There will be no boys basketball practice this afternoon. I am worried about the safety of the students getting to and from school. Have a good day and stay safe.
Reminder to parents: There is no school on Friday, October 18, 2024; it is a teacher workday. That means that Thursday is the last day of the first quarter. We will be planning parent-teacher conferences very soon.
There will NOT be an early-out tomorrow, October 15, 2024 as originally planned. The district is redoing the early-out schedule. I will post the new early-out dates when I know them. Thanks.
We will have 1:30 P.M. early-outs on the following dates in order to attend district training.
September 16
September 24
October 15
November 19
December 3
Thank you.
We have to change the release time for K-3 to 1:30 P.M. on September 4th and September 5th instead of 12:30 P.M. in order to meet the district requirement for an official school day. Sorry for the confusion.

The State of Alaska and the Bering Strait School District requires that the school keep parents informed of the number of days that their child has missed school. To do this, we will send out "absence letters" when your child has five unexcused absences and 10 unexcused absences. At 15 unexcused absences, the school is required to inform the District Attorney about the truant student. My understanding is that these letters have not been sent out in the past like they should have been, but we will be sending them out this year. Thank you.
Grades K-3 will be released at 12:15 P.M. on September 4th and September 5th so the K-3 teachers can attend a training that is required by the district office. Thank you.
There will be no school for students today, August 22, 2024. We are still working to resolve water and sanitation issues and do not think students should be in the building at this time. Thank you and see you tomorrow morning.
There will be no school for students tomorrow, August 21, 2024 due to the impending storm and the water situation. Certified and classified staff will have an inservice day and should report from 8:30 A.M. - 3:30 P.M. We hope to see you all on Thursday!
Please read the attached letter from Tammy Dodd, BSSD Superintendent, regarding last night's devasting loss in Stebbins.
School will start at 10 a.m. today. Have your Husky report to their 10 a.m. class, and they will then follow their regular schedule. A breakfast snack will be served. The main entrance is closed and will remain locked for today. Use the North Side Entrance to enter and exit the school. Middle School will have closed campus for lunch today again, so they will not be leaving at lunchtime.
At this time we are not releasing students unless a parent is with them. .
The school is open as a shelter due to the power outage in town. Families are welcome to come stay in the gym until power is restored in town. We are experiencing white out conditions so please be extremely careful when coming up to the school
When coming to pick up your child please use the North Doors as the wind is making it difficult to open the south/main doors. Thank you.
Good Morning, Huskies,
We have some inclement weather moving in, so please call in a weather excuse if you need to. We are scheduled to run regular hours today but feel free to pick up your Scholars after 1:30 p.m. if you think that's best. We are monitoring the weather for tomorrow and will post any updates. Middle School will not have open lunch to leave campus today due to the weather! Stay Safe, Huskies, 4 more School Days left!
As we host we the Mangtak Eater's Basketball tournament this week we will have an early out this Thursday at 1:30 pm. There will not be Atuq this Thursday, we will have Atuq on Friday. LET'S GO!!!
This is a reminder that we will be having a Lockdown drill at the school tomorrow. The drill is scheduled to take place at 10:20 am.
We will conduct a lockdown drill on Wednesday, May 1, 2024, at approximately 10:15 AM 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. We will 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.
Regular start time to school today. The front entrance is snowed in, so use the north side doors. We understand that travel may be difficult, or you may need extra time to shovel out entryways and rides. Please call in a weather excuse if you are not able to make it to school. Stay safe Huskies!
Attention: Change of meeting time-We are still holding parent conferences this evening but will close at 7 p.m. to get everyone home early. If you are not able to pick up your Huskie's report card tonight, please come by the school tomorrow to get it.
