July 14 –

Hi everyone!  Hope your summer is going well!  I just wanted to remind everyone that we have a PAC meeting tomorrow (July 14) at noon.  We will be meeting at the Polar Bear Playground on Pine Street (at the intersection of Pine Street and Eighth Ave).  There is a big parking lot, grassy areas, and the playground if any kids do come with us.  Masks will not be enforced but are suggested, and we will be able to social distance.  If you are able to bring a camp chair with you, that would be great, but we will have some extras if you are unable to.  I will be arriving at 11:30.  If anyone would like to come early to chat and hang out before the meeting, feel free to join me.  The meeting agenda and live comments are shared in our private facebook group.

Sept 29th- The Region A IDEA PAC (Parent Advisory Committee) had planned an Instruction Provider Fair. In its place, we’ll have our first posting of Instruction & Activity Providers Resource available in the Community Section on the family side of the website. The listing will be an opportunity to learn more about all of the Instruction Providers who would like to serve more IDEA families.  Be sure to check your IDEA email!  Very soon we’ll have information for you to send to anyone you know who is interested in providing Instruction to families in the Region A Area (Chugiak to Bird Creek).

Look for more details to be announced soon
