Happy New Year and Welcome to the Second Semester
Welcome Back Midnight Sun Families. We live in Alaska and know all about winter, but really? Snow and rain and more snow? I hope the recent weather events didn't put a crimp in anyone's holidays and that you all found some time for relaxation and family activities. We need our students back refreshed and ready to learn.
2022 is going to be an amazing year filled with positivity and support. It's imperative that we continue to work together to find the best path for our students. Safety is always our first priority and we need your continued attention during drop off and pick up times. We have many staff that are delayed in returning to the Fairbanks area, due to travel issues so you may see different faces covering for those staff members; please be patient as we get this second semester off to a running start.
The staff and I are excited to welcome back our students tomorrow. Let's make this the best semester, yet.
Best regards,
Joanne Van
