WELCOME Back!
August 28th, 2023

Another year begins
And we are so excited to be back! We would like to extend a very warm welcome to our new and returning families! If you have not yet completed and returned enrollment documents for your students, please do so as soon as possible. Don't forget to include their Birth Certificates and Immunization Records (unless you already uploaded them when enrolling online with the district). KIBSD requires all students to be up to date on their immunizations in compliance with Alaska state laws. Our social calendar for September is already starting to fill up with all sorts of exciting activities but we are making sure to make time for fall assessments and screenings. Standardized assessments and screenings are how we evaluate where we stand as a school; areas where we excel and areas where we need to put in more effort and resources. These screening also help you, as a homeschool parent teaching your child, to identify their strengths and where they have room for improvement so you can tailor their education to best fit their needs. Please consider having your student(s) participate.

Our Building
Finding us can be an adventure. Our classrooms are located in the same hallway as the Pre-K in Central Services. Currently you can gain access through the main doors shown here. In the near future we will be transitioning to sharing an entrance with the High School on the side of the building by the octopus dumpster. We will share more information about that and other upcoming changes soon!

Upcoming Events
Community Events & Info
Throughout the school year we will be hosting a variety of clubs and events and we want as many interested students as possible to attend. We always appreciate having an idea of how many families to expect for any given activity, but we NEVER want anyone to miss out on an opportunity because they forgot to let us know they were coming. Even though we will make sure to plan for a few extra kiddos in regards to any supplies, materials or accommodations it really does help us to be adequately prepared if you take the time to R.S.V.P. You can send us a message via the phone or by email or even by carrier pigeon. It is our desire to make sure that every student who participates in our activities has the best experience possible.
This Month's Calendar
A note on newsletters
Whenever possible, flyers and information will be linked to the appropriate site. So, if you see a website address in a flyer that you want to visit, go ahead and try clicking on it. More than likely, it will take you there. Also, the calendar is a picture and should be able to be saved to your device and printed.
