North Slope BoroughView organization ›FALL FREEZE-UP & ICE SAFETY As temperatures continue to drop across the North Slope, residents are reminded to use extreme caution around newly forming ice, particularly on lagoons, ponds, rivers, and coastal areas. During freeze-up, ice conditions can change quickly. Ice that appears solid may be thin, unstable, or unsafe for travel. Residents are reminded to: • Avoid walking, playing, or traveling on newly formed ice unless conditions have been confirmed safe. • Use extreme caution when traveling by ATV, four-wheeler, snowmachine, or other equipment near lagoons, rivers, and coastal areas. • Never assume ice is safe simply because it appears frozen or others have recently traveled on it. • Be especially cautious near moving water, shorelines, and areas where ice may be thinner. • Parents and guardians are encouraged to talk with children and young people about the dangers of fall freeze-up and thin ice. Freeze-up can create hazardous conditions quickly as ice forms unevenly across the region. Please stay alert, use caution, and look out for one another as winter conditions begin to set in.Public Service Announcement - Ice Safety2 shares

North Slope Borough·KaktovikView organization ›PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT Kaktovik Water Pumping and Lagoon Discharge Begins September 12, 2026 KAKTOVIK, Alaska – The North Slope Borough will begin pumping water from Kaktovik’s water system at 9 a.m. Sunday, September 13. Approximately 1.5 million to 3 million gallons of water containing low levels of ethylene glycol will be discharged to the Kaktovik Lagoon near the Wastewater Treatment Plant. This will create space in the community’s water storage tanks so they can be refilled with new potable water. The discharge has been reviewed and authorized by the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Division of Water, DEC Division of Spill Response and Preparedness (SPAR), and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G). Due to the tidal nature of the lagoon, regulators determined that the one-time discharge will not adversely affect aquatic life. However, the North Slope Borough will monitor the area during and after the discharge for any signs of impacts to aquatic life. What Residents Need to Know • Pumping will begin at 9 a.m. Sunday, September 13 and is expected to continue for approximately 36 hours, with completion anticipated between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. Monday, September 14. • The Do Not Drink notice remains in effect. Piped water must not be used for drinking during or after this work until the community is notified otherwise. • The remaining water in the system will continue to provide fire protection for the community. • The remaining pumping season is expected to provide enough time to restore water reserves needed for winter storage. • Public Works is also preparing a winter water-haul contingency plan in case winter conditions arrive early. • The road to the airport and landfill may have limited access during the pumping operation. Emergency Medical Services and emergency access to the runway will not be interrupted. Commercial access to the airport will resume Monday, September 14. The Borough and its partners will continue to provide additional information to the community as the operation progresses.

NSB Health DepartmentView organization ›Quyanaqpak Jennifer and Amelia for being our guest speakers. We are proud of all our guest speakers from Avaiyak, Lorene, and Sam! We appreciate all our sponsors and volunteers for making this possible. 💜🏀 thank you Kalolaine Aina & North Slope Borough Health & Social Services for giving me the opportunity to be a part of the Hoops 4 Hope 3x3 tournament. Being in Barrow and talking to the kids truly meant the world to me. Connecting with the community there definitely made me miss home, but it also made me look back at my own journey. I used to be just like them, a little kid dreaming big and praying for times like this, and now I’m blessed to actually be living it. I hope I was able to encourage them and remind them that they can accomplish anything they put their mind to. I’m so grateful to give back to the community and be a part of this. Thank you again for including me & hopefully see u next time 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼Recap: Hoops 4 Hope 3x3 Tournament2

North Slope Borough School DistrictView organization ›Today, NSBSD staff celebrated Superintendent David Vadiveloo’s last day by “dressing like David”. As David completes his time as Superintendent, we want to express our sincere appreciation for his years of service and dedication to the children and families of the North Slope. Throughout his time with NSBSD, David has worked to keep students at the heart of the District’s work while supporting our schools, staff, families, and communities.

Iḷisaġvik CollegeView organization ›Throwback Thursday: Honoring a Trailblazer in North Slope Education https://tuzzy.veridiansoftware.com/?a=d&d=TT19900402.2.36&srpos=3&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN-patsy+aamodt------ Tundra Times, Volume 27, 2 April 1990 Decades ago, Patsy Aamodt made history as the first Iñupiaq superintendent on the North Slope, and one of only two Alaska Native superintendents in the state at the time, when she was appointed to lead the North Slope Borough School District (NSBSD), following Dr. Shirley Holloway’s retirement. Even then, her priority was clear: integrating local culture into the curriculum through culturally relevant materials and local resources in the classroom, a commitment that remains at the heart of the NSBSD’s mission to raise students who are empowered, culturally rooted, bilingual, healthy, critical, creative, and lifelong learners today. That same lifelong dedication to our students and community is exactly why we were honored to welcome Patsy as our 2025 commencement speaker. In her address, she reminded our graduates and listening audience: “You have to learn about our history. You have to learn why our leaders worked so hard and never gave up.” Watch her full address here: youtube.com/live/dyQsWwXNNQM?si=kkcMnYZt9cnbOziW Quyanaqpak, Patsy, for a legacy that continues to shape education on the North Slope. #TundraTimes #Patsyaamodt #ilisagvikcollege #30thanniversary #NSlegacyThrowback: Honoring a Trailblazer in North Slope Education https://tuzzy.veridiansoftwa…576 shares
North Slope Borough School DistrictView organization ›Exciting things are happening at the Qatqiññiaġvik Learning Center! Our Fall CTE Intensive is officially underway! From September 14 through October 1, students from across the North Slope are coming together at Qatqiññiaġvik Learning Center to learn new skills, explore careers, gain hands-on experience, and build friendships with students from other communities. Students are participating in Construction Trades I–II through the Tiny Home Project, Small Engines, and Photo, Video & Music Production. Tiny Home Project Twelve students are working together to build a tiny home while learning construction, measurement, framing, tool use, workplace safety, problem-solving, and teamwork. We asked students what they have enjoyed and learned during the intensive: > “I signed up for the CTE Intensive construction program, and I have learned a lot, including team building, measurement, and framing.” > “Some of my favorite things about the intensive are the friends I’m making, the work, the food, and lots more.” > “Doing activities, learning a trade, and making new friends.” Their comments show that our intensives are about more than learning a trade. Students are building confidence, making new friends, discovering new interests, and creating memories with students from across the North Slope. Building on Last Spring’s Success Last spring, students in our CTE Construction Intensive successfully completed a 10' × 10' shed. The fully insulated shed includes doors and a window, plywood interior walls, electrical outlets, lighting, and electrical service capable of supporting the operation of a welder. The District is now working through the process to sell the student-built shed, with the intent of using available proceeds to help support future CTE construction projects. The success of the shed allowed us to look toward an even bigger opportunity for our students - building a Tiny Home! A special Quyanaq to the North Slope Borough and Mayor’s Office for supporting the Tiny Home Project and providing a facility where our students can complete the build. We especially thank Mayor Josiah Patkotak for his assistance and support in making this opportunity possible. Because of this support, our students are taking the next step from building a 10' × 10' shed to constructing a Tiny Home, which we plan to complete during this school year. We also thank the NSBSD Board of Education, Superintendent’s Office, principals, counselors, teachers, staff, instructors, families, and community partners who continue to support QLC and CTE opportunities for our students. We look forward to sharing more as these projects take shape and our students continue building new skills, confidence, friendships, and experiences to take home to their communities. Quyanaqpak to everyone investing in our students and their future!Fall CTE Intensive197 shares
