Mission
The
Alaska Gateway School District will work in partnership with
communities to
educate all students to be responsible citizens and to reach
their full potential.
Strategies
We
will develop and implement a standards-based curriculum that
is culturally supportive and aligned to the assessments. We
will invest in relevant staff development to ensure that our
staff is prepared to educate our students to the highest standards.
We will create supportive community and family partnerships,
including ongoing communication, to promote student success.
We will establish intervention programs for any student at risk
of not achieving proficiency.
