The Jr High and High School students had the opportunity to hear from actor, model and Yakutat High School Alum, Martin Sensmeier! Thank you for your message on perseverance, following your dreams and choosing to share our positive energies.

There has been a possible exposure to Scarlet Fever in the school building.

On 9/20 Middle School students enjoyed creating animal cells with jello and candies. Some of our cells fell apart but we had a lot of fun using candy to represent all of the important elements that make an animal cell. Of course, eating it afterward may have been the best part.

JR High Ball is here!

Forgot to get a picture of last week's Ch'ak'yéis'! Outstanding job, Oliver!

On 9/16, Lupe Arreola visited the 2nd/3rd grade classroom to teach the group about Mexican Independence Day and lead an art project in which the kids got to make their own mini-sombreros. You can see that the kids had a lot of fun--muchas gracias, Lupe!

Spotlight on Miss Kim! Gunalcheesh, for teaching our children Tlingit language!

This week our spotlight is on Mrs Hanlon!!

Don't forget to air out your middle school students when the weather is nice! 😅 Middle schoolers enjoyed a field trip on Tuesday collecting specimens from nature. By using what they learned about dichotomous keys, students then divided their finds into what they believed were categories that best described what they found. The goal was to understand what types of questions scientists ask themselves when naming living things that are found.

Each week YSD classified staff will pick one student who exemplifies kindness. They will be selected as the weekly “Ch’ak’yéis” (baby eagle) This week Tayler Storey is being recognized! Nice job Tayler!
