Principal's Message - We're starting with Remote Learning
Greetings,
During a special session of the School Board on August 27th, they voted to start this school year with Remote Learning. All students in the FNSBSD will start their school year using digital platforms. The School Board will meet again to decide when we will return to 'In-Building' Learning. Teachers are taking extra classes, meeting with one another, and polishing their electronic educational programs to go live on August 20th. We have a few steps to be ready.
Understand that being enrolled at Arctic Light saves your child a space when we return to 'In-Building' Learning. If you are interested in our 'e-Learning' program please checkout the district's information at https://www.k12northstar.org/Page/9918.
'In-Building' Learning follows many safety protocols including a limit to the number of students in each classroom. Students receive these small class sizes, certified teacher instruction, specials (music, library, PE, counselor), the option for school meals, recess, SEL lessons for positive learning communities, and five hours of school each weekday: 9:30am - 2:30pm.
August 18th is our Meet n' Greet. Returning students will digitally receive information about their teacher and classroom. Our Kindergarten students will schedule a school visit for the 18th. Students new to Arctic Light can attend our evening Meet n' Greet 5:30-6:30pm outside our school following social distancing guidelines.
We are working closely with CYS to smooth the student experience between the two services.
New to Arctic Light - Mrs. Allen (1st Grade), Ms. Cerven (4th Grade), Mrs. Harlamert (ELP), and returning is Mrs. Berry (1/2 Grades). This year we have a certified counselor through the AK-Rises grant: Mrs. Steiner.
More information will be forthcoming concerning the start of school.
We are all experiencing a piece of history that our grandkids will ask us about.
Do Good Work, Be a Friend, Every Day.
Mr. Keener
Principal – Arctic Light K-8
