A HUGE THANK YOU to these staff members and volunteers. Your hard work made it possible for classes to resume tomorrow. We are so grateful! ❄️

The basketball games tomorrow night, January 27th, against Dover have been postponed. We will update when a new date is determined.

Okeene Public Schools will start at 9:00 AM tomorrow, January 27th to give custodians time to salt and busses more time to run their routes. There will be no breakfast served. There will also be no Gym Rats.

There will be no school tomorrow, January 26th. Stay safe and warm, Whippets! ❄️

Please don't let your students leave their Chromebook in the car in this bitter cold—they have LCD screens and the extreme cold will make them non-functional. Remember, if you're cold, so is your Chromebook-bring them in! 🥶 💻 ❄️
