Pauls Valley Junior High

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!

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.
