The GoGuardian Parent app is a mobile app designed to provide parents/guardians insight and control over their student's online activity when on school-managed devices and accounts.
The GoGuardian Parent app provides you with an additional set of internet controls that you can set for out-of-school hours. GoGuardian Parent was created to help provide students with additional educational support and is a companion to the classroom engagement and internet filtering tools that our schools use.

Green Zone Survey Results
We appreciate your feedback on the recent survey. The majority of parents prefer to pick up their students in the gym rather than outside in the Green Zone, so we will continue this practice for the remainder of the year. Next year, we will implement the Pick My Kid app for check-ins in the Green Zone, similar to how we do for the Blue Zone.
Morning Drop Off Procedures
We are seeing some safety concerns in the morning and would like to review the expectations for morning drop off.
First, please decide what drop off area is right for your family.
If your student(s) can open their own door and have their backpacks and supplies ready to go once you stop, then curbside drop off is an option for your students.
Curbside drop and go procedures:
*Pull into the school and head towards the front office loop.
*Once you stop at the sidewalk, students are to exit cars immediately and then walk to the front entrance of the school via the sidewalk.
* Wait for the cars in front of you to move. Do not go around another vehicle to ensure the safety of the students.
* If your student cannot be ready when you stop, and cannot open their own door, please use the Park and Walk method.
If your student(s) are unable to exit the vehicle by themselves or are unable to be prepared to get out when your vehicle stops at the curb, then park and walk is the option to use.
Park and Walk:
*Pull into the school and park in the lower parking lot area
*Walk your student to the crosswalk (Do not allow students to walk through the parking lot without an adult)
*Students may cross on their own or with you when the crossing guard signals that it is safe.
Books and Breakfast
Please join us for this free Title 1 event in the Gym at Finger Lake Elementary on Tuesday, November 19th or Wednesday, November 20th from 8:30am-9:00am for a light breakfast and a book giveaway.
We have some great winter themed books to give to students that show up and will provide a light breakfast, at no charge to you.
This is a family event, so students must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. No drop offs allowed.
Our Principal, Mrs. Palmer and Instructional Coach, Ms. McDonald, will be available to answer any questions you may have regarding I- Ready, the Alaska Reads Act and our Title 1 plan.
Dress for Recess!
It is that time of year to pull out heavier coats, hats, gloves and winter boots. Recess is 30 minutes and we want to ensure all students are prepared for winter conditions. Please let us know if you are unable to provide appropriate winter gear for your child.
Per district policy, we go out to recess unless it is colder than -10 degrees (including windchill). Thank you!
