Students in Nowata will be using distance learning today due to water issues in the city.

 Nowata city officials informed the Nowata School District yesterday that the town will be without water for a portion of the day today. As a result, the school district has opted to make the day a distance learning day. Students will need to check their online classrooms to view their assignments.

As of yesterday evening, all extracurricular activities are scheduled to continue, but coaches will be in contact with the students if the situation changes.
