Heavener Public Schools

Today we want to give a big shoutout to our incredible paraprofessionals and district aides! 💜💛

From providing direct support in the classroom, to keeping our libraries running smoothly, to assisting with PE, EL programs, office support, and supporting students with unique needs—you are the heart behind so much of what makes our schools successful.

Your dedication, flexibility, and care for our students do not go unnoticed. Thank you for everything you do each and every day to support Heavener Public Schools! 🐺

Juniors and Parents of Juniors. Tomorrow (April 1) our Juniors will take the ACT at school as part of the Oklahoma State Testing Program. Everyone is ready and Mrs. Harrell has been working tirelessly to make sure everything goes off as planned. Students please arrive on time, and if you do not plan on eating breakfast at school grab something at home. This is a very important part of our school report card and we want to be ready to do the best we can. Good Luck!!! #AlphaWolves, #BeGreat #WolfMeat

Good luck HHS band today at the. OSSAA concert band competition #alphanotes

Important Update from Heavener School: Transition to Virtual Learning

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Due to a city-wide water outage affecting our facilities, Heavener School will be transitioning to virtual learning for today, March 25th, 2026.

The safety and comfort of our students are our top priorities, and the lack of water access prevents us from holding classes on campus. Please ensure your student logs into their respective platforms for further instructions from their teachers. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates regarding tomorrow’s schedule as soon as possible.

Thank you for your flexibility and understanding.

Sincerely,

Heavener School Administration

📚✨ Building Strong Readers Starts Early! ✨📚

We are so excited that each of our PreK & Kindergarten students received a copy of Into the Tub! 🛁💙

This special book is more than just a story—it’s a modeling tool to help families support reading at home. Using strategies from Silver Ink Publishing, families can bring storytime to life with:

👀 Picture Talk – Explore and discuss the illustrations
🔔 Chime Time – Listen for repeated sounds or words
🔁 Tell It Again – Retell the story together

These simple, fun strategies help build language, comprehension, and a lifelong love of reading! 📖💫

Thank you for partnering with us to grow strong readers—one story at a time! 🐺💙 #AlphaLeaders #ReadingAtHome #EarlyLiteracy

Mrs. Luman's 8th grade students recently completed an Open Mind Project as part of their novel study of Notes from the Midnight Driver. In this activity, students stepped into the mind of a character, using quotes and evidence from the text to illustrate the character’s thoughts, emotions, motivations, and conflicts throughout the story.

We are so proud of the creativity and insight our students showed in their work! These projects reflect thoughtful reading, strong connections to the text, and a great deal of effort. Great job, Wolves! 🐺📚

BPA is heading home with TWO medalists!
They stepped onto the big stage and we could not be more proud!

And truly, our entire group represented Heavener so well. The professionalism, sportsmanship, and character they showed all week made us incredibly proud.

Another incredible moment, Jenna was invited to tryout to sing the National Anthem for this year’s National Leadership Conference as well as the talent show! We will keep you posted!!

The future is bright and we are excited for what is ahead.
