Academic Coaching is available most Mondays and Wednesdays from 4-6:30pm. A secondary math teacher and additional coahes are available to help with homework questions. This is an excellent time to get extra one-on-one help.

Academic Coaching can be accessed virtually on the Academic Coaching Canvas. We encourage all AIAN Students that are in need of tutoring to drop in.

Parents can invite Indian Education staff to attend school meetings such as IEP or behavioral meetings.

We have an in depth AI/AN Library, of books written by and about Native Americans at all levels, both fiction and non-fiction available as resources for educators within the district. We also have in limited supply, books we can offer to families from our library to encourage our students to read more!
