We ask that everyone take the time to talk to our children about the dangers of thin ice around the lagoon in Utqiaġvik, as well as all bodies of water in the villages across the North Slope. Please remind children about he uncertainty of the thickness of the ice along with the danger in playing near the edge of the ice and what might happen if the ice breaks. Your help in reminding children about these dangers at this time of year is greatly appreciated!
Reports of cases of mumps, chickenpox, and measles have been made throughout Alaska. These are highly contagious diseases. Posters for prevention are being put at all of the schools. Information and the flyers can be accessed through this Public Service Announcement.
School days bring congestion on the roads and near schools: Yellow school buses are picking up their charges, kids on bikes are hurrying to get to school before the bell rings, hurried parents are trying to drop their kids off before work. It is never more important for drivers to slow down and pay attention than when kids are present - especially before and after school.
The North Slope Borough School District is seeking individuals who are interested in becoming School Bus Drivers in Utqiaġvik.
