We need donors for this year's Auction!

Do you own a really rad company? Do you have a unique skill or talent? We need donors for this years auction! We often auction items off like gift cards or community experiences and even classroom art made by the students.

If you would like to lead a community experience, like fly fishing lessons or yoga classes, email Darcy Maupin at darcymaupin@gmail.com. And if you would like to donate a gift card please email Amanda at aneill@ansercharterschool. Your donations help us fundraise so that we can ensure all educational experiences are accesible to all of our students.

Raku Firing Fun

Anne's ceramic elective had a very adventurous week last week learning to Raku fire! Raku firing is a technique where pieces are pulled red hot from the kiln and put into flammable materials like newspaper or sawdust. The oxidation reaction with the flammable materials creates vibrant, iridescant colors as seen on our students projects! Way to go Anne and her crew!

JH Guest Speaker

Last Friday there was a guest speaker who led several science activities with our JH students! They learned about glaciers and snowpack and did several experiments that can mimic glacial movement.

Parent Survey

One of the pieces of Idaho’s new school accountability system is a parent survey. This survey asks for your input on several topics to help measure how our school meets your needs.

To access the survey, visit https://eprovesurveys.advanc-ed.org/surveys/#/action/184180/p58740 .Then pick Anser Charter School from the drop-down menu.

The survey should take 5-10 minutes to complete, and your responses are anonymous. You can submit your survey by April 1st.

Student Led Conferences and Learning Celebrations

In 2^nd-8^th grade the week of March 14^th will be a busy one! Some grade levels will be hosting in person Student Led Conferences. Others will share their student’s work through a Covid-safe Exhibition Night. Both Student Led conferences and Exhibition Nights are among the ways students communicate their learning to their parent/guardians at Anser. Both offer a view into your child’s learning and offer a chance for them to share it with you. Please be on the lookout for an email from your 2^nd-8^th grade children’s Crew Leader for more details about signing up or attending.
