If you walk dogs around our school buildings, thank you for cleaning up after them. Recently we have had some dog messes left on the football field and playground. We want to keep our facilities safe and clean for students and community members to use. Thank you for helping us keep our grounds clean.
It's National Read a Book Day, so we celebrated by reading lots of books--like we do every day!
Great day for JH CC runners at the Liberal meet. Kace has placed 3rd, and Jazmin placed 10th. Lots of PRs!
Thank you to Southern Star for donating to our school supply campaign!
Satanta Varsity and Satanta JV1 both placed 3rd at the Satanta Invitational Volleyball Tournament! Great job, ladies!
This afternoon at 3:17, the 3rd grade class returned from recess to a smoky classroom. Within two minutes of the fire alarm going off, the entire building was evacuated–pretty amazing for the first full day of school! The smoke was caused by a problem with the HVAC unit. Our maintenance crew, the Haskell County Fire Department, and H & I Home Comfort have all inspected the unit and believe students are safe to return to the building tomorrow.
Thank you to Officer Tiffany, Clay and Ed, the sheriff’s department, the fire department, and EMS for their quick response. Thank you to parents for helping us get kids where they belonged calmly and efficiently. Our teachers and staff did a great job keeping kids calm and safe, and our kids were rock stars. I’m just so impressed with the way everyone responded when we haven’t even had a fire drill yet this year.
We will be back in school on Friday. If your kiddos are anxious about returning to school, please give teachers a heads up so we can give them a little more care tomorrow.
We never want to have an emergency situation at school, but it's reassuring to know that our students, teachers, staff, parents, and emergency responders all know what to do.
We are hiring a special education para for Satanta Jr. Sr. High School. Pay starts at $13 per hour.
