Sequoyah High School Logo

Updated 5/2/21   Check in for physicals will be in the old gym lobby.

Click here for OSSAA Physical Forms    The forms are meant to be printed front and back. Hard copies of the form are also available at the front desk.

Sequoyah High School will provide free physicals for the 2021-2022 school year to all current students and all prospective students who have turned in an application, Tuesday, May 4, after school. This will be the only physical arranged by SHS. Physicals done before May 1 can only be used through June 30. After that, students must have a new physical completed May 1, 2021, or later to participate in any sports and band.

The medical history portion of the OSSAA physical form (at the link above) must be completely filled out and the parent/guardian and the student must sign it before the student will be permitted to see the doctor for the physical. Masks will be required for all in attendance. 

To help with distancing, we will have students report in 3 groups, each group at a different time, and only the student will be permitted beyond the check in location. Each group will be seen in 2 stages. First, students will have vitals checked by nurses. Then they will see a doctor. We normally finish with all physicals by 7:00.

Group 1    4:00     Current SHS Freshmen and Sophomores

We will begin sending current 9th and 10th graders to nurses at approximately 4:00. Those who are attending in person that day may stay at school while waiting for physicals to begin. We will begin sending students to doctors at approximately 5:15.

Group 2    5:30    Current SHS Juniors check in beginning at 5:30.

Group 3    6:00    New applicants for 2021-2022 (current 8th graders and new upperclassmen applicants) check in beginning at 6:00.

I am excited to share with you that families with children receiving free or reduced school meals from participating school districts may qualify for free food this summer.

The Cherokee Nation Summer Nutrition Program is now accepting applications for the Summer EBT for Children program.  As discussed earlier this year, I am attaching the link for you to help share with your families to start applying.  The goal is to have cards out to family’s in early May, depending on the timeline of when the households apply online with data.  Please share the link on your districts webpage, twitter, Facebook, text messages and any other outreach that your district has in place.

To apply, they will click link.

This federally funded program is available to anyone; you do not have to be American Indian to qualify. Qualifying families will receive approximately $30 of free food per child per month for May, June and July. Benefits are on an EBT card (works like a debit card) that allows you to purchase healthy food for the summer.

Participation in this program will have no impact on other government assistance that you and your child receive.

Information provided by you on the data spreadsheet or any records obtained for this program will be kept confidential as required by law and will be used only for this project.

Once approved, Summer EBT cards will be mailed to the address provided along with a list of participating stores and a food card (shopping list) that will help you identify approved food items.

Families with questions can call Cherokee Nation SEBTC at (539) 243-3265 or (800) 256-0671 ext. 5589 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday with questions.

Thank you for working with Cherokee Nation WIC and partnering with us to reach out to our area families to supplement nutritious foods for the summer months.

Mrs. Cloud

At Sequoyah, we have made every effort to allow for school safety and safe extra-curricular activities.  We have been testing students weekly and found several students that were positive, but asymptomatic which has helped reduce the COVID spread among our communities. 

We continually make decisions that are in the best interest for everyone at Sequoyah, as well as our Cherokee communities. Those decisions are based on science, facts and compassion.

Because we have a surge in COVID cases at this time, we have notified OSSAA that Sequoyah will not participate in season basketball.

We have worked tirelessly to allow student athletes to socially interact through practice, but do not feel it is safe for our students to play other students, gathered in large crowds.

Our hospital and clinics are strained. We have implemented our “surge plan” due to the ICU beds being full. 

While students may not be as harshly impacted by the virus, the families and communities they go home to, are. 

Students or families with concern can reach out to our superintendent, Mr. Corey Bunch at 918-453-5000.  Mr. Crittenden and Mrs. Cloud will be in the office Monday-Wednesday (7:45 am-3:45 pm) to assist families with any needs.
