 Dear Parent(s) and Guardian(s):

 Recently the Alaska Department of Education & Early Development (DEED) released the 2022-2023 Report Cards to the Public for each school district and school in Alaska. These Report Cards present information about performance for the 2022-2023 school year. During this second administration of The Alaska System of Academic Readiness (AK STAR) assessment, students in grades 3-9 were assessed in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Students in grades 5, 8, and 10 took the Alaska Science Assessment.

 Portions of the Report Card pertaining to Accountability will be delayed until May 2024 as DEED is working to revise the cut scores that determine what achievement levels students will receive. Once the new cut scores are accepted, the calculations will be completed.

 To view a 2022-2023 School or District Report Card to the Public, go to https://education.alaska.gov/compass/report-card. Once there, you will be able to select which School or District Report Card to the Public you wish to view. This user-friendly website aims to provide families with clear, common information about all public schools and districts in our State. These Report Cards to the public contain data and information about academics, school environment, teacher quality, and more. If you are unable to access the Report Card to the Public online, please contact your student’s school.

 We know that the Report Card to the Public is just one of many ways you will engage with us at Paul F. Asicksik School. We look forward to sharing our school’s successes with you, and working together to make our school better every day.

 We hope you will closely follow your student’s academic progress and work with his or her teacher(s) to help ensure academic success. Working together as a team, we can improve not only how well our students are performing individually, but how our school and district is performing as a whole. There is nothing more important to administrators and teachers at Paul F. Asicksik School than ensuring that students are ready for the next step in their academic career. We look forward to partnering with you.

 If you have any questions or concerns regarding our School or District Report Card to the Public, please don’t hesitate to contact us at Jason.harris@bssd.org or 907-624-4234

 Sincerely,

 Tammy Dodd
Interim Superintendent
