Elementary NYO Club starts tomorrow! Permission slips should have gone home with Elementary students in grades 1-5 before Spring Break. Students MUST have a signed permission slip turned into the office in order to participate. Transportation is also not available, so if your child plans to attend, please make sure they have a way home at 4:15 pm.

Recharge & Reset: The Spring Break Mental Health Challenge
Spring break is for more than just sleeping in—it’s the perfect time to prioritize you. We are excited to announce our Spring Break Mental Health Challenge for all students in grades 7–12!

How It Works
Before you head out for break, grab a challenge sheet from the front office or download it from the school portal. The sheet is packed with small, impactful activities designed to help you de-stress, unplug, and boost your mood.

What’s at Stake?
We aren’t just looking for participation; we’re looking for champions of self-care.

The Prizes: Students who return their sheets with the most items checked off will be entered to win exclusive prize bundles.

The Recognition: Top participants will receive the Spring Mental Health Award to honor their commitment to wellness.

The Goal: To enter the final stretch of the school year feeling refreshed, focused, and resilient.

Ready to take the challenge? Turn in your completed sheets to the social work office by the Friday after we return. Let’s make mental health a priority!

It's NYO time!

Practice will officially start after Spring Break, but I've had several kids ask about practice time during Spring Break. I will open the gym Monday, March 9th - Friday, March 13th from 12-1 pm. After Spring Break, practice will be Monday-Thursday from 4-5:15 pm and Friday's practice time will be determined. NYO is for grades 6-12.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Paulie at 907-469-0729. We're looking forward to another fun & quick season!

Thursday, March 5th will be an early release for students! Students will be dismissed at 2:30 pm!

There will be a teacher inservice on Friday, March 6th, and Spring Break is March 9th - 13th! We will see all students back on Monday, March 16th!

Happy March! Here is the 1st of our monthly newsletters!

Help us celebrate Dr. Suess week with a fun filled spirit week! Your child also should have gone home with a permission slip for our literacy event. We must have a signed permission slip turned in for your child to participate!

Our school would like to extend a sincere thank you to everyone who helped make our Regional Basketball Tournament a tremendous success. Hosting an event of this size takes planning, teamwork, and a great deal of community support. We are proud of the way our community supports not only our own students, but student-athletes from surrounding school districts as well. Thank you to our School Board for your continued support and commitment to our programs. We appreciate the leadership of our Athletic Director and Principal, and we are proud of our students for the way they represented our school. We also want to recognize our cooks, maintenance staff, and custodial team for their hard work behind the scenes. Thank you to our table crew, referees, and game operations team for ensuring the tournament ran smoothly. We are grateful to our local radio station for helping share the excitement with the broader community. A special thank you to those who supported the hospitality room and made our guests feel welcome, and to the Naknek Native Tribal Council for your continued partnership and support of our students and school. To the visiting teams and coaches, and to everyone who came out to cheer and support the tournament — thank you. If we have missed anyone in this message, please know that your efforts and support are truly appreciated. It takes everyone working together to host a successful Regional Tournament, and we are thankful for all who played a part.

Final Bracket

Join us for an After School Activity on Tuesday, March 3 in the Culinary Room from 3:30-4:30 pm. Our community Coordinators Seanna Huffman and Diana Therchik will be helping our students make fry bread and fish spread.
