Nurse's Notes
We wanted to make families aware that we are seeing cases of Fifth Disease in our school community and around Kodiak. In most cases, symptoms are mild, but we know it’s always helpful for families to have information and know what to watch for.
Please take a moment to review the attached letter from Nurse Lisa for additional details and guidance.

School Newsletter
Look for your weekly newsletter, Little Paws Press, in your inboxes every Monday afternoon.
There will be lots of useful info stored at the end of each for your reference all year.
General School Information
Emails from PowerschoolMessenger and Smore will be the main
form of communication that you will receive for all general
school information and updates outside of your student's classroom.
Urgent or Emergency Communications
All school emergency notices or alerts will be sent through
PowerSchoolMessenger emails or PowerSchoolMessenger automated calls.
Please take a moment to confirm that your phone numbers and emails
are up to date and correct in your parent portal or check with us in the office.
Individual Classroom/Teacher Communications
KIBSD Staff will only be communicating through district issued devices and applications.
Faculty and staff will no longer be texting or calling with their personal phone numbers.
If you need to reach your child's teacher during the school day please
email, connect via SeeSaw or call the office to leave a message.
Need to speak with your principal?
Call the office to see if Ms. Audra is available or to leave a message.
Ms. Audra always tries to make time to speak with families
but scheduling an appointment time is recommended.
For appointments - please call 907-486-7492.
