Good afternoon, Grady count has seen a large spike in Covid 19 cases. The Oklahoma State Department of Health moved Grady County from yellow to Orange Level 2. It is imperative that we take all the precautions we can. Masks, neck gaiters, or face shields are required at school. WE STRONGLY URGE EVERYONE THAT ATTENDS A SCHOOL EVENT TO WEAR A MASK WHEN YOU CANNOT SOCIAL DISTANCE. IF WE ARE MOVED TO RED, VIRTUAL EDUCATION FOR ALL AND A TEMPORARY CLOSURE TO ALL ACTIVITIES SUCH AS FOOTBALL IS POSSIBLE. We are hopeful our numbers stay manageable in Minco. We are doing our part at school. Do your part and wear a FACE COVERING AND/OR SOCIAL DISTANCE at all school related events. ​Thank you, Kevin Sims Superintendent
