Hey, Sea Lions!
I know those of you who have been to the library recently have been able to see lots of new books that arrived this fall while we were remote learning. But even more new books have arrived recently. I haven’t had a chance to get those ready for checkout just yet, but I thought you might enjoy a sneak peek of what’s new!
So I made a video unpacking two boxes of new books that just arrived! To watch the video, visit the Seward Elementary Library website. And email me if you want to place a hold on any of these new books.

Please note: These books will not show up in Alexandria Researcher just yet because I am still working on them. The best way to let me know you’re interested in checking one out is to email me. They will be in Researcher hopefully by next week.
►ALERT: KPBSD schools in the Eastern Kenai Peninsula* will open with a TWO HOUR DELAY START on THURSDAY, January 14, 2021, due to weather and road conditions.
If weather and road conditions warrant a full closure for any schools, that announcement will be made about 7:00 AM. If you don’t hear anything, the two-hour delay start remains in effect.Parents and guardians, if you decide, based on conditions near you to keep your child at home, absences will be excused.
*A two hour delay means that morning buses run two hours later than normal, school begins two hours later than normal, staff arrives at school two hours later than normal, and both morning and afternoon Pre-K sessions are cancelled. The school day ends at the normal time.

Dear KPBSD staff and families,“With the dawning of a new year, growing daylight, and a vaccine to help control the spread of the COVID-19 virus, we are planning for a return to more normalcy for our schools in 2021. We are excited for the return of our students to in person onsite learning no later than mid-January, and possibly as soon as January 11, 2021. 2020 has been an extremely difficult year for all of us but I am confident that 2021 will bring with it brighter days and more certainty in our everyday lives. Our dedicated building administrators and staff are busy planning all the details to safely welcome students back into schools. Schools have enhanced mitigation plans and safety measures to ensure that students, staff, and visitors are safe, and that learning for our students will be optimal. Thank you all for your steadfast resilience and dedication to the education, safety, and well-being of KPBSD students, educators, and support staff.”
– Superintendent John O’Brien
