Halito and welcome back to the 2025-2026 school year! It was a busy summer for me with getting files all caught up - which is never-ending, and looking at things for this school year. We had hugely successful Back to School school supply pick up days, where we brought in the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes for their basic school supply pick up and school bags! The NASS program had their headphones, earbuds and calculators on hand as well. We served over 350 Native kids here at Yukon. Remember, JOM is a secondary program for our Native kids. If you didn't sign them up during our back-to-school night (which is when most kids get re-enrolled for the new school year), you can sign up for JOM all throughout the year. Let me know if you need a form, and I'll send it your way.  NASS and JOM do different things, so we want to make sure your student(s) have the full benefits of both programs. All throughout the year I'll be sending out messages with things that pertain to our program such as: JOM (if you are enrolled), cultural things, information from your tribe, or something going on with our schools, using Apptegy. Make sure the district has your correct email so you don't miss this important information. I'm still learning our new informational system, so info right now is slow to make it out. But no worries, I'll catch up!! We welcomed three new staff members to our NASS program who will tutor Title 6 students during the school day. Check out the tutoring info below to see who may be at your school! Any questions, concerns, or ideas you may have, please let me know. Have a great school year!
