2016 Visit Our Schools Month
Spread the word: Invite your homeschooling friends to visit our school this February
Community members, businesses and parents are invited to visit any ASD school during the month of February to learn more about the community's public schools. Last year, ASD schools welcomed more than 2,100 visitors.
While Family Partnership Charter School welcomes members of the public year-round, this coordinated effort is designed to provide parents and community members an opportunity to learn more about FPCS and the amazing educational opportunities available.
As always the safety of our students will always remain our top priority. All people on tours will be checked in through normal procedures that visitors follow. School staff will be leading the tours and tour groups will never be unsupervised.
Learn more about Visit Our Schools Month at www.asdk12.org/visit.
State Ferry Naming Contest
Sponsored by the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities and the Governor’s Office.
By state law, state ferries are named after Alaska glaciers. Students (in grades 6-12) are invited to submit a name for one of two new state ferries and provide supporting evidence in an essay of 400 to 800 words. The content should include scientific and historical information. One ferry will be named by a student from grades 6 to 8, and the other ferry will be named by a student from grades 9 to 12.
The two winning students will receive an award certificate in their classroom presented by the Governor, Lt. Governor, or Commissioner of DOT&PF. The winning essay will be framed and displayed on the ferry it names.
Essays are due March 15, 2016
A flyer, a learning guide from DOT&PF, and an outline of the contest are available at: http://FerryAlaska.com/contest.
