Come join us for the registration event from 4:30-6:30 pm Thursday in the MPR. We’ll have cookies for sale for a dollar, signs to paint for a donation to cheer people on along the trail, and examples of intensives and Passages. Also, please bring charcoal to burn as the BBQ does not use wood. We’ll have a cart in the MPR to collect those bags of charcoal sitting in your garage or shed. Participate in our Steller fundraiser for travel and other opportunities. YAY! See you there!

The Performance Evaluation for Alaska’s Schools (PEAKS) is Alaska’s summative assessment administered to students in Grades 3-9 (English language arts and mathematics) and grades 4, 8 and 10 (science) each spring. The purpose of a large-scale, summative assessment is to provide parents and schools an overall picture of a student’s progress in meeting the Alaska standards at his/her grade level. The assessment is taken on the computer and is not timed, but each content area takes approximately 100-180 minutes.

Parents can locate resources for the PEAKS assessment, including directions for PEAKS Practice tests, called Online Tools Training and PEAKS Tutorials (under Frequently Asked Questions), on the ASD website at www.asdk12.org/PEAKS.

Parents can also help by ensuring their children are well rested, eat a nutritious breakfast, and are at school on time for the days of testing. Please avoid scheduling appointments on your child’s testing days.

March 26th through April 6  – All testing begins at 8:30 am.
