It has not been fun keeping individual classes separated but it is situations like this that reaffirm we are doing the right thing.

Thank you parents for reinforcing it on your end, and thank you to the parents of the affected class for being so understanding. That's how Wildcats roll!

We do encourage families who have not yet completed the 2020-2021 free and reduced lunch application to complete it should this program end. If you need another copy, please contact the school.

JT Parents: Today will do a belongings/packet pickup at both campuses between 1-4 PM. You will also be able to drop off textbooks and library books as well as pick up band instruments and athletic belongings. Elementary-use the main entrance.

Pull around to South Side of Gym. PLEASE REMAIN IN CAR! Items will be brought out to you. If you need band instruments/athletic items, you will be directed on how to retrieve those. Thank you for your patience and we hope to make this as easiest as possible.
Looking forward to beginning our hopefully no strees of providing education on Monday. We have worked really hard putting together student belongings to pass out. We will be having a pick up window between 1pm and 4pm this Sunday for parents to drive through their respective student’s school and pickup belongings. If your child is doing distance learning through packets, they will be with their belongings. All elementary parents will enter through the main entrance and loop through the elementary parking lot. Staff will be available to find your child’s belongings to give to you in the car. Junior high parents will enter through the north entrance and go through the drop off/ pick up loop. We will bring the belongings out to you. Coaches will also be available on the south side of the gym to pick-up any athletic belongings. Doors will be propped open and students may enter one at a time. Please remain in your car until its your turn. Mrs. Huckeby will be outside the north campus bandroom to retrieve any instruments. I ask that not everyone come at once and we stagger our time and that you please be patient. For health purposes will be limited on help. South campus will loop around the parking lot like dismissal and pull to the south gym entrance door to retrieve belongings. You will be able to drop off textbooks and library books at each location the same time you pick up belongings. Please make sure any book covers and loose paper are removed from the books. For safety purposes, we will not have much time to talk. Thank you in advance for your patience as we get belongings to our students. Bless you.

Dear JT Parents,
Justus-Tiawah School will be closed the rest of the week. Our staff has voted to return to school on Monday, April 16th. We have not quit the fight for adequate funding for our classrooms. We are going to send a small delegation each day to lobby at the Capitol. If you would like to go one day, please let me know. We THANK YOU for all your support, kindness, and patience. Our staff has worked tirelessly for our kids. I am proud of the impact the teachers in the state of Oklahoma have made the last 7 days. It will help public education for the next 25 years.
Respectfully,
Mr. G.
No school for Justus-Tiawah on Monday, April 9th. The board has approved to be out all week, but we will make a decision each evening regarding closure the next day. When we are in session, we want to make sure that it will be a safe and productive day for our students. Thank you for your patience and continued support.
Justus-Tiawah School will be closed Friday. Operation Lunchbox is still in effect. Pick up at Eastern Hills Baptist Church from 11:45-1. If you need lunch delivered please call 918-341-3626 by 11:30. Again, THANK YOU for your continued support!

You can pick up lunch at Eastern Hills Baptist Church from 11:45-1. Thank you for your continued support as we wait and hope for passage of funding.
JT Parents,
Just a reminder that there is no school on Monday or Tuesday. We will see if anything new is passed tomorrow, before a decision is made for Wednesday. If your kids need lunches tomorrow or Tuesday, you can pick up at Eastern Hills Baptist Church, which is 1 mile North of the race track. We sincerely hope all proposals are fully funded soon.
Mr. G
