October is principal appreciation month!
This year more than ever has been an immense challenge for our school leadership. We would like to recognize the great work of our Principal who leads with compassion and care for the benefit of the FPCS staff, families, and students. Join us in celebrating and thanking Jessica Parker for her dedication to staff and student success.
Ideas for celebrating Principal Parker:
· Send her a handwritten thank you card.
· Bring her a coffee (her favorite!!)
· Remind her that she's doing great work.
Sponsor Teacher Spotlight
Our Sponsor Teacher Kjirsten Langland;
Alaska is home and I am homegrown! Born and educated in Anchorage, I graduated from West Anchorage High School. I attended the University of San Diego and graduated with a degree in Diversified Liberal Arts and my teaching credential. I am "Highly Qualified" to teach K-8th grades and have taught with the Anchorage School District since 1997.
I am a mom of 3 kids that I adore and we, along with my hubby, love to ski, hike, fly, travel and enjoy all that is Alaska.
I am honored to be a part of the Family Partnership Charter School Family. I love working with our FPCS families to help them determine the best ways to educate their children while discovering how fun learning can be. Welcome to FPCS!
