Dear Baraga Families, School staff were informed that an 8th grade student at Baraga Schools has passed. The cause of death was suicide. Our thoughts and support go out to his family and friends at this difficult time. The school will be providing students support through our school’s Crisis Response Team and the Copper Country Intermediate School District. Professionals will be present to provide information about common reactions following a suicide, how adults can help youth cope, the emotional needs of adolescents, and the risk factors and warning signs for suicide. They will also address and support student needs. Trained crisis counselors will be available to meet with students and staff starting tomorrow and continuing over the next few weeks as needed. This is a very difficult time for the family and we ask that you please respect their wishes and privacy. Following is a list of resources to support students during a crisis.

Please be advised that we are under a winter weather warning and that could change, but we do NOT have the day off on the regular calendar.

Monday, January 24, 2022 Dear Baraga Families, We are entering our third school year where COVID-19 has added disruption to our schedules. The last couple of weeks have been especially hard with an increasing number of cases in both staff and students. We have come to a point this week where the amount of staff and student shortages have become unmanageable at the elementary level. We have decided to put grades TK-5 into virtual learning for the rest of this week, January 25--28, 2022, to hopefully get our staff back to full capacity and slow things down a bit. We know this is inconvenient for many families and we didn’t come to this decision lightly. We will be working hard today to get the materials your children will need in order to participate in virtual learning this week. Please call the office with any questions or concerns and thank you for trusting Baraga with the education and well-being of your children. Thank you, Richard Sarau, Superintendent
