From the Principal

May 1, 2023

Greetings Trailside Families;

We are in the final month of school. It is hard to believe that a lot of the snow is gone. I thought it was going to take until July to get rid of it all! We have many exciting things planned for the last three weeks of school. Our wonderful PTA is going to do the end of the year barbeque for all families, and we will be having our year-end field day. In between those two activities, we are going to have a lot of individual classroom activities happening.

I want to take this opportunity to thank you again for another great year at Trailside. This is the best school in the district with the best students, staff and community. I am so grateful to be a part of this great community. I am looking forward to the summer break to rejuvenate and get ready for the 2023-2024 school year. I hope you take time this summer to enjoy the weather and time with your family! Please take care and if you are doing something exciting, send me a picture via email to share. I love to see what the kids are doing for the summer.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. jones_heather@asdk12.org or 907-742-5500

Sincerely,

Heather Jones, Principal

Nurse Donna's News

Our Fabulous Nurse Donna’s Corner!

As we near the end of the school year, Trailside has a full " Lost and Found" bin! Please stop by and take a look if you are missing. gloves, sweatshirts, jackets, snowpants or a lunchbox. (as soon as school is out all items left in the lost and found will be donated.)

Reminder for next school year:

Students need to be caught up on all immunizations or have a valid exemption before the first day of school. Contact Nurse Donna or your child's health care provider if you have any questions about what required immunizations your child needs, or will need, before next year.

Health Care plans and Religious Exemptions need to be redone every school year and need to be dated AFTER July 1^st to be valid for the upcoming school year.

For summer: Remember Kids Don't Float and Alaska has freezing water!

Set an example to your child, always wear a life jacket around the water and sign your child up for swimming lessons. 🙂

When you check your Friday folder - also check your kiddo for lice! If you find them - treat them and let the parents of your child's close friends know also. Lice are not considered a health hazard and have nothing to do with cleanliness, but they do circulate around in group settings and can be quite annoying to get rid of. Please treat your child immediately if you find them - your child's teacher thanks you for being proactive with this. 🙂

Nurse Donna's Spare Cloths Closet needs donations

Size 10-12 and up

Unisex- Pants Please
