Annette Island School District

We are excited to announce the start of the AISD Hunter Safety Course for next semester! This club will be open to all students in grades 5th-12th who want to participate in the State of Alaska Hunter Safety Course, free of charge. Parents and community members will be able to attend the in-person course free of charge, but if they wish to complete the online course, they may be required to pay a small fee (depending on availability). Here are some additional details: -Students in grades 5th-8th will attend an in-person course which will meet Wednesdays 6:00 PM-7:30 PM. These weekly in-person courses will also be open to parents, and members of the community. -We will have two make-up Saturday sessions for students who fall behind or miss sessions. We will be working through a workbook with the goal of finishing the book by the beginning of April. -Students in high school and community members can do the in-person course OR attend an online self-paced course (covering the same material as the in-person course) but can be completed at their own pace. -All participants who complete either course and pass the test will then attend an in-person field day run by an ADFG instructor this spring.

Congratulations to our December Winner of the Golden Apple Award of Excellence, Brielle Byman! Here's what the nominator had to say: "Brielle is always there and doing a great job! The Metlakatla High School is the cleanest school I have ever been in. I love how she interacts with the students. She anticipates and is clearly concerned about their needs.

Attention AISD Families: Tomorrow (Tuesday, December 12th) a strong wind and rain storm is expected to impact the panhandle, including Annette Island. Our schools will remain open, with limited outdoor activities. Buses will be transporting middle school students between the middle and high school. In the event of a power outage, our generators will provide heat and electricity, and our buildings can be made available to our community if needed. We understand if families choose to keep their students home during the storm. Please stay safe! #aisd #aisdproud #metlakatla #alaska #storm #annetteislandschooldistrict
