  • HATCHING CHICKENS. DO YOU KNOW HOW?
    Iditarod first graders in Mrs. Louise Ralston's class have incubated eggs and have five baby chicks. Each child made a booklet of the stages of growth; the eggs were candled to determine which were fertilized and which could be eaten; and then the big day--hatching! In the brooder to stay warm are five chicks.

        Welcome

           Dr. Paramo     
        Deena M. Paramo, Ed.D.  
        Superintendent
        Phone: 907-746-9255  Fax: 907-761-4076
        501 N. Gulkana Palmer, AK 99645
         
         
         
        Dear Mat-Su students, parents, and community stakeholders,

        Graduation is approaching! Now less than a month away for Mat-Su seniors, I personally want to congratulate every young man and woman as you complete your high school education. As a teacher, principal, administrator, and now Superintendent, I have watched many of you grow and mature from childhood, learning how to make wise decisions and navigate the myriad of educational choices and experiences. I am proud of you—our graduates—and know that you will continue to achieve success and forge high personal accomplishments.

        I reflect on why we call it commencement and want students leaving the District to grasp that the moment is a beginning, not an ending, for each of them. The ceremony in which we confer the high school graduation and award the diplomas is symbolic of the privileges and honors for you, our students, your parents, and other family members to celebrate this milestone in each student’s life. Many organizations in the United States look to high school graduation as one stepping stone in achieving lifetime success through skills building, social learning, and preparation for future education or jobs.

        Sincerely,
        Dr. Parmamo

        Dr. Deena M. Paramo
        MSBSD Superintendent
