We invite you to join us for a debrief session alongside your student to review the recent "bomb threat" and evacuation at all Southeast Island Schools today.
Date: September 20, 2023
Time: Start of School

This debrief session is an essential opportunity for us to talk about the evacuation procedure and address any questions or concerns you or your student may have.

Good afternoon, SISD Staff and Families,
We are pleased to inform you that after a thorough investigation and necessary precautions, we have determined that it is safe for all students and staff to return to school on Wednesday, September 20, 2023.
Today, multiple school districts across Alaska, including the Southeast Island School District, received a bomb threat via email.
This email has been reported to local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies.
We chose to evacuate all of our schools as a precautionary measure, and we want to assure you that the safety and well-being of our students and school community are our top priorities. At this time, the threat is broad in nature and lacks specific information.
We understand that you may have concerns or questions regarding the situation. Rest assured, we have taken every necessary step to ensure that all safety protocols have been enforced.
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding during this process. Your support has been invaluable in allowing us to prioritize the safety of our students and school community.
If you have any specific concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to contact the principal of your school (Nate Freeman for Thorne Bay School and Shaine Nixon for all other schools) or me. We are here to address any questions or concerns you may have.
We look forward to welcoming all students and staff back to SISD on Wednesday, September 20th. Together, we will continue to create a safe and nurturing environment for learning and growth.
Thank you for your continued trust and support.
Warm regards,
Rod Morrison
Superintendent

You are invited to provide input into Southeast Island School District's new strategic plan!
Southeast Island School District is working on developing a new strategic plan. Developing a Strategic Plan is vital for moving the District forward -- the plan becomes the map for the board and staff to follow. It is vitally important that the plan is developed by a diverse representation of our community.
This survey is being administered by the Association of Alaska School Board's Board Development team on behalf of our District and takes about 10 minutes to complete.
Your responses to this survey will remain anonymous and individual responses will be combined when presented to the Board of Education and the team that is being pulled together to work on the Strategic Plan. Please note: any responses that contain names of individuals and / or foul language will be deleted.
Thank you for taking the time to provide your input on our strategic plan. This survey will remain open through September 27.
Here is the direct link to the survey: https://forms.gle/UAm 8RS pbxhV 86
