Archery Nationals - Sandy Utah.
Travel begins on April 24 until May 1st.
Last year during STREAM week, we had the pleasure of having a course by Dug Jensens' Survival School. We are exited to announce we were able to have another opportunity this month for a small number of students.
SISD’s Prom Committee is excited to invite all Prince of Wales High School Students to Prom this year in Naukati. Anyone who would like to attend that is not an Southeast Island School District student must:
Guests must be either enrolled in high school or have graduated within the last year.
A guest form must be filled out at least 5 days prior Prom (5/11/24) stating that the guest agrees to follow the rules at the Dance. The SISD Administration must approve all guests.
Individuals, other than students currently enrolled at SISD, who have been convicted of misdemeanors related to drug or alcohol, and/or alcohol possession or consumption will not be permitted to attend.
An official school chaperone must attend with guests (1 chaperone per 5 guests). Meaning a chaperone must be on one of the POW School Districts approved Chaperones list.

Spring Break this week!
SISD's Spring Break is next week.
SISD Stakeholders... It is time for our ASC's to vote on the proposed Calendars for next School year 2024-2025. There are two options. Each ASC will hold a vote that will be submitted to the School Board prior to the next Board meeting where they will then vote on.
The calendar committee took into account many different views and opinions. It was our goal to draft a calendar that would serve our students and staff to the best of our abilities.
We recommend Calendar A for the following reasons:
1- It allows for a full week off in the fall and the spring.
2- It allows for a full 2 week break in winter while allowing travel time before and after the Christmas & New Year Holidays.
3- It allows for the Friday before a holiday weekend to be a non-work day for teachers.
4- It staggers Friday's needs for Inservice, workdays and non-working days.
5- It aligns SISD spring break with other POW districts, which shortens the span between winter and spring break, as well as supports Elementary and Middle school sports schedules.
*Calendar B has many of the same qualities, but the start and end dates are the biggest differences.
Thank you for your careful consideration of these two calendars as we look ahead to next year.
URGENT Action Needed This Weekend!
Hello everyone,
As I'm sure you are well aware, the Governor vetoed SB 140 last night. The legislature has till Monday to override the veto and 40 votes are needed. Right now, we for sure have 38 votes. We need 2 more and are looking at the legislators that may be on the fence about an override.
I'm sure most of you are on spring break or are heading there today, but please take a moment to call or email Senator Bert Stedman to ask him to override the Governor's veto. It is absolutely essential that he hears from you. The message is simple.
Thank him for voting for the bill.
Let him know why this bill is so important for your school and ask him to please override the veto.
If you feel more comfortable using a script, click on this link. You can start with the template and personalize as needed. A phone call is even better and Lisa Parady's team at ACSA is putting together a phone script that will be available later today.
Thank you and have a great weekend!

SISD Student Eligibility for Activities.
Athletics, sports, and travel are all important to our students, parents, and the district as a whole; however, we need to remember that it is also our due diligence to ensure that we are educating our students to the best of their abilities and challenging them daily, academically. Moving forward, we will be monitoring eligibility, and one way to ensure that students are on track in the classroom is by having them complete this form before they can participate and travel.
Red Tide Wrestlers are headed to Ketchikan this weekend. Good luck! & Stay safe!
