OPS Parents: We are aware of the issue preventing guardians from being able to login to the OPS app if they have students enrolled in both our district and DCPS. Our vendor informed us that they have identified the issue that is preventing the login and are actively working on it this evening to get it resolved. As soon as it is, we will be sure to get that information out to you. There is nothing on our end that we can do to solve the issue, but rest assured, we will stay in contact with the vendor until it is resolved. Thank you for your continued patience and support of Owensboro Public Schools!

Good afternoon Bobcat families!! Now that we have had a few days to get going we wanted to share our morning and afternoon car rider traffic flow picture. All traffic should line up on Jefferson Street, turn right on W. Warwick, and right onto Hawthorne Drive. Please do not enter from from Suffolk Drive or turn left onto Hawthorne from W. Warwick. Also please do not block driveways!! We will get your students to your vehicles in a safe manner as quickly as possible. Once students begin to remember their number our goal is to have all students out of the building around 3:15.
Thank you
Thank you

REMINDER: School is not in session tomorrow, Friday, February 13 or Monday, February 16 for a staff professional development day and Presidents' Day. School will resume on Tuesday, February 17. Have a great long weekend!
Set your alarms! We're back, baby!
School will be in session tomorrow, Monday, Feb 9, 2026 on normal schedule! Walkers and bike riders should use caution as some areas may be slick on sidewalks, but roads have cleared for our buses.
We look forward to having all students and staff back in the morning! Enjoy the Super Bowl tonight and we'll see you in the morning.

Parents,
Unfortunately, the temperature outside has not cooperated enough and several of the roads on our bus routes and sidewalks remain unsafe. In order to have a NTI lifeline in the event of another weather event, tomorrow, Fri. Feb 6, 2026, will be called as a traditional snow day.
In order to not have to add on to the end of the school year, the PD Day scheduled for March 13 will now be a normal school day.
With warmer weather expected over the weekend, we are hopeful that we can return on Monday. A decision will be made by 5 p.m. on Sunday and we will communicate that with you.

Parents,
The snowstorm from the weekend of January 24-25 is one we only see once every couple of years.
As hard as our staff and the City of Owensboro Public Works Department have tried to improve road conditions to allow us to return to school, several of our bus routes still have roads we feel are unsafe to travel with students on board. We also have about 1/3 of our students who walk or bike to school and nearly all sidewalks are unusable for that purpose.
Today's temperature didn't do us any favors as we had hoped to see more melting throughout the day. Our team has been out checking each and every bus route and will continue to do so until we are able to return to school. We're also continuing to work with the City to help clear the final spots we need to be able to return to in-person learning.
Therefore, we will be utilizing NTI Day #9 tomorrow, Thurs. Feb. 5, 2026.
We miss our students and we know our parents want them back in school as much as we do. We appreciate your patience as we navigate the lasting impact of this snowstorm.

Road conditions have drastically improved thanks to the efforts of our City Road Crews, but unfortunately, the situation hasn't improved enough quite yet to be able to return to school. Please know we are doing our best and checking routes multiple times per day to try and make it work, but we want to make sure when we do return it is safe for all our students. Tomorrow, Wed. Feb 4, 2026 will be NTI Day #8 for OPS. We miss our students and we hope to have them back very soon! Stay safe and thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue working to get back to school!
Road conditions are improving, but unfortunately, aren't quite where we need them to be in order to return to school. Thank you to the City of Owensboro for their assistance in attempting to get some secondary roads cleared for us today. There is a small chance for some additional winter weather in the forecast tomorrow, but could potentially just be rain. We're hopeful that with just rain and temperatures staying above freezing we will be able to return very soon, but we will keep you informed as conditions improve. Tomorrow, Tuesday, February 3, 2026 will be NTI Day #7 for OPS. We greatly appreciate your patience as we eagerly await the return of our students!
