KPBSD Migrant Ed Program

The Migrant Ed Staff is offering virtual tutoring via Zoom. We are able to assist in all grades and subject areas, and general homework help. Please feel free to contact us (contact info below) if you are interested in exploring tutoring for just a short time, or on a regular basis. Send us an email to see what we can help with!!

For those of you who are considering enrolling in a Jumpstart course next semester, or, are just completing a Jumpstart course this semester - Migrant Ed can reimburse you for course fees! In addition, if your Migrant Ed student is taking an AP test this semester, we can reimburse for the test fees, as well. Funds are limited for both of these reimbursement programs, so please contact your local Migrant Ed Specialist for more information on how this process works.

Migrant Ed has a limited number of skis, boots, and poles for your cross-country skiing needs! Please contact us to see if we have the sizes you might need for getting out-of-doors this winter. Ski supply check-outs are for one month, with the possibility of renewing based on demand. Think snow!

In need of some extra winter gear as temperatures dip? Migrant Ed has a supply of winter hats, gloves, and socks for Migrant Ed students. Please feel free to contact us if you are interested in receiving gear. We have multiple sizes available. It's good to stay warm!!

2nd Semester is fast approaching (Though I know we all need a break before delving into the 2nd half of the school year!) However, if your Migrant Ed student is in need of school supplies, please let us know now so that we can get these to you in a timely manner. We can supply all regular school supplies that are found on your school's list, as well as items such as headphones, water bottles, kleenex tissue, personal hand santizers, and masks!

*Connections students - please ensure your yearly allotment is used up, or otherwise earmarked before requesting school supplies from Migrant Ed. We are not able to provide materials already accounted for with other programs. Thank you!

Many of you have signed up for our amazing, hands-on monthly science challenge kits. So far, we've explored fungi, leaves, owls, and the Northern night sky! Coming up in February will be Alaska Animal Tracks - literature, crafts and activities. We have kits for both Elementary students and MS/HS students. Please contact us if you'd like to receive a Science Challenge Kit!

The Migrant Ed Program will be off-duty for Winter Break, December 21 - January 1, 2021. We're wishing you and yours a wonderful, restful Holiday Season, and are looking forward to revving up the program again in January. Please take care!!
