Principal's Message
SPRING -
Though it is still cold, the Sun now has warmth. We have longer hours of daylight and the melting days of April are not too far away.
Spring in Alaska - there is one more quarter of school. Third Quarter Report Cards will be available March 23rd through PowerSchool. Now is the time for a strong academic push in those areas of need. If there is a word - struggle. The learning that sticks is won by student time and effort. Anything that comes easy, can be lost easily. Keep at your studies.
April is our month for state testing. In Alaska, 3rd - 10th graders take the PEAKs Test for English Language Arts, Mathematics and Science for 4th, 8th, and 10th grades. Students score Proficient, Advanced or Below and Far Below Proficient. School Report Cards are highly influenced by these test results. Arctic Light has done well and we will do well again. More information coming soon.
Be safe as the ice gets thinner and slicker.
Wear your sunglasses,
Mr. Keener
