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.

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.
There will be no open gym tonight. Pieces of the gym roof are flapping around and may come loose, which is causing a dangerous situation for anyone near the school. Please avoid the school area if possible until the storm is over and our maintenance team can secure the metal roofing. Thank you.
We have lifted the lockdown. Thank you.
We have been notified that there is a polar bear at the graveyard. We are in a modified lockdown until it is dead. No one leaves or enters the school until further notice. Thank you.
