Principal's Note
Hello SGCS families,
It is time for our annual School Climate and Connectedness Survey. The deadline is soon - we only have 17 responses so far and we'd love to have more! This is an opportunity for families to give us feedback on how we are doing. It takes just a few minutes, please click here to fill out the family survey for our school.
As you may have heard, we are expanding to sixth grade next year. We are in the beginning stages of planning. If you have thoughts or ideas, please send them our way. Fifth grade families, we will be in touch soon!
In partnership,
Stacy Diouf
SGCS Principal

Report Cardd to the Public
Recently the Alaska Department of Education & Early Development (DEED) released the 2022-2023Report Cards to the Public for each school district and school in Alaska. These Report Cards present information about performance for the 2022-2023 school year. During this second administration of The Alaska System of Academic Readiness (AK STAR) assessment, students in grades 3-9 were assessed in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Students in grades 5, 8, and 10 took the Alaska Science Assessment. Portions of the Report Card pertaining to Accountability will be delayed until May 2024 as DEED is working to revise the cut scores that determine what achievement levels students will receive. Once the new cut scores are accepted, the calculations will be completed.
To view a 2022-2023 School or District Report Card to the Public, go to
https://education.alaska.gov/compass/report-card. Once there, you will be able to select which School or District Report Card to the Public you wish to view. This user-friendly website aims to provide families with clear, common information about all public schools and districts in our State. These Report Cards tothe public contain data and information about academics, school environment, teacher quality, and more. If you are unable to access the Report Card to the Public online, please contact us. We know that the Report Card to the Public is just one of many ways you will engage with us at Sayéik: Gastineau Community School. We look forward to sharing our school’s successes with you, and working together to make our school better every day.
We hope you will closely follow your student’s academic progress and work with his or her teacher(s) to help ensure academic success. Working together as a team, we can improve not only how well our students are performing individually, but how our school and district is performing as a whole. There is nothing more important to administrators and teachers at our school than ensuring that students are ready for the next step in their academic career. We look forward to partnering with you.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding our School or District Report Card to the Public, please don't hesitate to reach out.
