Chouteau-Mazie Public Schools - Home of the Wildcats

Let's Celebrate! Chouteau Elementary made it to Fall Break with 0 COVID positive cases in staff and students! We are so thankful for your continued support in checking your child before sending them to school. We are thankful that as of today we are at 0%. Enjoy your Fall Break!

Parents, Your support has led to a MAJOR success! This last Monday and Tuesday because you stayed in your cars during the car line, the car line was complete by 3:05 on Monday and 3:02 on Tuesday! That is 10 minutes for the car line on Monday and 7 minutes on Tuesday. You are doing an AMAZING JOB! Thank you!

Parents/Guardians, Please fill out the following Chouteau-Mazie Public Schools Title 1 Program Survey. https://forms.gle/grv4kEXmF8HrgQ61A

Dear Parents of 11th Graders Chouteau High School is communicating with parents of students who will be juniors during the 2020-21 school year. Our school district plans to administer the ACT® test in spring 2021 to eligible juniors as part of the state contract with the Oklahoma State Department of Education and ACT. Last year over 95% of Oklahoma schools selected to administer the ACT. Our district believes this is an excellent opportunity for all eligible juniors to take the ACT at no cost to them or their families. Additional information on why we chose the ACT can be found at: 8 Reasons to Choose the ACT Test Should you have any questions/comments, please reply to Chouteau High School Counselor, Kathy McCollough, kmccollough@chouteauwildcats.com. Sincerely, Lori Helton, Superintendent

A message from the Superintendent

September 4, 2020 Dear Chouteau-Mazie Families: I am reaching out to share with you that we were notified that one of our high school students has tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. Anyone who is known to have been in direct contact is being contacted personally by school officials, and will pivot to distance learning, and monitor for symptoms. If you have not been contacted, your student has not been identified as known direct contact. According to federal law(s) we are not at liberty to share the name of the students in order to protect their privacy. Tonight’s non- district football game has been cancelled, and Coach Compton is trying to reschedule a game for zero week. It is imperative that we all continue to work together to ensure our community members remain safe and healthy. Please know that Chouteau-Mazie will continue to monitor the situation and will provide additional information as we receive it. Sincerely, Lori Helton Superintendent Chouteau-Mazie Public Schools

The Class of 2020 Graduation will be held Friday June 19, 2020 at 8:00 p.m. at the Chouteau High School Football Field. IN the event of rain, it will be moved to the Memorial Gym. We respectfully request that the number of guests be limited to up to 10 guests per graduate in order to safely social distance. We will utilize the stands for family seating marking off every other row. We will continue to follow the protocols set forth for entry into school facilities, and request that any family members who are experiencing fever, cough, and other symptoms of COVID-19, or have any known exposure to the virus to enjoy the ceremony via the live stream. Live stream information will be located either tomorrow or Friday morning. Be looking on our High School Facebook page. We know that this has not been the ideal situation for families, graduates, or the school, however, we are making every effort to make this graduation ceremony memorable for the Class of 2020.
