Morning hall monitors needed

The Watershed School is looking for a group of volunteers to continue to help out with hallway supervision between 8:00 and 8:30, with 8:15-8:30 being the highest need. This time is contracted with staff as prep time, so we want to protect that time for staff to get instructional planning completed. Please sign up in the office if you can be of assistance.

Mission

The Watershed School will foster the development of students with a strong sense of place who will be prepared to serve as stewards of their community. By gaining an understanding of the history, government, culture, and ecology of Alaska's interior, students will achieve academic excellence and expand their competency to the rest of the world.

At every opportunity, we will provide students with meaningful explorations and activities outside the classroom. We will teach each child with care, encouraging imaginative work and play, analytical and critical thinking skills, and a sense of social and ecological responsibility.
