🐻 A NOTE ABOUT SCHOOL MEALS – JAMES C. ISABELL SCHOOL
Dear Families and Community Members,
James C. Isabell School participates in the federally funded National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. These programs help ensure our students have access to nutritious meals that support their learning, growth, and overall well-being.
To continue participating in these programs, our school must follow USDA meal-pattern and nutritional requirements, including serving the planned portions for each age and grade group.
At this time, we are unable to provide second servings. This is necessary to ensure our meal program remains compliant with federal guidelines and financially sustainable. This decision comes from the Bering Strait School District (BSSD) Food Service Department and is not a decision made by our local kitchen staff.
We understand that students may sometimes want a little more, and we appreciate everyone's patience and understanding. Our goal is to continue providing healthy, nutritious meals while protecting the federal support that helps feed our students.
Thank you for supporting our students, staff, and school community!

Thank you to our students and staff for continuing to make our Spooktacular Carnival 2026 a great experience. It's always wonderful to see our school community come together, make memories, and enjoy these special events!

🌟 Aklaq Spotlight 🌟
The Aklaq Spotlight is on Agnes Okbaok! 🐻
Agnes is a sophomore who stays busy both inside and outside the classroom. She competes in volleyball, basketball, and NYO while consistently submitting quality academic work in all her classes. Beyond academics and athletics, Agnes is an incredibly talented artist who creates beautiful Native artwork, including jewelry, dresses, and other traditional pieces.
Agnes demonstrates the Iñupiaq value of Spirituality (Ukpiqqutiqaġniq / Kaŋiqsimauraałiq Irrutchikun) through her dedication to traditional arts, cultural practices, and the meaningful work she creates. She takes pride in her talents and helps keep cultural traditions alive through her creativity.
Agnes always has a smile on her face and knows how to bring a little appropriate silliness and laughter to those around her. She is a wonderful example of an Aklaq who balances academics, athletics, creativity, and culture.
Agnes, you should be proud of yourself! We are Aklaq proud of you! Great job, Agnes! Keep shining! 🌟🐻
