FYI: Due to the current Search and Rescue (SAR) going on in Wales, there will be no afterschool activies (i.e., open gym, sports) until further notice. I will let you know when these activities can resume.
Welcome to a new school year. I am very excited to continue as your principal for another school year. We have started our year off to a great start. The image attached is inviting people from the community to run for a position with the Advisory Education Committee. This committee is made up of community members who want to be involved in the education of the wonderful students who live in this great village. If you are interested in applying, please stop by the office during school hours to complete an affidavit of candidacy. Thanks again from your principal, Dr. Dawn Hendrickson.

Good Morning,
I wanted to thank you all for entrusting your child(ren) to us to educate and prepare them to become lifelong learners. Brian Herbert once stated that, “The capacity to learn is a gift; the ability to learn is a skill; the willingness to learn is a choice.” Our hope is that the students will continue to have motivation and willingness to learn.

BSSD School Reopening Family Letter for the 2021-2022 School Year: https://5il.co/y2ha
On Monday, May 10, 2021, the FDA approved the authorization of the Pfizer Vaccine for students aged 12-15, now allowing all individuals 12 and up to receive the COVID-19 Vaccine if they wish. The CDC formally approved the Pfizer Vaccine for 12 and up today as expected. This will begin to move us further towards our school reopening efforts for next year, as well as allow more communities to reach that 80% mark for further reopening of our region. Teams from NSHC will be put together Thursday, May 13 and be ready to begin administering shots on Friday, May 14, 2021. As stated before, I have approved teams from NSHC to come into the schools and provide shots as necessary. Attached are links to the Pfizer Vaccination Consent Form for parents and the EUA referenced on the form. If you would like for your child to receive the vaccination at the school, please complete this form and return it to your school office by Friday, May 14, 2021. The Bering Strait School District highly recommends all eligible students and community members get the vaccine to assist in our efforts of keeping all our students, staff, and communities safe.
