If you are in need of s safe warm place to stay tonight while the power is out, you are welcome here. Please be advised that we will need to close the shelter status at 7:30AM so that we can have school as normally scheduled.

Dear Shishmaref Community: This is a friendly reminder about our Cell Phone policy at school due to a recent increase in student phone use on campus. Phones must be placed in student lockers or in our grade level buckets at the start of school or as soon as a student arrives at school. It is recommended that phones be left at home to avoid temptation. Phones are not allowed in the MPR, Cafeteria, Hallways, Bathrooms, or Classrooms unless otherwise specified by a teacher for an academic purpose. Students may NOT keep their phones in their pocket or on their person. If a student has had their phone confiscated, they will not be able to participate in Rec, and the parent or guardian will need to come to school to pick it up as per Board Policy. Thank you for your support in keeping our school phone free, we appreciate all of your efforts!

Community Welcome! CPR class available.

Shishmaref is hosting Gambell and Savoonga for volleyball games on Friday and Saturday. The first game will be at 6:00PM on Friday. As our season of hosting events is about to begin there are a few friendly reminders that we would like to make. The Gym list will be in place for our hosted events on both Friday and Saturday. A helpful reminder from our parents and community members to our students about arriving at school on time and to remain in school all day could go a long way! Our assembly will begin at 8:50AM on Friday to recognize our athletes and hope that all of our students will be there to show their support. Another reminder is that no children under 10 years old will be admitted to the events without a parent or guardian to supervise them. Any students running or rough-housing in common spaces during the event may be asked to leave. We hope to see you at the games! The times of additional games will be posted on our website as they become available.

We will be holding a meeting here at school in the MPR about Title 1. Title 1 is a fund source to help students enrich their education. Any interested community members are invited to join us, learn about the Title 1 fund, and to also provide feedback on ways that it can be used to support our young learners. Wednesday October 15, at 5:30 PM in the school Multi-Purpose Room (MPR)
