K-12 Instructional Programs & Curriculum Support
What we do...
Our primary goal is to help teachers provide the best education possible for students of the Lower Kuskokwim School District through Yugtun, Cugtun and English language instruction. In order to meet this challenge, our responsibilities include facilitating all curriculum development and implementation, Yup'iq or Cup'ig language and culture programs, and conducting staff development, training and on-site support.
Annual Fall Conference
2025
This video highlights some of the most inspiring and impactful moments from last school year — where learning came to life through hands-on projects, real-world connections, and collaborative experiences.
From the classroom to the community, students explored, discovered, and applied their knowledge in meaningful ways.
Join us in celebrating a year of growth, curiosity, and purpose-driven learning.
This year's Annual Fall Conference took on a new rhythm as we came together via distance to collaborate, reflect, and plan with intention.
Teachers engaged in meaningful PLCs which laid the foundation for a year of deep collaboration and shared growth. As the conference came to a close, each site was invited to choose three words that captured how they’re feeling about the year ahead- a powerful reflection of hope, purpose, and shared commitment to students.
