Remote Learning Days
Tis the season! Alaskan winter weather has landed. Learning will continue virtually at Colony High School on Remote Learning Days. Please have your student(s) get in the habit of bringing home their Chromebook & chargers every evening in case of a school closure. On the day of remote learning, all Google Classrooms will be updated with meeting links and assignments by 8am.
Testing Updates!π
- AP students: Students must have logged into their My AP account by November 12th! If a student has not logged into their account, they may not get a test ordered for May's test dates.
A Note from our Registrarπ
Please remember to contact Colony High Schoolβs Registrar if the decision has been made to withdraw and transfer schools by emailing jennifer.bostick@matsuk12.us . A withdrawal form will need to be signed by a legal parent/guardian and this can be completed when the locker is emptied of all items and books returned that have been checked out to the student. Thanks So Much!
π‘ Healthy Reminders from Nurse Soeder π©ββοΈ
- Are you new to the area or state? Connect MatSu is a great community resource for the Valley. All of our service related businesses are listed and can help you find a new doctor, dentist, housing and more. Check out the link! Feel free to call me if you have any questions.
Is your child sick or not feeling well while at school?
You can call or email the school nurse and I will check in with your student. I can help determine if they need to go home or stay at school. I also will make sure their attendance is updated and can sign them out for you. Don't hesitate to reach out for any issues during the school day or needs for your child.
Thank you, Nurse Soeder
The nurse office is 907-861-5516.
