Good evening, Sivuqaq! 🌊
What an awesome first two days of school! 🎊 Students came in smiling, happy to see old friends, and already making new ones. We are so excited for the year ahead and grateful to share it with this community. 💙
Here’s a look at next week’s schedule:
Monday, Sept. 1 – 🎆 Labor Day Holiday – No School
Tuesday, Sept. 2 – 🏫 School Day with an Early Out at 1:30pm
Wednesday, Sept. 3 – 📝 Teacher Inservice – No School for Students
Thursday & Friday, Sept. 4–5 – Back to our regular schedule ✅
Enjoy the long weekend, be ready for Tuesday’s early dismissal, and then students will have a mid-week break while teachers are in training.
Thank you all for your support! We’re looking forward to an incredible school year together! 🚀✨

Good afternoon, Sivuqaq! 🐻‍❄️🐋🦭
Tomorrow’s the BIG DAY — the first day of school! 🎉📚
We’ll start bright and early with breakfast at 8:20am, followed by an all-student assembly in the gym at 9:00am. It will be a wonderful time to gather together, celebrate the start of a new year, and send our students off with encouragement and joy. ✨
Parents and guardians: if you have not yet enrolled your child, please bring them tomorrow morning! We will be accepting enrollment packets in the school office (and we’ll have extra packets ready if you still need to fill one out). Every student is welcome, and we are excited to see each one of them.
Let’s come together as a community to make tomorrow a strong and joyful start for our students. 🐻‍❄️🐋🦭❄️
We can’t wait to see you all in the morning!

Dear Sivuqaq Families and Friends, We’re excited to invite you to join us this Friday, May 16 at 1:00 PM for our end-of-year Atuq ceremony and celebration at Gambell Schools! 🎓💃 This year’s celebration will be especially meaningful—a film crew from Giant Screen Films will be here to capture the beauty and joy of our traditions. 🎥✨ They are working on a documentary, supported by the National Science Foundation, that will share Indigenous knowledge and celebrate Yupik culture, music, and art. 🧊🎶🎨 The project has land use agreements with Sivuqaq, Inc. and Kukulget, Inc., and filming plans have been developed in partnership with local advisors and producers, including Wallace Ungwiluk and Chris Koonooka. We would love for you to be part of this special moment. Come celebrate with us, dance with us, and close out the school year as one strong community. 🫶🏽🌊 Let’s show the world the strength, pride, and beauty of Sivuqaq! 🐋💙
