The King Career Center invites you to our next showcase event on Tuesday, January 30, from 6 to 8 p.m. Whether you’ve been to previous events, or if this is your first time, you are welcome and encouraged to attend. Come visit classes and speak with current students, alumni, and instructors about what doors to your future will open by attending our school. We will also have computer labs staffed to assist with lottery applications for next year’s grand opening of King Tech High School.  

For planning purposes, we ask that you sign up for the showcase on our website at http://kcc.asdk12.org. We hope to see you here at 6 p.m. next Tuesday evening!

Thank you,

The Performance Evaluation for Alaska’s Schools (PEAKS) is Alaska’s summative assessment administered to students in Grades 3-9 (English language arts and mathematics) and grades 4, 8 and 10 (science) each spring. The purpose of a large-scale, summative assessment is to provide parents and schools an overall picture of a student’s progress in meeting the Alaska standards at his/her grade level. The assessment is taken on the computer and is not timed, but each content area takes approximately 100-180 minutes.

Parents can locate resources for the PEAKS assessment, including directions for PEAKS Practice tests, called Online Tools Training and PEAKS Tutorials (under Frequently Asked Questions), on the ASD website at www.asdk12.org/PEAKS.

Parents can also help by ensuring their children are well rested, eat a nutritious breakfast, and are at school on time for the days of testing. Please avoid scheduling appointments on your child’s testing days.

March 26th through April 6  – All testing begins at 8:30 am.

Today from 2:00p-4:00p (need 3-4 parent volunteers to prep)

Friday from 10:30am-1:00 (need 3 more parent volunteers to serve)

Your Souper Steller Leadership Team is Kari Hall (parent) and Emma Kramer (student)
