Last night was the third fight at open gym in the last nine days. Once again, for the safety of everyone, I am shutting down open gym. It will reopen on January 5, 2026. In addition to the fighting/safety issues, there has been damage done in several areas around the school and the school has been trashed and left uncleaned nearly every night since Christmas break started. This is unacceptable to me as the principal, and should be unacceptable to the community who use the facility for various special events and daily open gym. The New Year Event being run by the city in the gym will still happen.
The students emulate the poor behavior that they see from adults, so I cannot let the fighting, damage, and drug use be the "normal" that they witness when they come into the school. There are so many good people in this town, so I know we can do better.
Good luck in the 2025 ASAA/First National Bank Alaska Wrestling Championships!

Itโs that time of year again! Weโre checking in to see how our school leaders (our Principals) are doing and where we can improve. We really want BSSD to be a place where everyone feels supported, and we canโt do that without hearing from you.
Completing the survey should only take a few minutes. Here is a short guide on how to complete the survey.
๐ข Staff: Please take the survey twice. Once from your perspective as a staff member and again as a parent/community member.
๐ข Parents: Your insights are highly appreciated! Please take a few moments to share your thoughts through a separate survey focusing on your parental perspective.
๐ข Students: Your voice matters! You'll have the opportunity to express your opinions by participating in the survey at school.
This is completely anonymous. We want your honest thoughts, so please feel free to be open with us. Click here to complete the survey. The survey will be open until January 9, 2026.
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!

Tonight (Thursday, November, 20th) at the school from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m.
Stay Safe Huskies!

1. The weather has potential to be very poor and dangerous with high winds and blowing snow.
2. Many items that we ordered for the carnival did not arrive on time, so we hope giving it one more week will give them time to get to Savoonga.
The status of school tomorrow is still uncertain. I will post if we are having school or not by 7:00 A.M. tomorrow morning.
๐"๐ "A huge congratulations to all the wrestlers and cheerleading participants for their incredible commitment and hard work this season. A special acknowledgment goes to our winnersโyour dedication truly shone through!" ๐"๐"
