KPBSD Migrant Ed Program

Welcome to a new (hopefully monthly) Migrant Ed newsletter! With such a different year, we're hoping to reach out in many different ways to Migrant Ed Families. Below is our Migrant Ed Staff! Please feel free to reach out to any of us with questions about the program, and what types of services we can provide!

Are you looking for academic support for your children? Please contact your Local Area Migrant Ed Specialist. We'd love to work with you to solve issues surrounding needs for academic support, whether it's finding online solutions, like free live virtual tutoring from Tutor.com, or access to learning software such as MobyMax.com. In these challenging times, we can offer to be an additional resource for you as you navigate today's educational system. Please feel free to reach out to talk about how Migrant Ed can help support your learner(s).

In early November, we advertised a virtual book fair through Junior Library Guild (JLG). This effort was met with mixed results.

If you are a family who was not able to order $30.00 worth of books for each of your Migrant Ed students from JLG, and are interested in this, please let us know! You can order books in a couple different ways...

1. Send your Local Area Migrant Ed Specialist an email with a list of books you'd like us to purchase for your child(ren), and we'll get them ordered and mailed to you.

2. Email your Local Area Migrant Ed Specialist and let them know you'd like to shop in person at either Homer Bookstore, or River City Books.

Thanks to our smart and creative Migrant Tutor, Tania Spurkland, we've been able to develop and send out monthly science kits that include a book, a science challenge packet, and supplies to get you started on a science project or art project. We've gotten great feedback on these really fun science kits! We've had kits on fungi, leaves, and owls so far! Coming up next are Northern Night Sky kits, and a Winter Holiday Craft kit.

If you're not already signed up to receive these kits yet, please reach out to your Local Area Migrant Specialist, and we'll get you on the list!!

We're also offering Quarterly Pre-K kits! If you have a child who is age 3 - 5, and who is not currently attending Pre-K, please let us know if you'd like to receive a quarterly kit with a book and a fun activity!

KPBSD's Migrant Ed Program has budgeted funds to reimburse families who have students who enroll in and complete Driver's Ed Training. If Driver's Ed training is something your older student is interested in, please contact us to talk about the possibility of course reimbursement.
