There has been some confusion in terms of our school reporting active cases of Covid that Tribal Health released on Friday. The only time we will release information concerning Covid is when we have cases that have a direct impact on school personnel and/or students that we have received from Lake County Health or Tribal Health . At this point we have had one case of Covid that was documented and information released by Tribal Health. This one case did NOT pose any threat to students or staff since the student and siblings had not been in the school for at least 6 days prior to testing. Therefore, there was no need to report or announce any information about this case. Moving forward, we will only announce Covid information if it has a direct possibility that staff and/or students have been potentially exposed to Covid. Tribal Health or Lake County will notify you personally if a student or staff member needs to be quarantined for potential exposure or any specific information individuals may need to know. At this point there has been ZERO cases of Covid that could have posed the potential for exposure to any student or staff member here at school. If there was a potential for exposure all staff and/or students will be notified.

Bulldogs and Blackhawks unite for missing and murdered Indigenous Women- Go Bulldogs and Blackhawks 👍

Parade at 1:30 today- We have checked into smoke indicators and have determined that we will be playing the Football Game tonight at 7pm with honor guard presentation at 6:30pm. Behind the shop and by the bus shed was just paved so no one will be parking in that area. We will open the gate where we normally take tickets for handicap and ambulance entrance as well as parking. The gate table will still be in that same spot just further up the hill. Parking will be tight tonight so if you want the back gate on the practice field may be the best place to park this evening. A big park of the parking lot is being paved so please do not drive on those sections. GO BULLDOGS!!!

Meal Pick-up today 10-12:00 Parade 1:30 -👍

Hi-line Asphalt getting it done with the help of Jeff Smyth! 👍
