Dear Kake Community,
Effective immediately, the Junior High basketball season is cancelled for both the boys and girls teams. This decision was not made lightly. After reviewing ongoing academic and behavioral concerns, the boys’ coach and district administration agreed that the program cannot continue at this time. While the girls’ coach was unavailable for comment, the expectations for all student-athletes remain the same across our district, and we must ensure those standards are upheld.
In recent days, it has become clear that our academic and behavior expectations were not consistently met during team travel and regular school days. Participation in athletics is a privilege that depends on students meeting classroom responsibilities, representing our school with integrity, and demonstrating conduct aligned with district values. At this time, we cannot in good conscience continue the season without addressing these concerns directly.
We understand this decision may be disappointing for many students and families. Our priority is ensuring that academics come first and that student-athletes meet the expectations that allow our programs to thrive. In the coming weeks, we will be reviewing our policies, reinforcing expectations with students, and planning supports to help them refocus academically and behaviorally.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support of our students. We are committed to rebuilding a program that reflects the pride and standards of Kake City School District.

At Kake City School District, the safety and well-being of our students is always a top priority. To help ensure that everyone knows what to do in an emergency, we practice monthly fire drills and will be holding our first lockdown drill tomorrow, Thursday, September 25th.
We want families to know that our goal is to give students confidence and a sense of preparedness. Teachers will guide the process in a calm, supportive way so that students understand this is just a practice, much like a fire drill.
Thank you for partnering with us as we work together to keep our school a safe and welcoming place for all students.
