Baraga Families, Please see below for an important message from Superintendent Richard Sarau regarding in-person learning and the recent uptick in quarantines at the school.
ATTENTION:
We are VERY disappointed and saddened to have to send this announcement to the community. Due to recent events, quarantines, positive COVID cases, and due to the current increase in positive cases in the community, the Class of 2022, in consultation with the Western UP Health Department, and the adults who have been so diligently hard working to put this on, have had to make the tough decision to cancel prom.
We have put a lot of time, energy, money (all prom ticket money will be refunded) and heart into this prom and this was not an easy decision. We know that many people are out a lot of money due to tuxes and dresses (so are we sadly), and we are very sorry for this. We did always know that prom being cancelled was a possibility. We just hoped it would be able to happen.
With prom being so close to the Baraga School Graduation - repercussions from our prom could greatly affect graduation, BASH, breakfast and graduation parties. We do not want the loss of these events to be placed on our classes shoulder or for our seniors to miss out on these huge life events. Again, we are very sorry for this announcement.
Sincerely,
Desiree Lauritsen
Stefanie Holley
Class of 2022
Unfortunately, due to the number of students who will still be quarantined next week, our Scholarship Night will be held virtually. More info will be given to students once plans are finalized. Thank you for understanding.
Welding and Manufacturing plus Graphic Design and Marketing both have awesome facilities! Our students are lucky to have these great opportunities for free job training and skill building.

Please arrive at school on time as the bus will depart at 8:30.
Those students age 16-18 who would like a covid vaccine should have their parents call the BCMH hotline at 906-524-3471, and then select option 1, to leave their child's name and contact information so we can get them scheduled.

Baraga County Memorial Hospital has contacted us in regards to providing vaccinations to any student ages 16-18. We will be contacting students to gauge interest, but if you would like your student to receive the vaccine or like more information, please contact the office at 353-6661.

The yearbook class is in search of girls junior high basketball photos from the 2020-2021 school year. If you have any photos of our girls in action please send them to vklein@baragaschools.org. With covid restrictions at games earlier this year we missed these games. We would really appreciate it.
Music is the medicine of the mind and music is exactly what we need to get us through these stressful times. That being said, Baraga Area Schools will be having their Spring Concerts. The 6-12 concert will be on Thursday, May 20th at 1:45 PM. The K-5 concert will be on Tuesday, May 25th at 1:45 PM.

Remember: MSTEPs begin next week! Our students are SO much more than a test score, but these tests are mandated by the state, so encourage your child to do their best.
Getting ready for kindergarten signing day
We are so excited that we can hold scholarship night face to face! Students who earned scholarships will be personally invited to this event once we have heard back from all of the organizations that sponsor our scholarships.
