School is open, and we will hold regular school hours today. The snow is high in some areas, so If you need to call in a weather excuse, please do so. If you need extra time to make it up here, we will gladly accept you whenever you can. Husky Strong!
Classes will resume tomorrow, Thursday, January 4. Welcome back to school; let's finish this second half of the year Husky strong. Get a good night's rest. We are excited to see everyone at school tomorrow.
Hi Huskies, classes are canceled tomorrow, Wednesday, 3, 2024, due to a lack of an FAA-certified visibility report for Bering Air and high crosswinds at the airport, not allowing school staff to fly in. If the bad weather persists through the rest of the week, we will implement a contingency plan to have classes on Thursday and Friday if possible. We will keep you posted.
The scheduled Lockdown drill has been completed, and we are back on our regular schedule and operations. Our Huskies and staff did an excellent job with this exercise, and we are incredibly proud of them. Better Together.
Good Morning Huskies, We have regular schedule today but, feel free to call in a weather excuse if needed. Have a terrific Tuesday.
Hard work pays off. This week our focus is on the process of working hard and seeing the results. Keep it up Huskies.
Good Evening Huskies,
I am writing to inform you of an upcoming lockdown drill scheduled for Wednesday, December 13, 2023, at approximately 1:20 PM at our school. Conducting lockdown drills is critical to ensuring our students and staff's safety and preparedness.
In alignment with BSSD safety guidelines, lockdown drills are conducted at least twice a year, once each semester. These drills are essential in preparing our school community for potential emergency situations. This year, we plan to involve local VPOs and VPSOs in our drill, as their participation provides invaluable expertise and realism to the exercise.
During the drill, students and staff will practice the actions to take if an actual lockdown is necessary. The aim is to ensure everyone can quickly and safely find shelter in a secured classroom or evacuate if needed. Examples of situations that might initiate a lockdown include the presence of a dangerous animal within the school, an intruder, a violent individual, a report of a weapon, or an active assailant.
We appreciate your support and understanding as we conduct this lockdown drill. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the school office. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
It was nice to see our Scholars today. School is out for the day, and all Huskies who requested a ride home were shuttled by our maintenance department. Some loose sheet metal is hanging off the roof and flapping in the wind, use extreme caution if you come by the school. Stay Safe Savoonga.
We will have a regular start to the school day. If you have no power and heat you are welcome to come to the school gym. Please do not send children unescorted to the school. Breakfast for students will be served at 8:20 am. Stay safe.
Classes are canceled for today, Thursday, December 7, 2023. Gaetano and I attempted to walk downtown, but the wind made it very difficult, and we don't want our Huskies to try and make it up here in these conditions. A big snow drift on the east side of the school also makes coming up that way impassable for now. Stay safe and stay warm Huskies.
Due to the high wind and low visibility, we will have an 11 am start for school today Huskies. If possible, we ask that a parent or adult escort your child to school today. You will report to your 11 am activity or class period when you show up to school. Be safe, Huskies.
Hey there Huskies, this week our focus is on "Doing the Right Thing". Have a great week.
Good Morning Huskies, we do have regular school hours today, the wind has picked up quiet a bit so we will be using the north door entrance until the wind calms down. This is the door facing the beach. Stay safe.
In observation of our Thanksgiving holiday, we will have a 1:30 pm out tomorrow, Wednesday, November 22, 2023. We will have a 1 pm Atuq celebration in the gym with dismissal at 1:30 pm. Happy Thanksgiving, Huskies!
Good Morning Huskies,
Friendly reminder that we do have classes today. We will have a 1:30 pm out but, there is no 1 pm Atuq due to VB games being played in the gym. See you in a bit! Happy Friday.
Good Evening Huskies. Classes will resume tomorrow, Friday, November 17. It is Friday, so we will have a 1:30 pm out. Our maintenance department has finished removing the sheet metal that was hanging from the gym roof. Big shout out to Clinton, Calvin, Michael, and Colin. See you tomorrow, Huskies.
Volleyball Update.
Savoonga is a GO.
Reminder there are no classes today. We will update the status on the school and gym roof after we assess it today.
Out of an abundance of caution, we will not have classes tomorrow, Thursday, November 16, 2023. Several large pieces of sheet metal have begun to peel off the gym roof and can fly off at any moment. We are asking all community members to stay away from the campus until we can remedy the situation. We will begin repairs when the wind slows down tomorrow. Stay Home and Stay safe, Huskies!
Dear Savoonga Community, please do not come by the school until we reopen tomorrow. Stay off the playground and all surrounding areas of the school. Some sheet metal is coming off the gym roof, which can pose a hazardous situation if it flies off. Our maintenance department is working on a solution. Stay home and be safe.
