A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for a large area of Oklahoma, including Pauls Valley. A final decision regarding the status of school tomorrow will be made this evening. Our district wants to provide enough notice to all our parents and staff while balancing the ability to obtain the most recent forecast information. Once a decision is made, information will be shared on our website, Facebook, and the Pauls Valley Schools App.
Due to the uncertainty of winter weather forecasts and out of an abundance of caution, Pauls Valley Schools will have online learning tomorrow, Thursday, January 9th. Safety is always the top priority, and we are exercising caution for all our students and staff.
Each class will handle this a little differently - some assignments were sent home on paper, and others on Google Classroom - but don’t worry, we will ensure plenty of time for fun in the snow should the weather cooperate.
If you have not already downloaded the Pauls Valley School App, we recommend downloading it now. Teachers will be available through school email or Rooms. We will continue to monitor the weather and provide updates on any future closings through our website, social media, and the Pauls Valley Schools App.
Stay safe and stay warm!
In salute and gratitude to the more than 2,500 Oklahoma school board members, January 2025 is designated School Board Recognition Month. School Board Recognition Month honors the efforts of thousands of men and women who help to shape the direction of Oklahoma public education and their collective focus on student achievement. School board members voluntarily tackle the enormous job of governing school districts while preserving the core of our democratic values.
Pauls Valley Public Schools would like to recognize our current school board members and thank them for their service to our school, students, staff, and community. Thank you for all that you do!

Go Panthers!
We look forward to welcoming all of our Panthers back to school tomorrow, Monday, January 6th.
Cold weather and wind chills are forecasted for the next few days. The National Weather Service has provided the graphic below regarding dressing for cold weather. Wearing layers is important to stay warm while outdoors, but it also helps provide comfort by allowing for the removal of layers in warm school buildings.
HAPPY CHRISTMAS BREAK!
We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school on Monday, January 6th! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
All district sites are currently being affected by the AT&T outage. We are without phones and internet at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Due to widespread illness, PVJH will have online learning tomorrow - Friday, December 13th.
During the school day, teachers will be available by email, Rooms, or Google Classroom, and students can access the school building for any materials they may need.

SPRING CALENDAR CHANGE
We have adjusted the school calendar for the spring semester. Parent-teacher conferences will occur on Monday, March 10th, from 3:15-7:00, and Tuesday, March 11th, from 3:15-5:30. Parent-teacher conference day off will be observed on Friday, March 14th, instead of April 11th.
The day off on Friday, April 4th, was moved to the originally scheduled day off for parent-teacher conferences on April 11th.
This move was made to better accommodate the timing of parent-teacher conferences. We want to provide as much notice as possible regarding this change.
Sylogist will be down for updates from November 27th through December 2nd at 6 am. Guardians will be unable to check grades or pay lunch bills online during this time. We apologize for this inconvenience. Please check our school's website for the updated link to log back into Sylogist on December 2nd.
Just a friendly reminder that Pauls Valley Public Schools will dismiss early tomorrow, Friday, November 22nd.

The Donald W. Reynolds Recreation Center's after-school program will begin at 3 p.m. on Friday. Due to early dismissal, this program will NOT have a bus route on Friday. If your student usually rides the bus to the Rec Center after school, please contact their school site to make alternative arrangements.
Due to the lengthy drive for Friday's state quarter-final football playoff game at Lincoln Christian and to account for the complications of Tulsa rush hour traffic, Pauls Valley Schools will release students early on Friday. Buses will begin their routes at Pauls Valley Elementary at 12:45 PM, and the Intermediate, Junior High and High School will dismiss at 1:00 PM.
Thank you for your understanding, and good luck to the Panthers on Friday night!
Out of an abundance of caution due to the forecast of potential for damaging winds and tornadoes during our commute times, Pauls Valley Schools will be delaying the start of school until 10:00 a.m. tomorrow, Monday, November 18th. Student safety is our top priority, and we want to avoid putting students on buses or student drivers in dangerous situations that can be avoided.
Buses will run two hours late. We will continue to monitor weather conditions in the morning to determine if any additional adjustments to bus route schedules may be necessary. Any changes will be sent out as soon as possible.
Please stay weather-aware!
Pauls Valley Intermediate and Pauls Valley High School are experiencing a power outage. This will also impact their phone systems. The outage has been reported, and we will provide updates when we have information on an estimated restoration time.
Power has been restored to all sites. After the power initially came back on, we experienced a short intermittent outage, but it seems to be working well now.
In collaboration with the National Weather Service and the administrations of Purcell and Pauls Valley, our football game has been rescheduled for tomorrow (Thursday, November 7) at 7:00 PM at Purcell. This change was made due to the increasing likelihood of severe weather on Friday evening that would affect the safety of our students and fans and the timing of the event. Our goal is to provide the best possible circumstances for all individuals involved in the event.
We hope you can join us in cheering on the Panthers as they play for a playoff spot tomorrow night in Purcell.
Our staff is monitoring all weather info for PV. We are in contact with Garvin County Emergency Management, & the safety of our students/staff is our priority. We cannot check students out once we are in a warning that requires them to take shelter. We will NOT dismiss for lunch or the end of the day if it is unsafe.
