Baraga does have a regular school day scheduled for tomorrow, 2/21/2022. 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

Please see the details of the lastest Tik Tok post circulating that is supposed to happen tomorrow.

Dear Baraga Families,   It frustrates me to have to send yet another communication of this nature but feel it is important that we address and share it with you.   It has come to our attention that there is a nationwide student Tik Tok challenge that is scheduled for tomorrow, Friday, December 17th. This challenge includes bringing weapons to school. We do not know where this originated from, but we wanted to let our school families know of this “challenge”. Please have a conversation with your children reassuring them that school is s safe place to be and that all safety protocols will be followed. If appropriate, please have a conversation about how wrong a challenge like this is and also how scary it can be for others. Our local law enforcement agencies have been contacted and are aware of this challenge on Tik Tok. They will be present in the building tomorrow. Please secure any personal weapons you may have or students may have access to.   As a reminder, any weapon brought onto school property will lead to an immediate and mandatory expulsion from any public school in Michigan. This is clearly stated in the Michigan Revised Code. Students will also face criminal charges.   Please reach out to administration if you have any questions.   Thank you,    Richard Sarau, Superintendent Baraga Schools      Richard Sarau Superintendent

Dear Baraga Families, Please see the post from Mr. Sarau regarding today's lockdown.

Dear Baraga Families,   This afternoon Baraga Area Schools went into a controlled lock-down due to an unknown adult entering the building without checking into the office. The adult was asked to leave and was noncompliant. There were no weapons or harmful threats. Police were called and the school followed all safety protocols. The adult did leave the building on their own, escorted by the principal. The building was secured, inside and out, and the police were able to apprehend the adult. Staff, students, and authorities did a phenomenal job. The police were here within minutes. Everyone is safe and we appreciate all the help from local authorities.    Thank you for your patience and your trust in Baraga Schools.     Richard Sarau Superintendent
