►ALERT: TWO-HOUR Delay Start
Nikiski Middle-High School, Nikiski Northstar Elementary, Moose Pass and Seward schools will open with a TWO-HOUR DELAY START* on Tuesday, February 22, 2022, in response 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. All Pre-K sessions—both morning and afternoon—at these schools are cancelled during a two-hour delay start.

A two-hour delay means that morning buses run two hours later than normal, school begins two hours later than normal, and Pre-K sessions are cancelled. The school day ends at the normal time.

All other KPBSD schools will open on a normal schedule.

*TWO-HOUR Delay Start for these KPBSD schools

• Moose Pass School
• Nikiski Middle-High School
• Nikiski North Star Elementary School
• Seward Elementary School
• Seward High School
• Seward Middle School

Be safe. Parents and guardians, if school is open and you decide to keep your child at home based on weather and road conditions near you, absences or late arrivals will be excused.

Thank you!

Thank you for your effort in the past two weeks to keep as many people attending school in person. Our school will no longer require universal masking beginning 2/3/2022. However, we strongly encourage face coverings indoors at school. Factors that impacted this decision include reduction of positive COVID-19 cases in schools; less identified close contacts and a lower student absenteeism rate; available staffing and substitute teachers; local hospital and ICU capacity; community transmission rates, and ability to physical distance in our school.
