Good morning Koyuk families. I want to inform you that the landline to cell phone or cell phone to landline is still down due to the GCI problem. We apologize for the inconvenience. If your child is absent and you are not able to reach the school, please send a note with them when they return so their absence is marked correctly. Thank you.

Koyuk Malimiut School is seeking leaders to teach sessions at our inupiaq Days scheduled the week of April 21, 2025 through April 24, 2025. We would love to offer a variety of sessions and are open to suggestions. We welcome Filipino cultural sessions as well! BSSD has an honorarium program to pay leaders up to $500. Contact Sherry Hardin or Melissa Dewey if you have any questions or to sign up to lead one or more sessions. Thank you.
