Principal

Welcome To Fireweed!

Whether you are already a part of our community, interested in learning more, or just stopping by – I’m glad you’re here with us! Our school offers a unique experience for K-6 students in the Southern Kenai Peninsula as the only charter in the area. We utilize hands-on projects, high quality curricula that are chosen by our team, Socratic seminars, thematic units, and getting kids into the outdoor classroom to instill the 6 Fireweed ‘Learner Outcomes’ in each student at our school. I’d love to connect if you have any questions!

Communication

‘2,4,6,8, how do we communicate?’ Mostly through email!

  • I’m here for you if you need to communicate anything via phone or in person. Have a concern or a celebration? You know where to find me! You can also submit a response to the “Fireweed Feedback” form linked above.
  • We will continue with our “Weekly Update” slides format so when you see those slides hit your inbox on Fridays, make sure to look through! Those are always found in the folder above as well.
  • If you’re looking for me in person, my general schedule will be starting at Little Fireweed M/W/F and Big T/Th while switching around lunchtime.

I have an ‘open door’ policy and welcome any communication, feedback, or ideas that you would like to share with me.

Best,

Kyle Darbonne
