District Guidelines | Rights & Responsibilities
Teaching students to read with proficiency by the end of the third grade is a very important goal in the elementary schools in the Anchorage School District. In order for children to understand what they read, they must learn about the sounds in words and the meaning of words.They must learn to read with fluency.
Here are ways parents can help in this important work!
? Read aloud to your child every day.
? Let your child see you read and let your child know that you enjoy reading.
? Be involved in your child's reading progress.Ask your child's teacher what you can do to help your child.
? Surround your child with books and other reading material.
? Limit television. Show your child that reading, writing, drawing and playing games together are even more fun than television. Carefully choose the shows your child does watch.Watch and discuss programs together.
When your child learns to read, listen to him/her read for a few minutes every day.The more a child reads, the better reader he/she becomes.
Every single time a child reads something, he/she is changed by it.

Dear Parent/Guardian,
Welcome to the 2020-21 school year!
The information in this handbook is designed to provide valuable details regarding elementary school procedures and the rights and responsibilities of elementary students in the Anchorage School District. I hope it serves as a resource for you and your student(s) during the school year.
Although each of the 63 elementary and charter schools has its own unique culture and climate, our goal of promoting student excellence in a safe, positive environment is shared. Each school has developed and implemented a schoolwide discipline plan, which emphasizes students being safe, respectful and responsible during the school day. This unified approach to addressing the needs of students is an example of what makes our elementary schools so successful.
The success of our schools also depends on positive collaboration between home and school so I invite you to visit your school often, take part in school activities and show an interest in your child's progress. Please don't hesitate to contact your child's teacher or principal if you have any questions or concerns. It is my sincere wish that we all work together in fostering positive learning experiences for students.
I wish you and your family an outstanding school year!
Sincerely,
Daniel Barker, Senior Director Elementary Education
