and now a word from Milo the Muskox...
When you input a Requistion in the OLS, you are requesting that Debbie purchase your items/supplies using the money you allocate toward that retail vendor. This keeps you out of the purchasing picture - all you need to do is allocate money for said Requisition. The parcel will be delivered directly to your home/mailing address.
When you input a Reimbursement allocation in the OLS, you are requesting that Jenny and/or Dawn pay you back for an allowable purchase you've already made. You also provide receipts of each purchase as back-up for your reimbursement request.
When an item is requisitioned, we order without contacting you unless there is a question.
If you decide to purchase that item yourself after it has been entered as a requisition, the funds remain used in your student account until such time that we receive a refund from the vendor.

It's beginning to look a lot like a Library
College and career readiness
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 Megan Schneider ;
I was born and raised in Homer Alaska, where I was raised by my parents and by the words. I struggled with Dyslexia in my early years, but my parents used homeschool to make education meet me where I was. This blessed me with an enthusiasm for reading and learning, and a desire to pass on my love of learning to others.
I pursued a degree in Elementary Education from the University of Alaska, Anchorage, and have been here in Anchorage ever since. I have experienced teaching in many settings, including internationally, and love the way that learning can be a bridge between cultures and truly be made to meet any student.
I have taught several years of elementary grades (the "littles") in the Anchorage School District and am so happy to merge my professional training with my personal connection to homeschooling as a Sponsor Teacher.
My husband and I have two children (ages 6 and 4), and we are so excited to be homeschooling them! As a family, we love getting out into nature; hiking, foraging, and gardening. Our home looks a little like a zoo, with our many pets (including backyard chickens). I also find restoration in literature (both personally, and sharing it with my friends and family).
