🔴⚫ Enhanced Safety at Thompson Field ⚫🔴
Beginning Tuesday night with our home Junior High Football game against Lone Grove, Pauls Valley Schools will begin utilizing our new CEIA OPENGATE weapons detection system at Thompson Field. We will also use this system at other large district events moving forward.
Our goal is simple: provide an additional layer of safety for our students, staff, families, and visitors while keeping entry into our events as convenient as possible.
OPENGATE allows attendees to walk through a quick, contactless screening process. In most cases, fans can leave personal items in their pockets and purses rather than stopping to empty everything before being screened.
IMPORTANT CHANGES FOR SPECTATORS:
🚪 All spectators must enter Thompson Field through the NORTHWEST ENTRY GATE.
🏟️ All spectators will sit in the HOME-SIDE BLEACHERS.
⛔ The visitor-side bleachers will be closed, and spectators will not be permitted on the visitor side.
⏰ Please arrive early. All spectators will enter through one location and complete the new screening process, so please allow a few additional minutes to enter the stadium.
🎒 You generally will not need to empty your pockets or purse. Simply follow the directions of staff members as you enter.
❤️ Please be patient with us. This will be a new process for our staff and community, and we will continue working to make it as smooth and efficient as possible.
We know that no single safety measure can do everything. This is another tool and procedure we are putting in place to help provide a safe and enjoyable environment for our students and everyone attending events at Thompson Field.
Thank you to our Panther families, visiting fans, and community for your cooperation and support as we implement these changes.
We look forward to seeing everyone Tuesday night at Thompson Field!

We will begin doing our annual back-to-school drills this morning. In some instances, we will be practicing responses with our local police department and fire department. Please do not be alarmed to see our police officers or firefighters at our sites.
🍔 FRIDAY LUNCH MENU CHANGE! 🍔
Due to the limited availability of Sloppy Joe seasoning, we’re making a small change to Friday’s lunch menu.
We’ll be serving Taco Burgers instead of Sloppy Joe’s! 🌮🍔
Thank you for your understanding, and we hope our Panthers enjoy lunch! ❤️🖤
A Community That Shows Up ❤️🖤
A HUGE thank you to the Wynnewood Fire Department, and especially Pauls Valley Fire Chief Scott Woods and Lieutenant Steven Wilkerson, for stepping in to help with our track project!
Our construction crew has been working hard to prepare the base for the new asphalt, including packing and rolling the track. With the extremely dry conditions we’ve been experiencing, getting the base properly compacted was proving to be a real challenge.
Chief Woods and Lt. Wilkerson came out to the stadium, saw the situation, and helped arrange for water to be brought in so the crew could continue making progress. That water made a tremendous difference in the process and allowed the work to move forward.
This is about more than just putting water on a track. It’s about communities working together. It’s about people seeing a need and being willing to help. It’s about the strong relationships that exist between our communities and municipalities throughout Garvin County.
We are incredibly thankful for the leadership of our city officials and for the willingness of our neighbors to lend a helping hand when it matters.
To the Wynnewood Fire Department, Chief Woods, Lt. Wilkerson, and everyone who helped make this happen — thank you!
This is what community looks like. And we are proud to be a part of it. ❤️🖤

No meal application. No cost to families. All students are included.
We hope this makes the start of the school year a little easier for our families—and helps ensure every Panther has the fuel they need to learn, grow, and have a great day at school.
📚 School starts tomorrow!

🚨 SCHOOL STARTS TOMORROW! 🚨
We’re ready to welcome our Panthers back to Pauls Valley Schools tomorrow, Thursday, August 13th! ❤️🖤🐾
As families prepare for the first morning of the 2026–2027 school year, please review the start times for each school in the graphic.
For our Elementary and Intermediate families, doors open and breakfast begins at 7:30 a.m. Recess begins at 7:45 a.m., but if your student arrives at that time, they will still have the opportunity to eat breakfast.
⏰ Students will not be counted tardy until classes begin.
🍎 And don’t forget—ALL student meals are FREE for ALL students this school year! We want every Panther to have the opportunity to start the day with a good meal and be ready to learn.
We know the first morning (and plenty of mornings after that) may not go exactly according to plan. That’s okay. Get here safely, and we’ll be ready to welcome your student.
New year. New opportunities. Fresh starts.
We can’t wait to see our students tomorrow. Let’s make 2026–2027 a great year!
We believe in you. GO PANTHERS! ❤️🖤🐾

📢 Important Bell Schedule Update for the 2026-2027 School Year ⏰
As we prepare to welcome our students back for another great year, Pauls Valley Public Schools wants to share our official school start and dismissal times for the 2026-2027 school year.
Beginning this school year, our district will be implementing updated school schedules to comply with new Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE) requirements established through Oklahoma Senate Bill 1481. This law requires school districts to provide at least 40 minutes of daily recess for students in Kindergarten through 5th grade.
To meet this new state requirement while preserving valuable instructional time and maintaining efficient transportation routes, adjustments to our school day were necessary. As we developed these new schedules, we worked hard to make changes that would have the least possible impact on our students and families while continuing to provide a high-quality educational experience.
We understand that changes to daily routines can require some planning, so we wanted to share this information well in advance to help everyone prepare for the upcoming school year.
📅 Please review the graphic below for your child's campus-specific start and dismissal times.
Thank you for your continued partnership, patience, and flexibility. We appreciate the incredible support of our Panther families and can't wait to welcome everyone back in August for another outstanding year!
