Virtual "Make it Monday" forum - Anchorage School District Fourth Quarter Update with Superintendent Bishop

The Anchorage School District is nearing the finish line to the 2020-2021 school year, but there is much to be done, and plenty of opportunities lay ahead for our students. From the  most ambitious summer school offerings yet to in-person graduation, ASD has big plans to learn, grow and celebrate our students’ success, as our community eases into in-person education. Join Anchorage School District Superintendent Dr. Deena Bishop for an update on how schools are safely returning to in-person learning, graduation plans, robust summer learning offerings and more.
