Welcome to Warrior Nation!
We are thrilled to announce that Brandi Gross will be joining us as the new Principal of Idabel Primary South Elementary!
Brandi has spent more than 15 years dedicating herself to education, working as an Alternative Education and Special Education teacher. She knows what it takes to reach kids who learn differently, and she knows how to walk alongside families who need extra support and understanding along the way.
She earned her bachelor's degrees in English Literature and Psychology from Oklahoma State University, and went on to get her Master's in Educational Leadership from Southern Nazarene University. She's put in the work, and our students at Primary South are going to be the ones who benefit from it.
Brandi and her husband, Don, are proud parents of seven children and grandparents to eight grandchildren — a family built on a deep commitment to raising and supporting the next generation.
We are so thankful Brandi felt called to join our Warrior family, and we can't wait to see the way she invests in our students, staff, and community.
We'd love for our community to stop by and meet Brandi in person — come welcome her to Primary South and see the exciting things ahead!
Welcome to the family, Mrs. Gross — we're glad you're here!

Idabel Public Schools 25-26 Calendar Update
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Over the past two days, the number of sick students at Primary South Elementary has continued to increase. Due to this rise, Primary South will transition to virtual instruction on Wednesday and Thursday of this week in an effort to mitigate the spread of illness.
Our goal is to allow time for these illnesses to subside so that students can return to school healthier next week. This temporary move is intended to help slow the spread and support the well-being of both students and staff.
Thank you for your flexibility and continued support as we work to keep our school community safe and healthy.
Again, the transition to virtual days is for Primary South students only. ALL OTHER SCHOOL sites will continue face-to-face instruction as usual.
If your Primary South student is not at school you need to contact their teacher to pick up their learning packets. Please do this immediately.

Dear Parents/Guardians,
Hello everyone. Due to the ongoing road conditions that were caused by the snow and ice storm this past weekend, we have made the difficult decision to close school for the remainder of the week. We want to make sure that our students, staff, faculty, and families are safe. After a lot of discussion we feel this is the best option. School will reopen on Monday, February 2nd. We look forward to seeing everyone back in school then.
Please continue to stay safe and warm.
