At Purcell Public Schools, we believe that active civic engagement is essential to building a strong community. Voting is one of our most fundamental rights and privileges as citizens—and a powerful way to model civic responsibility for our Dragons! 🐉
We encourage all our parents, family members, and community members to make a plan and exercise their right to vote on November 3rd. Your voice matters!

⛈️ ANOTHER STEP FORWARD IN CAMPUS SAFETY!
Purcell Public Schools is excited to announce the upcoming activation of the Perry Weather monitoring system at Conger Field!
This new technology adds another layer of protection for our students and staff by providing:
Lightning Alerts: An automated siren alerts those outdoors when lightning is detected within a 10-mile radius.
Heat Safety Monitoring: Real-time heat index and Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) readings help staff make informed decisions about outdoor activities.
Severe Weather Tracking: Real-time weather data and localized forecasting help us prepare for changing weather conditions.
The siren will operate during school hours and school-sponsored events. After hours, the siren will be disengaged, while the warning strobe light will remain operational.
At Purcell Public Schools, the safety of our students and staff is always a priority. We are proud to continue investing in tools and resources that help keep our Dragon family safe!
The system will be tested in the next few weeks. We will send out an alert to the community on social media when that test takes place.
Please see our full news release for more information.
🐉 Once a Dragon, Always a Dragon!

This week, we are standing together for Red Ribbon & Fentanyl Awareness Week (October 23–31) to promote healthy, drug-free choices and share critical facts that save lives.
What you need to know:
- Red Ribbon Week: A national commitment to living a healthy, drug-free life and guiding our youth toward safe choices.
- Fentanyl Awareness: Fentanyl is often hidden in fake, counterfeit pills. As little as 2 mg can be lethal.
Talk to the young people in your life, learn the facts, and help us protect our students and our community.

Loading and unloading the school bus is one of the most critical parts of the day. Here are a few simple tips for a safe arrival and departure:
- Be at the bus stop five minutes early.
- Stand at least 10 feet away from the curb.
- Wait for the bus to come to a complete stop and the driver to open the door before approaching.
- Always use the handrails when boarding and exiting.
- Cross the street only after the driver signals it is safe.
