Cross Country Team Travel Interuption
***Cross Country Travel***
We have just learned from the Alaska Marine Highway that the ferry carrying our students from Hoonah has been diverted to Juneau. The vessel is being brought in by tugboat and is expected to arrive in Juneau by mid-morning.
This is the most current information available to us at this time. We understand families’ concern and the need to call Robin Ross and Anthony Ross, but please know we are working diligently to make sure all student needs are being met. They are working hard to respond to each of you.
We will continue to post updates here on Facebook as soon as we receive new information. Thank you for your patience and support.

Good morning KCSD families!
This week, the only afterschool programming will be Library hours for students who need some time to do homework. This is for 6th-12th grade students only., from 3pm-6pm. There is no bus service.
Also a reminder that we will have the color run on Saturday, May 17th at 11 am! Reminders will be sent out later in the week as well, but please plan on joining us for this fun community event!
Good morning! Due to rain, the Color Run is postponed to next Sat. for safety and fun. Sleepover for students still on tonight. Stay tuned for updates!
Good morning everyone!
As we can see, it's VERY rainy today. Since the color for the color run doesn't really work in the rain, we are going to postpone the 5k until next Saturday.
This event has been a major community event for ten years, and we want to make sure that everyone is safe and has fun, and that families and community members can participate too!
We will still have the sleepover for the students in the boys and girls run programs tonight though!!! (If your student is attending, they received that info this week at school)
We will see you all next Saturday and we will keep everyone updated!!!
Hello KCSD families!
We have had some concern about the moose problem with the Color Run tomorrow. We have contacted Fish and Game and they said they didn't have any wildlife troopers available to send to Kake, but they advised us to have people use loudspeakers at our color throwing stations and run in groups, as well as have a car follow the runners.
We already had planned on implementing those ideas to keep our kids safe, and we will have people patrolling the running path.
We do still plan to have the color run, rain or shine, so please come and join us tomorrow at 11 am, starting at the community hall!
**Moose Alert**
We’ve received several reports of an aggressive moose in the area. For student safety, we recommend that students either ride the bus or be picked up by an adult rather than walking home.
