Do you know a former foster youth or youth experiencing homelessness between the ages of 18 and 25 who is currently working and living independently? This year there has been an expansion of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) as part of the American Rescue Plan Act which effects former homeless and foster youth. Youth who were in foster care between the ages of 14-17 or who were a McKinney-Vento homeless youth may now qualify for the EITC. The 18-25 year old must be currently eligible to file taxes and cannot be claimed as a dependent by any other person. Additionally, they can be a full-time student which is a significant change from past years. Please be aware, as of right now this will only apply to taxes filed for the 2021 tax year. Qualifying youth need to check box 27 on their 1040 tax form. For more information please view the EITC document on our family resources page or contact Joe Henry at (907) 886-6000 ext. 2276. https://aisdak.sites.thrillshare.com/page/family-resources

In Mr. Gamaas Bolton's culture class, the students are learning how to create a design that will be eventually be transferred to their drums! Today they practiced drawing something that makes them feel good, something they enjoy doing, and something that represents Na Gatlleedm: strength of mind, strength of body, and strength of spirit. #aisd #aisdproud #tsimshian #nativealaskan #metlakatla #tsimshiannation #alaska #education #drum

AISD Families, Our attendance system is an automated system and will send out an alert as soon as teachers take attendance. We ask that you please be very patient with the building secretaries as they go through and update attendance as phone calls come in and as teachers are taking attendance. Some days this can be a very tedious process. We understand your frustrations and thank you so much for being patient with the secretaries as they go through and update attendance. #attendance #rjes #clms #mhs #aisd #secretaries #thankyou

Below are the semester two spectator protocols. Please note that on the last bullet it states that we cannot have spectators while our community is at level two following MIC's guidelines. This does mean that if the community is at level two during our Wrangell games on Jan. 28th and 29th, we will not allow spectators during these games but they will be steaming online! Here is the link to steam the Wrangell Games: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkVBsfQQlXfiEhAGAJCJsLA Semester 2 Spectator Protocol The Annette Island School District is working hard to give the students the ability to participate in school activities in the safest manner possible. Having family and friends there to cheer on the students has always been important to the school and community. To continue school activities and allow spectators in the high school gym, we will need everyone to follow certain guidelines. These guidelines are subject to change depending on the number of Covid-19 cases within the community and following MIC’s guidelines. Regardless of vaccination status, masks are required for all spectators covering their nose and mouth at all times. Temperature checks will be done prior to entry. Anyone with a fever may not enter the school building. Anyone who is on the current quarantine list may not enter the school building. In order to help maintain social distancing, spectators are expected to remain socially distanced from other groups while on the bleachers. Members of the same household may sit together. If you are sick with any symptoms DO NOT attend, everything will be online so you will not miss out. Food will not be permitted during events. Concession stand will be closed until further notice. To minimize the areas needed for sanitation, spectators need to stay in the gym. The Commons Area will be restricted but the restrooms will be open. Hand sanitizer will be provided at the entrance of the gym. Spectators are strongly encouraged to sanitize their hands as they enter the gym. There will be no spectators allowed for events when the community is at LEVEL TWO following MIC’s guidelines.
