Unalaska City School District

UCSD Families,

It is with appreciation for his service that I share that Mr. Mark Alston has submitted his resignation for personal reasons. We thank him for his leadership and the positive impact he has had during his time with us.

To ensure a smooth transition, leadership responsibilities are shifting to Ms. Greta Bruce (Eustace). While Mr. Alston will be missed, Ms. Bruce (Eustace) and the UCS staff are fully committed to our vision and confident in the meaningful and caring work ahead.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the school office or reach out to me directly at khanisch@ucsd.net or (907) 351-7706.

Sincerely,
Kim Hanisch, Supt.
Unalaska City School District

UCSD School Board has agreed to make a few changes to the meeting days, times and format. Included in these changes are:
1) Meeting days to be on Tuesdays instead of Wednesdays
2) The 1st Tuesday of each month will be a Work Session Meeting
3) The 3rd Tuesday of each month will be a Regular Session Meeting

As before, Regular Session Board Meetings will include official business and are used to make formal decisions. Public comment is invited during these meetings. On the other hand, Work Session Board Meetings are informational and discussion-focused to allow for a deeper dive into future topics without the pressure of immediate decision-making or official actions made. The public is invited to attend these sessions, but public comments are not invited.

Update on swim meet on 9/5 and 9/6.
