class 11, which is a great accomplishment! Cattle are checked in and will all show tomorrow to expedite the show. Please keep OYE Admin in your thoughts as they fight to keep our kids showing.
Ryan FFA & 4-H has had a busy day! We now have all exhibitors in OKC. Koble Lewis placed 5th in his showmanship class and Braden Jackson placed 8th with his class 3 wether dam doe. Andrew did a great job with his gilt. Congrats to our crew today
