H1N1 Immunization Dates Tentatively Scheduled for November and DecemberVaccine has finally arrived! Although we do not have enough for all schools yet, we will begin providing school located clinics for the youngest children and those with less access to health care first. As we receive more vaccine, we will be able to provide immunizations for all students who have requested it. If your child has any additional illness which puts him/her at greater risk, we encourage you to contact your own health care provider or public health department to receive the vaccine at an earlier date.
Please view the list of
TENTATIVE dates for Immunization in Schools, remembering that dates and times are subject to change. IF your child has already received his/her H1N1 vaccination elsewhere, please let your school know right away. Finally, remember that we welcome your participation in this event whether simply supporting your child or helping as a volunteer. Please contact your individual school for more information.
For important information from the CDC, State of Alaska and KPBSD, we strongly encourage you to visit our
Pandemic Preparedness page.

Budget Development Calendar 
At KPBSD, we take very seriously our responsibility to safeguard students while they are in our care. Unfortunately, in this day and age, not everyone's intentions are genuine, and the District cannot in good conscience overlook the possible threat to student safety that could be posed by people in the school building. Anyone interested in being a school volunteer needs to complete a form online and agree to a background check. The form should only take a few minutes to complete, and all information gathered will be kept confidential.
Volunteers are anyone who will be in the school on a regular basis. School visitors do not need to complete the form. Visitors would be guest speakers, those attending a large group function or parents visiting just their own student, for instance to have lunch with them. Information from the screening and background check is not released to the schools or school administrators. Only a few members of the District's Human Resources department will have access to the information, and safeguards are in place to ensure its security.
The volunteer background check only looks for criminal history, not financial (credit rating), medical history, or civil matters. The school's principal will be notified if there is a problem with a background check, but the specifics of an offense will not be released to the school.
To complete the screening process, visit our
Volunteer Screening Process page. When you reach the page choose one of the schools and click on the "Apply" button to start the volunteer application process. KPBSD appreciates your assistance in helping us be better stewards of children. Please contact your school administrator if you have questions regarding this matter.
