Good Morning Sivuqaq! As a valued member of our community, you are invited to join a School and Community Leadership team which will focus on our students’ learning. We believe that working together as a community is the strongest way to improve our students’ education. Our team of families, tribal leaders, and school staff will meet monthly during the school year to build and implement an actionable plan focused on meeting the unique needs of our students. Through our planning and collaborative work, we will realize a stronger school and community partnership resulting in improved student success. Please let us know by Monday, Sept. 16, 2024 if you can participate.
