Our Principal

Ms. Jenna Fabian

Principal

As the proud principal of NNS, I am thrilled to greet all our students, families, and community members. Whether you are joining us for the first time or returning for another great year, we are so glad you are here!

At Nikiski North Star, we are incredibly fortunate to have a team of dedicated staff, who choose to commute from across the peninsula, demonstrating their unwavering commitment to providing an enriching educational experience. Supported by our strong and caring community, we strive to create an inspiring, nurturing environment where every student can grow, learn, and thrive.

We wish all of our NNS families a joyful, safe, and relaxing summer break. May it be filled with sunshine, adventure, and well-deserved rest. We cannot wait to welcome you back soon for another amazing school year!

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call us at (907) 776-2600. We are here 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 aims to maintain a teacher-to-student ratio of 1:19, allowing for more personalized instruction and stronger relationships.

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

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.
