It's been a great week to be a Colt!

Colt Willard (6th Grade)

“Colt regularly helps take chairs off of tables at the beginning of our Language Arts class. His hard work in Language Arts shows, as he notes and shares some in-depth insights into our novel we're reading.” - Mrs. Anteau

Makena Cafmeyer (7th Grade)

“Makena is always pleasant to be around and has a great sense of humor.” - Mr. Campbell

Skyler Workman (8th Grade)

“We have loved having Skyler as our 2nd period Office Aide! He is always ready to help with anything we need. Thank you for all that you do for us, Skyler!” - Front Office Staff

*Reminder: School dress code still applies for all spirit days. Students should come to school dressed in their Spirit Week outfit. Applying makeup, hair color/hairspray, or other things will not be allowed at school. Full coverage paint on head, arms, legs, or clothing will also not be allowed.*

Vaccine Consent Forms

If your student is NOT returning to ASD after this school year, make sure you read this!

If your student is NOT returning to ASD next year, whether because you're moving out of state or your student is transferring to a different school district in Alaska, here are two important steps to know:

Step 1: Notify Mrs. Christina! Mrs. Christina, our Registrar, will be able to provide you with the withdrawal process to ensure a smooth transition.

Step 2: Prepare your student to turn in their Chromebook at the end of the school year.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Christina Kelly at 907-742-3609 or by email at kelly_christina@asdk12.org.
