Rilke Schule has been approved by the Anchorage School District to have a 6th - 8th grade girls volleyball team!

The season will begin in November and run through December. Frau Adney will serve as head coach and is excited to launch this wonderful new opportunity for Rilke’s middle school girls.

More information about registration, practices, and the season schedule will be shared as we near the time to start practice.

We look forward to cheering on Rilke's Volleyball Team!

To help ensure everyone’s safety during arrival and dismissal, please observe the following procedures:

• Families parking in the UAA parking lot must supervise and/or escort their students across West Campus Drive. Please look both ways before crossing West Campus Drive.
• Please use the designated crosswalk to access Rilke Schule’s sidewalk. Crossing between lanes of traffic during arrival and dismissal is dangerous and should be avoided.
• Please follow all directions provided by Rilke Schule arrival and dismissal staff.
• Rilke is currently working on obtaining traffic signs to assist with arrival and dismissal procedures.

Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to keeping our students, families, and staff safe.

Rilke is seeking volunteers to help prepare our garden beds for winter! Please bring your garden tools and help with weeding, clearing out beds, and other general garden-care tasks. This is a triple volunteer hours opportunity, and your help will ensure the beds are ready for spring planting. Thank you for supporting Rilke's gardens!

Please give your child a warm and loving goodbye at the designated drop-off area. A staff member will come to the line starting around 8:00 am - 8:05 am to help them enter the school safely. Parents and guardians are also welcome to wait in line with their child(ren) until the teacher arrives to escort the class into the building.

This routine helps children build confidence and independence while supporting a safe and smooth arrival for everyone. Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and continued support as we make this transition together!

If your student(s) will not be attending Anchorage Gymnastics, CHAMPS or Starbright on any given day, please email the front office at inforilke@asdk12.org and inform the after-school organization of the student(s) absence.
