We are ready for current student re-enrollments and new student registrations!

Call us if you have any questions or issues accessing your parent portals.

We are always happy to help = 907-486-7492.

The re-enrollment process ensures that your child’s information is accurate,

and allows the schools to prepare the necessary services for the coming school year.

Families, friends and relatives may have moved or changed phone numbers,

this information is vital in case of an emergency and must be accurate.

Please re-enroll below...

Have a student ready for kindergarten in the Fall?
