What is Delta Cyber School?
Delta Cyber School is an online public school open to all Alaskan students ages 5-19. It is free of charge to any Alaskan student not attending another public school. Tuition-based courses are also available for public school students. All coursework is delivered online and taught by Alaskan teachers. Our elementary program requires considerable parental involvement, but all middle school and high school coursework is delivered and graded by our teachers; parents are asked to serve as mentors to encourage their students to work but are not required to do any teaching or grading. Students have immediate access to their teachers through instant web-conferencing and/or phone from 8:30 to 3:45 Monday through Friday. For further information, contact Sherry Smith at ssmith01@dgsd.k12.ak.us. (877) 895-1043 We look forward to working with you!

Perhaps you have heard of the Child Find on the radio or television, or read about it in the newspaper. It is a statewide effort to locate and identify children ages 3-21 who are either in or out of school and in need of a specialized education program.
Alaska's legal regulations along with federal regulations (P.L. 93-381 and P.L. 94-142) guarantee that all school age children have the right to a free public education. There are, however, children not attending for other reasons. Even though you most likely do not have a child in your home who is of school age but not attending school, you may know about a child like this.
Please join and support this campaign to locate unserved children. If you know of such a child, call (907) 895-4657, or send information to:
