The district will start qualifying new Migrant Students beginning the first day of school. Did your family do migrant activities this summer including commercial fishing, subsistence fishing, berry harvesting (on public lands outside of the borough), or logging activities? Did you participate in these activities outside of our borough boundaries? (North by Juneau, further west than Totem or Portage, or South by Wrangell) If so, don't hesitate to contact Carlee or Mara to see if you qualify for Migrant Education.
