ASDk12.org - Anchorage School District

As official site for the Anchorage School District, in this site you’ll find just about anything you might need to better understand Alaska school system, choose a school for your kid and learn about statistics, cultural/ethnicity policies, administration and even check out the cafeteria menu for all schools in the district. The site can seem a bit cluttered at first sight, but it doesn’t get in the way of extensive and useful information available. Several services of interest for diverse target audiences can be obtained through the site, and include transcripts (for students), curriculum guidelines (for teachers and academic staff), sponsorship/mentoring programs (for other adults), and even academic calendars (for all of them). Other interesting features to be found at the site include links to Anchorage School District educational TV or the podcast library where users can download interviews and stories of interest. Teachers can create a personalized webpage in the network where they can post homework, assignments, resources and other interesting materials, a feature which comes in particularly handy taking into account that schools get closed due to weather conditions more often in Alaska, and this allows students to go on with their work from home.
