Starting Monday, school days in the Anchorage School District will get a little longer.

After missing days of classes in December due to heavy snowfall, the Anchorage School District School Board“I think it’s good because we have more school and it will make up for the snow days,” Denali Montessori Elementary student Jedidiah Antonio said. “I missed school on the snow days.”“You get to learn lots of new things,” Inlet View Elementary Rai Bosin said.

“I like going to school, but I think that we should do something instead of a bunch of school work, like on some days I think we should do something fun after school,” said Greer Collins of Trailside Elementary. “I appreciate that they’re trying to make that time up and I think it will help kids,” said Bjorn Bjartmarsson, a parent of three students in the Anchorage School District.

“They have piano lessons at five o’clock, so my junior high kid, he has cross-country skiing and that will be half an hour later so we might need to make some accommodations there,” Bjartmarsson said.
