Idabel Public Schools

Progress Is Being Made… 🔴⚫️
We’re excited to give our community and supporters a look at the vision for our new weight room!
This renovation is something we’re extremely proud of. We are working hard to build something special for our student-athletes here at Idabel.

This space is going to elevate how we train, how we develop, and the standard we hold every single day.
We are currently on track for completion in July, and we can’t wait to bring this vision to life.
Thank you to our administration and everyone who continues to support Idabel Athletics!
Again, special thank you to Dr. Alan Bryant for sharing our vision our vision for Idabel Athletics and helping us pursue our goals.

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.

Sincerely,

Dr. Alan Bryant, Ed.D.

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Warrior Nation, once again we will not be in school tomorrow. After assessing the roads for the safety of our students and staff we have deemed the roads impassable for our buses. The continued low temperatures are keeping the ice on the roads. In the best interest of student and staff safety, all schools in the Idabel School District will be closed tomorrow, 1-27-2026. There will be no instruction. All after-school activities, sports, and events are cancelled.

We hope alerting you early once again helps ease your minds. Information regarding school and school start times on Wednesday, 1-28-2026 will be shared by 5:00pm tomorrow.

Please continue to stay safe and warm.

Sincerely,

Dr. Alan Bryant, Ed.D.

Wishing you a joyful holiday season and a restful, happy start to the New Year.

We are creating an online version of our Hall of Fame, past State Champions, and All-Staters. Click the link to see what has been uploaded so far.

https://www.idabelps.org/o/district/page/hall-of-fame-all-state

If you have a submission, a picture, or any kind of information that would be helpful to us, please email it to HOF@idabelps.org. Please keep in mind that this is a work in progress and we started from scratch, with nothing.

As of right now the only pictures we will be posting is for the State Champions listing. If you have an All-State picture please send it, but understand it will be awhile before those are posted. Also, the All-State track listings are all State Champions and those will be duplicated over in the coming weeks.

This is for the preservation and history of our school and community and will take all of us to compile this information.

Thank you,

Idabel

Important Graduation Update After much thoughtful discussion, Idabel High School’s Graduation Ceremony has been moved to Thursday evening, May 15th, at 7:30 p.m. on the football field. The weather forecast for Friday evening is not looking favorable. This morning, the high school leadership team and I met to carefully review all available options. Unfortunately, the auditorium does not have enough seating to accommodate everyone, and our students made it very clear that they truly want to graduate outdoors on the football field — a tradition that means so much to them. Because it is not logistically possible to set up for graduation in two places at once, we made the difficult decision to move the ceremony. We absolutely understand that this change may create challenges for some families, and we deeply regret any inconvenience it may cause. However, moving graduation indoors would have meant limiting attendance, and we know how important it is for families to celebrate this milestone together. We felt it was critical to make this decision today so families can adjust travel plans as needed. If you have any questions, please reach out to the high school directly — we are here to help. Thank you for your patience, your flexibility, and your continued support of our students. We can't wait to celebrate the Class of 2025 under the stadium lights on Thursday evening! Please help us spread the word. Updates will also be shared on our website, local radio station, and other platforms. Sincerely, Dr. Alan Bryant, Ed.D.
