Reminder: There will be school on Saturday, April 19, 2025 to make up for one of the days that we shut down for Hand/Foot/Mouth disease. School will begin at the normal time and end at 1:30 P.M.
Kindergarten Registration is Coming Soon.
School will be closed April 3 and April 4 so that our custodial staff can do a deep clean of the school and so students can avoid contact with those infected/contagious with hand, foot, and mouth disease.
During this shutdown, there will be no open gym or other activities inside the school to allow for thorough cleaning. We recommend disinfecting your houses as well so that when school opens on Monday, kids are not carrying the virus back into the building.
If your child is symptomatic (visible sores or blisters or a high temperature) on Monday, PLEASE do not send them to school until they are asymptomatic. Have a great mini-vacation!
Registration for 'Meals to You' program is now open! Register by scanning the QR code. Sign-ups are available from April 1st to April 30th.
I wanted the community to be aware that the phones at the school are not functioning. When people call, and we answer, we cannot hear anything. We are looking into getting them working again.
Please keep your children at home if they are showing signs of hand/foot/mouth disease. The symptoms of the illness are sores inside the child's mouth or blisters on their hands and feet, as well as a high fever. This is very contagious and passed on through physical contact, coughing, or sneezing. A child can also get it more than once. Thank you for helping keep our school and students safe.
The school administration and staff send our condolences to the family of Nora Kogassagoon. With the permission of the family, we will still have open gym tonight.
Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held this Friday, March 28, from 1:45 P.M. - 4:00 P.M. If you are unable to attend during those hours, please contact your child's teacher(s) to schedule a meeting before or after school. We look forward to seeing everyone in the building on Friday afternoon.
There will be no school today due to snow and high winds. I am concerned about the safety of students getting to and from school. Stay safe, Savoonga.

Your input through a quick survey of our Building Administrators (Principals) at BSSD is crucial as we constantly work towards improvements. Your feedback on their leadership is immensely valuable to us. Ensuring that we're serving everyone to the best of our abilities is our priority.
📢 If you're a staff member, we kindly request you to complete one survey from your staff perspective and another from your viewpoint as a parent/community member.
📢 Parents, your insights are highly appreciated! Please take a few moments to share your thoughts through a separate survey focusing on your parental perspective.
📢 Students, your voice matters! You'll have the opportunity to express your opinions by participating in the survey at school.
If you need assistance accessing the survey, don't hesitate to contact a school administrator at your site. Your perspectives play a significant role in our plans for improvement. Thank you for taking the time to provide your valuable insights!

Due to basketball regionals, we will have early outs on February 26, 27, and 28. The release time for students will be 2:00 P.M. Thank you.
The school administration and teachers send our condolences to the family of Bernice Rookok. With the family's permission, we will have open gym tonight.
There will be no open gym tonight. The floor is very wet from multiple leaks in the roof. I cannot send anyone up there to fix the leak until the wind stops and it is safe.
RSV is spreading through the school. For adults and older children, it is usually not serious; for infants and younger children, it can be a very serious illness. If your child is symptomatic, please keep him/her home and take them to the clinic. Here is a link about the symptoms, causes, and treatment of RSV, from Cedar-Sinai medical center.

We will have a 1:30 out today due to weather. If you need to pick up your students prior to that, they will be excused. Stay safe.
Congratulations to all the participants and winners of the BSSD Academic Decathlon and best of luck to all participants of the 2025 State Academic Decathlon!

Your child will bring home an "opt out" form for the presentation on Erin and Brie's Law tomorrow and Wednesday. These sessions are required for schools by Alaska state law. The presentations will cover topics such as sexual safety and safe relationships. If you want your child to participate, there is nothing you need to do. If you DO NOT want your child to participate, please sign and return the "opt out" form tomorrow before noon. Thanks.
Good morning, Savoonga. School will start at 10:30 A.M. this morning to give our maintenance crew enough time to move the snow drifts so everyone can get to the building, and in the building, safely. I will message again around 9:00 A.M. and let you know which door to use. Have a great day.
