A Note From Mr. Grant
Hello, I hope this letter finds you and yours healthy!
I wanted to share some good news with you. We have successfully started an After School Instructional Program at Muldoon that focuses on reading skills and enrichment instruction in math. Students have been working on letter names and sounds, decodable reading, writing, guided reading, coding, number sense, addition, and identifying shapes.
This program is comprised of sixteen first graders and sixteen second graders. The program runs from 3:30-5:15 Monday-Thursday, September 28th-November 6th.
This program is adhering to strict measures to keep everyone safe with masks, handwashing, and distancing protocols.
If you have a first or second grader and are interested in getting on a waiting list for the After School Instructional Program, please contact the office.
Please use the following social media platforms as they will support you and your family with informational updates and educational resources.
Our Muldoon Facebook Page and The Muldoon Website
As always please contact me with questions or concerns at grant_leroy@asdk12.org or call 742-1460.
May you stay safe and stay well
Leroy Grant, Principal

News From Title VI Indian Education:
Hello,
My name is Jackie Stuckwish and I am the Title VI Indian Education Tutor at Muldoon Elementary. I work alongside teachers to ensure the educational needs of students with an emphasis on creating educational activities relating to Native American education.
I am devoted to working with students to help them reach their academic goals along with developing cultural awareness and enrichment.
A special part of my job is encouraging the families of my students to participate in their child's education. I practice an open-door policy for parents and children, lending support wherever needed to facilitate their needs.
Families that want a culturally enriched educational experience for their child would be interested in enrolling in this program.
