PTO
We need your help. The PTO (parent teacher organization) is looking for parents to be on the PTO board. If interested in being involved with this, please call the office and I will get you in touch with them. They meet the third Monday of each month. The next meeting is Monday, March 20, 2023 @ 4 pm.

We are also looking for help with our Site Council. If interested or for any questions, please contact Ms. Way @ 907-260-1371.
Volunteer
If you would like to be a classroom volunteer, you need to fill out the volunteer application through the school district and be approved before you can be in the classroom. This has to be done every year.
