Kingikmiut School

Activities can begin again. We are all thankful that Verne was found safe. Thank you to everyone who helped out with SAR and behind the scenes.

FYI: Due to the current Search and Rescue (SAR) going on in Wales, there will be no afterschool activies (i.e., open gym, sports) until further notice. I will let you know when these activities can resume.

Welcome to a new school year. I am very excited to continue as your principal for another school year. We have started our year off to a great start. The image attached is inviting people from the community to run for a position with the Advisory Education Committee. This committee is made up of community members who want to be involved in the education of the wonderful students who live in this great village. If you are interested in applying, please stop by the office during school hours to complete an affidavit of candidacy. Thanks again from your principal, Dr. Dawn Hendrickson.

Be on the lookout for "What Students Should Know in Reading" Informational sheets during the month of August. Each week we will highlight different grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th Grade. 📖 This week we will highlight: "What KINDERGARTEN Students Should Know in Reading".

Good Morning, I wanted to thank you all for entrusting your child(ren) to us to educate and prepare them to become lifelong learners. Brian Herbert once stated that, “The capacity to learn is a gift; the ability to learn is a skill; the willingness to learn is a choice.” Our hope is that the students will continue to have motivation and willingness to learn.
