Students will be expected to fill out a health checklist each day and according to the district, if a student says yes to any of the questions, they will have to stay home for the day.

Students attending in-person classes will have to wear a mask that covers both their mouth and nose, according to TPS policy, and they will not be allowed on a bus or in the school building without it. District officials said that all students attending in-person classes will be assigned a "pod," a small group of kids that they will work with. Students will also be allowed mask breaks throughout the day.

According to TPS officials, they will be keeping a close eye on COVID-19 trends in the district, especially as cases continue to rise in Tulsa County.
