🌟 Shishmaref Shines Bright! 🌟
We are proud to share that Shishmaref School won the Alaska State Red Ribbon Campaign with this year’s theme:
“Life Is a Puzzle — Solve It Drug Free.”
Our students competed in October 2025, joining schools across Alaska in promoting healthy, drug-free choices. Classrooms participated by designing meaningful door decorations that reflected student voice, creativity, and a united commitment to making positive, healthy decisions.
Due to weather and travel availability, the state representatives were unable to travel to Shishmaref immediately following the competition. However, this month we were finally able to celebrate together as two military representatives traveled to our community to formally present the award in person. We were also honored with a congratulatory video message from the Alaska Department of Health Commissioner.
It was a powerful and proud moment for our students to be recognized for their leadership and creativity.
This recognition belongs to our entire community — our students, staff, families, and supporters who continue to uplift one another. Together, we are raising leaders who shine bright like the Northern Lights and choose a healthy future.
We are incredibly proud of our school and the message our students are sending across the state.

Due to current weather conditions, parents/guardians may begin picking up students now. All students will need to be picked up or safely brought home by 2:00 PM.
If you are unable to come yourself, please arrange a safe ride for your student. If transportation is still a challenge, an older sibling or trusted family member may pick up your child.
For safety reasons, we do not want any students walking home alone in these conditions.
Please call the school if you have any questions or need assistance making arrangements. Thank you for helping us keep our students safe. 💚

SHH Community,
We are monitoring the weather conditions closely. Student safety is always our top priority.

Good Morning Shishmaref Community,
We are asking for your help and your voice.
Our School Climate & Connectedness Survey is open, and the feedback we receive from families and community members truly matters. The information gathered from this survey is not just something we collect — it directly impacts our school and our students.
Here’s why it’s so important:
• It helps us understand our current school climate and guides us in setting yearly goals and improvement plans.
• It provides valuable data for our MTSS team as we review supports for students and staff.
• Each site’s data is used in the evaluation of several federal grants that support our programs.
• We also use these results when writing new grant applications to bring additional resources and opportunities to our school.
Your honest feedback helps us grow. It helps us celebrate what’s working and identify where we can do better. We want Shishmaref School to continue to be a place where students feel safe, supported, and connected — and that only happens when we listen to our community.
Please take a few minutes to complete the survey and help us strengthen our school together.
