Attention 7–12 Grade Parents:
Okeene Public Schools will be transitioning from PowerSchool to Sylogist Information Systems for the upcoming school year. As part of this change, we must ensure that every student is correctly linked to their parent/guardian in the new system.

To make this process easy, we will have a help station available at the school where parents can come complete the setup.

On Friday, 1st grade recognized Rare Disease Day with a very special guest reader. Laikley’s mom and little sister joined the class to read and teach her classmates about MCADD, a rare metabolic disorder that Laikley lives with every day. They helped them understand what MCADD is, why awareness matters, and how being kind and informed makes a big difference.
1st grade loved learning from them, asking thoughtful questions, and celebrating Laikley—our brave rare warrior! Thank you to this amazing family for sharing their story and helping us spread awareness, understanding, and compassion. 💜🦓
Elementary students... this one’s for YOU! ☀️Beginning Monday, March 2nd, shorts will be allowed for the remainder of the school year!
All-Conference Players are those who scored the most points and answered the most questions throughout the season — a true testament to both knowledge and quick thinking. We are incredibly proud to share that Bridger Hursh represented Okeene as an All-Conference Player and was also named one of just five Conference All-Stars, recognizing him as a top five competitor across both the North and West conferences.
In team awards, Cimarron earned 1st place in the North region with Timberlake taking 2nd, while in the West region Vici claimed 1st and Mooreland placed 2nd.
What an incredible accomplishment for Bridger, Coach Wray and for Okeene! Their hard work, dedication, and academic excellence continue to make our community proud. Congratulations to Bridger, Coach Wray and the entire Okeene Academic Team!
