Travel/Appointment planning made easier for the second semester!
Anadarko Public Schools would like to inform our families that we will soon be sending home Parent Consent Forms for students to participate in Project Respect through the Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE).
Project Respect includes an Early Identification Screener designed to help our district identify students who may be experiencing challenges related to mental health so we can provide early support and resources when needed.
Here’s what parents need to know:
✔ Grades K–4: Teachers will complete the screener for students on March 13th.
✔ Grades 5–12: Students will receive a screener link through their school email after we return from Spring Break.
✔ Participation is completely voluntary. A signed parent consent form is required.
✔ Parents may review all screener questions in this post or on the district website before making a decision.
We are proud to share that our district received this grant, which is providing a full-time Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) to serve our students and families. This additional support strengthens our commitment to student well-being and academic success.
If you have questions, please contact your child’s school site. Thank you for partnering with us to support the whole child. 💜💛
There will be no school for students, and district offices will be closed for the day. Classes will resume on Tuesday.
We hope everyone enjoys the long weekend with family and friends! 💜💛
This week, Anadarko Public Schools proudly celebrates our amazing school counselors!
Our counselors play a vital role in supporting students’ academic success, social-emotional growth, and future goals. They listen, encourage, advocate, and help guide our students every single day—often behind the scenes, but always with heart.
Thank you to our counselors for the compassion, dedication, and support you give to our students, families, and staff. We appreciate you today and every day!
APS Counselors are Gina Taylor - Sunset, Jessica Barrett - East, Kristi Locke - Mission, Amanda Hrbacek - Middle, Alyssa Young - Middle, Cheryl Myers - AHS, Cody Farr - AHS and Dezerey Mucker - District LPC.

“Just like the coffee bean changes a pot of boiling water into a pot of coffee, each of us has the ability to transform our world.”
"By seeking opportunity in adversity, we build resilience and model perseverance for those around us. Being resilient is a mindset—and one that makes a lasting impact."
We encourage everyone to take a few minutes to look up Damon West and listen to his message. It is truly powerful and uplifting.
