Today's Red Ribbon Week focus is on an important and potentially lifesaving topic—fentanyl awareness.
Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that can be deadly, even in very small amounts. Counterfeit pills and other illegal drugs may contain fentanyl without the person taking them knowing it.
🏠 Today's Family Connection: We're sharing a Fentanyl Fact Sheet to help families better understand the dangers of fentanyl and encourage important conversations with their children and teens. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xYxz21fCWykMaq5E_B7MRX6BN0BPsRpU/view
❤️ Did you know? Oklahoma's Rain's Law emphasizes fentanyl awareness and prevention education in our schools, helping equip students with the knowledge they need to recognize risks and make informed decisions.
🐺 At Heavener Public Schools, we believe education and awareness are powerful tools in prevention. We encourage all families to review today's fact sheet together, ask questions, and keep the conversation going at home.
One conversation could save a life. ❤️

Talking with your teen about drugs, peer pressure, and healthy choices doesn't have to be difficult or uncomfortable. Sometimes, the best conversations happen during everyday moments—on the drive home, around the dinner table, or while spending time together.
🏠 Today's Family Connection: We're sharing conversation tips and starter ideas to help parents and caregivers open the door to meaningful discussions with their teens.
💬 Remember, it's not about having one big conversation. It's about creating opportunities for ongoing, honest communication where your teen feels comfortable asking questions, sharing concerns, and knowing they can turn to you for support.
🐺 Check out today's flyer and try starting a conversation at home!

❤️ Red Ribbon Week: Family Connections! ❤️
Keeping the conversation going is one of the most important ways families can help students make healthy, drug-free choices!
Today's Red Ribbon Week resource highlights 5 Conversation Goals to help parents and caregivers have meaningful, age-appropriate discussions with their children about drugs, peer pressure, and making positive decisions.
🧠 Did you know? Teen substance use and mental health challenges are often connected. Some teens may turn to substances to cope with stress, anxiety, or depression, while substance use itself can contribute to mental health challenges.
📖 Learn more about this important connection with resources from the CDC:

🐺 Remember, you don't have to have all the answers! What matters most is keeping the lines of communication open, listening without judgment, and reminding your child that they always have someone in their corner.
❤️ Check out today's 5 Conversation Goals flyer and take a few minutes to connect with your student! Small conversations today can make a big difference tomorrow.

As we kick off Fall Break today, we want to take a moment to wish our superintendent, Mr. Wilson, a very Happy Boss's Day!
At Heavener Public Schools, we often talk about the many hats our staff members wear, and our superintendent is certainly no exception!
From overseeing construction projects and managing budgets to keeping our buildings running smoothly, solving problems, and fielding the occasional complaint, Mr. Wilson's job is never quite the same from one day to the next!
But even with a full plate, you'll still find him in the stands cheering on our Wolves, supporting school activities, and finding ways to give back to our staff and community. Sometimes that even means trading his superintendent hat for a chef's hat! 🌭👨🍳 Just this past Tuesday, he was behind the grill cooking hot dogs for everyone at our District Literacy Night!
Leadership isn't just about the decisions made behind a desk. It's about showing up, pitching in, and being part of the pack.
Thank you, Mr. Wilson, for all the hats you wear and everything you do for Heavener Public Schools! We appreciate you and hope you enjoy your Boss's Day off! And thanks for giving the rest of us the day off, too! 😉🍂

At Heavener Public Schools, our principals do so much more than lead their buildings—they wear multiple hats to help keep our entire district moving forward!
Today, we want to recognize four incredible leaders who go above and beyond for our students, staff, and school community every single day!
⭐ Keli Cartwright – Elementary Principal & District Special Education Director
⭐ Jeremy Dyer – Mid-Level Principal & District Transportation Director
⭐ Janie Hairrell – High School Assistant Principal & District English Learner (EL) Director
⭐ Brian Terry – High School Principal & District Athletic Director
From supporting students and teachers to overseeing programs and operations across the district, these leaders balance countless responsibilities while keeping student success at the heart of what they do.
Leadership in a small school district often means wearing more than one hat, and we are grateful to have a team willing to step up, take on challenges, and do whatever it takes to make a difference!
Please join us in thanking these four members of our Wolf Pack for their dedication, hard work, and commitment to Heavener Public Schools! 👏🐺
