Earlier today, we recieved a recognition form written by an annonymous writer who really values the services provided by one of our school district parftners. In their recognition form, the writer chose to say thank you to King Flying Service and the great pilots and staff who help us every day. The writer stated: "Thanks to King's Flying Service for flying our students for the past 40 some years safely to school." The District is grateful for the service and record of safety that John, Jay, and the other members of King's have provided for so many years.
In late December, an annonymous person wrote a recognition for our student: Ruth Nashookpuk. The recognition stated that they wanted to recognize Ruth for always having a positive attitude, even when things seem hard. We are proud of Ruth, and those same things the writer identified. Congratulations, Ruth. Keep up the good work and positive attitude.

Parent Conferences & Early Release Next Week

Submitted by jdube on Fri, 09/21/2012 - 9:21am

Traditionally we've held parent conferences when the quarter is over and hand-delivered report cards at that time. We feel it could really make a difference in student achievement if we have parent conferences at mid-quarter so parents and students can have those important conversations with teachers before the quarter is finished. We will have conferences (and early releases) Wednesday and Thursday September 26 & 27. Wednesday's conferences will be from 2:30 - 4:00. Thursday's conferences will be in the evening from 6-8. We hope you can come by and visit with your child's teacher.

Menu changes for the week of Sept 17

Submitted by jdube on Mon, 09/17/2012 - 8:40am

The new meal pattern requires legumes and certain colored vegetables at least once a week. In order to meet these requirements there are a few changes this week:

On Tues 9/18 we will be having baked beans instead of corn.
There has been a delay in our produce order so on 9/19 we won't be having salad. Instead we will have cole slaw made from Dillingham grown cabbages.
In order to meet the weekly dark green vegetable requirement we will be having broccoli instead of mixed vegetables on 9/21.
