Ayaprun School

We are sad to see the Ayaprun school close down, and will miss it.

However, with the shift to Mertarvik Pioneer School, future posts and school announcements will be made there. If you want to follow school activities, please follow that site.

Thank you to the Ayaprun School staff for all you do to continue to hold school in-person despite facility challenges and to the students and community for your perseverance.

Unfortunately, the generators aren't repairable. We are going to try to power the toyo stoves at the school with a portable generator, so classrooms will have heat. We hope to be up and running and have classes as usual on Thursday and Friday.

03/24/2024

We're still waiting for a generator part, so no school yet.

We have great news. The State has agreed to waive the days we have been closed, so we don't have to make them up!

We can have optional summer school in Mertarvik, though. We're considering this as a possibility. If you would like your kids to come to school in the summer, please leave us a message. We need to get an idea of how many people would be interested to know if it's something to do.
