I am the Special Education\/Resource teacher at Razdolna and Kachemak Selo schools. I was born and raised in Denver, Colorado and began working in schools after graduating College. I started my career as a Special Education Paraprofessional as I earned my Masters in Education before becoming a teacher.&nbsp; My wife Cori and I moved to Alaska in 2013 and bought land on East End Road. We have since built our \u201cforever home\u201d and love living and working in this wonderful corner of Alaska. This will be my fourth year in this position and I have loved every minute of it. Building relationships with all students from the village is something I work on daily and my goal is to help every student succeed and grow as an individual. My wife and I enjoy spending time together experiencing the outdoors through, hiking, biking, fishing, stand up paddle boarding, and spending as much time as possible on our boat. I delight in sharing my enthusiasm of sports and the outdoors with students of all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-green-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-06fac8bc84d841aefa5970687f81a5cf\"><a href=\"ebasargin2@kpbsd.k12.ak.us\"><strong>Title 1\/Migrant Tutor: Elena Basargin<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized is-style-rounded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/kachemak-selo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/04\/005_Basargin_Elena_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3407\" style=\"width:110px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/kachemak-selo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/04\/005_Basargin_Elena_01.jpg 640w, https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/kachemak-selo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/04\/005_Basargin_Elena_01-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/kachemak-selo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/04\/005_Basargin_Elena_01-400x500.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-green-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-1368e39151d18bd5ddcadad4155f914d\"><a href=\"mreutov@kpbsd.k12.ak.us\"><strong>ELL Tutor: Marina Reutov<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/kachemak-selo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/04\/010_Reutov_Marina_01-240x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3409\" style=\"width:113px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/kachemak-selo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/04\/010_Reutov_Marina_01-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/kachemak-selo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/04\/010_Reutov_Marina_01-400x500.jpg 400w, https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/kachemak-selo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/04\/010_Reutov_Marina_01.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-green-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-dbd0d200b409ab11d4c0f4993eda7ea8\"><a href=\"akuzmin@kpnsd.k12.ak.us\"><strong>Custodian: Anna Kuzmin<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized is-style-rounded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/kachemak-selo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/04\/007_Kuzmin_Anna_01-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3438\" style=\"width:110px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/kachemak-selo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/04\/007_Kuzmin_Anna_01-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/kachemak-selo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/04\/007_Kuzmin_Anna_01-1-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/kachemak-selo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/04\/007_Kuzmin_Anna_01-1-400x500.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:20%\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Principal: Mike Wojciak Secretary: Frosia Polushkin My name is Frosia Polushkin.
