What does quality public education mean to Anchorage?
District to hold budget dialogue workshops

ASD is actively soliciting feedback from the community on how to proceed with reductions that are needed for the 2011-12 budget. The district has contracted with Information Insights and Agnew::Beck to host a series of community dialogues in December 2010. The gatherings will be similar to the municipality's recent budget meetings.

Space is limited, so participants must RSVP. Please register online to let us know which of the scheduled community forums you'd like to attend. Once we receive your RSVP, we'll call or e-mail you to confirm your registration.

Register for one of the forums.

If you can't make the forums but would still like your voice to be heard, submit an online comment about the budget.
Are you ready for winter?
This week brought several days of hazardous road conditions and caused the district to use its two allotted "snow days" for the school year. With colder temperatures and snow returning shortly (we hope!), it's a good time for our annual winter weather reminders.

Bundle Up
It may seem like a no-brainer, but we see a lot of students coming to school without the proper winter clothing. Please make sure your children are dressed appropriately

Recess policy
Elementary students will go outside for recess until the temperature or the wind chill factor reaches -10° F (ten degrees below zero).
