Our Principal

Ms. Jenna Fabian

Principal

As the proud principal of NNS, I want to extend a warm welcome back to all of our students, families, staff, and community members as we kick off the 2026–2027 school year!

As a brand-new school year begins, I am filled with excitement and gratitude for the continued support, partnership, and dedication that make Nikiski North Star such a special place. Together, we are ready to build on our past successes, celebrate new growth and learning, and create countless fresh moments of joy across our school community.

Whether your summer was filled with travel, outdoor adventures, family time, or simply slowing down and relaxing, I hope you are returning refreshed, recharged, and ready for an incredible year ahead.

We are thrilled to welcome both returning faces and new families to our halls as we chart new paths together this year. Thank you for being such an important part of our North Star team.

Here’s to a safe, happy, and unforgettable school year!

If you have any questions as we settle into the new school year, please do not hesitate to call 907-776-2600. We are always happy to help.

We are a K-5 School

At Nikiski North Star, we are proud to offer a dynamic and supportive learning environment with a variety of opportunities for student engagement. We follow the Small Elementary School Staffing Model, which supports personalized instruction and stronger relationships.

For the upcoming school year, our classroom structure will include: Kindergarten (two sections), 1st Grade (two sections), 2nd Grade, 3rd Grade (two sections), 4th Grade, 4th/5th Grade, and 5th grade.

Our integrated Specials program follows a STREAM model—Science, Technology, Recreation, Engineering, the Arts (Music, Theater, and Dance), and Mathematics. Each student participates in a well-rounded rotation that includes three days of Physical Education, one day in the Lab, and one day in the Arts Room.

We also offer several intramural sports opportunities for intermediate students, including cross country running, cross country skiing, and basketball, encouraging teamwork, perseverance, and a strong sense of belonging within our school community.
