The schools are set up the same so if you go from Arctic Light on post to one off post you will find them to be set up the same. They are currently going to be redistricting the schools so if your child is going to one this year it may not be the one they will be attending next year.

They do not have days for snow so expect your child to be school each day and they do have recess for the kids and can be outside to -20. It may seem much but the kids don?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t seem to mind.
