SCHOOL-WIDE LOCKDOWN
Today the district-wide lockdown alarm was activated at 1:32 PM. Students and staff followed the procedure and were locked down for approximately 23 minutes as the local police department and the county law enforcement cleared the building. Once the building was cleared and deemed safe, the lockdown was removed at 1:55 PM.
Our students and staff executed the lockdown with precision. Everyone is safe. The alarm system indicated that the west doors of the elementary were propped open, thus indicating a possible security breach. This system did what it was designed to do. Thank you for your cooperation and patients. Please know that keeping our students and staff safe is our priority.
Special thanks to the St. Ignatius Police Department, the Lake County Sheriffs Office and CSKT Tribal Police for their prompt response.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.

Community Library Hours
In order to secure our facilities for our student and staff safety, the School Board took formal action at the January 15 meeting last night and temporarily changed the Community Library hours. The District Library will be open to the community Monday through Thursday from 4:00 PM until 7:00 PM. The School Board will gather more information for consideration and readdress this issue at the next meeting on February 19, 2013 at 7:00 PM. Public entry will be directed into the Library through the west entry.
Once again, these changes will come at some inconvenience, but are necessary. We want to do everything possible to prevent and prepare for possible emergencies in our community. Restricting unmonitored access to students and staff is the first step.
Thank you for your understanding and patience in these matters,
Bob

MIDDLE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL HIRED
by Superintendent Robert "Bob" Lewandowski
Due to the number of struggling, at-risk students and the data received through the 2012 Prevention Needs Assessment survey along with the 2011 Youth Risk Behavior Survey the School Board approved hiring a Middle School Principal in the regular 2012 December Board Meeting. The rational is to provide students and teachers with the administrative proximity to follow up with issues of attendance, achievement, behavior and social/emotional attributes that are affecting student outcomes at both middle and high schools.
In a Special Session on December 28, 2012 the Board selected Dan Durglo as the Middle School Principal. The position officially began on Wednesday, January 2, 2013. Mr. Durglo will begin to assimilate duties on Monday, January 13 beginning with the Community Breakfast; however, Mr. Durglo will be acting as both teacher and administrator in order to take the time needed to make an appropriate transition for students and staff alike. It is District's goal to have the transition completed by the end of the quarter/semester on January 18, 2013. This may be a lofty goal, but we will do everything possible to make Mr. Durglo assessable to the middles school students and staff as soon as possible.
Mr. Durglo and Mrs. Stobie will be communicating with elementary parents as well as working with the elementary staff in addressing the 3rd grade needs. Mrs. Stobie has assigned Mr. Tim Krantz (current fourth grade teacher) to Mr. Durglo's 3rd grade classroom. Up until this time, the fourth grade has utilized two teachers to deliver the fourth grade curriculum; however, this year's fourth grade is the smallest class in the district with only 23 students. Ms. Pam Rodeghiero will continue to teach the forth grade with the support of a para-educator while Mr. Krantz transitions to the 3rd grade.
The administration will be communicating with everyone as often as possible until this transition is complete. The District believes this is best for our students in supporting their needs to be successful. We want to appropriately support both the 3rd grade students and the middle school students, as well as the parents and staff in this transition.
Please welcome Mr. Durglo as the Middle School Principal. I am sure he will be contacting parents to extend his services and support for education here at St. Ignatius.
