Bulldog Families,

We are approaching winter break and moving further into the winter season, which may or may not bring inclement weather! Our district prioritizes student and staff safety when monitoring winter weather. The decision to close school or transition to a virtual learning day is a multi-faceted process that involves monitoring weather forecasts, assessing local conditions, and coordinating with local authorities. Please read our Decision-Making Process!

We hope all of our students and staff have a great week leading into winter break!

🎉 Huge shoutout to Skiatook Daylight Donuts 🎉 Thank you for being a sponsor of our 12 Days of Christmas for our staff! Your generosity and support mean so much to us. ❤️🍩 We appreciate you! 🙌✨

Zoology class finished up their Cnidarian unit with a jellyfish dissection! Students were up close and personal with moon jellies studying their external features.

🎄 A huge thank you to Cindy Jolley! 🎄
We want to give a big shoutout to Cindy Jolley for being a generous sponsor for our 12 Days of Christmas celebration for staff! 🍪 Mrs. Prock showed off her cookie-decorating skills and won a Starbucks gift card, and ❄️ Mrs. Monk took home a QT gift card for winning our snowflake contest! Cindy also provided notepads for all of our staff, and we are so grateful for her kindness and support. Thank you, Cindy, for spreading Christmas cheer at SHS! ❤️✨

📣 FAFSA Night at Skiatook High School! Do you need help completing your FAFSA or applying for Oklahoma’s Promise? Our Gear UP team will be on campus this Wednesday from 4:30–6:30 PM to assist students and families. The deadline for current high school seniors to apply for Oklahoma's Promise is December 31, 2025.

🎁 SHS Bulldog Angel Tree 🎁
Our Angel Tree is full of Bulldogs who could use a little extra love this holiday season. We still have many angels waiting to be adopted! If you’d like to make a difference, feel free to stop by the high school and pick up an angel. Thank you for helping us spread kindness and joy this Christmas! ❤️

When you can’t beat the cold… you join it! ❄️🍦
Our students made homemade ice cream today — the perfect (and tastiest!) way to learn how to follow a recipe.
They quickly learned that if you don’t follow each step exactly, you might end up with a mini “combustion” and some pretty questionable ice cream on your hands! 😂

Congratulations to our November Students of the Month!
Freshmen: Carson Banks and Lillian Goodner
Sophomores: George Richins and Jordan Tracy
Juniors: Trey Vaughn and Caitlin Donaho
Seniors: Jake Tracy (not pictured) and Melany Gaytan

Our Advanced Sewing students have been hard at work bringing holiday joy to a local kindergarten class!
