I will not be at school from Wednesday 10/1 - Monday 10/6. I will be on a tanner crab survey with the AK Dept. of Fish and Game. This is part of an outreach effort by Fish and Game to bring real science back to the classroom. This will be a unique opportunity for students on my return. Please direct any questions to Mr. Northcutt.
I have also sent out Parent-Teacher Conference Schedule times. Please ask your student about the form and send it back.
Conferences are Thursday 10/9 and Friday 10/10.

Ballroom Dancing at Dzantik' i Heeni
Sixth, seventh and eighth graders are invited to come and learn to ballroom dance Tuesdays and Thursdays, September 16 -November 20 at the after-school Ballroom Dance Club in the commons. This dance form is fun for all ages, and all levels. Instructor Pat Belec of The Dance Loft in Juneau brings years of experience teaching ballroom dance classes in Juneau and beyond.
