The Juneau Indian Studies Parent Advisory Committee, as noted in their Bylaws, is to ensure that Title IX, Part A, Subpart I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act is implemented throughout the Juneau School District.  All parents of school-aged children are welcome to attend any and all meetings.  Notices are posted in the Juneau Empire.  This is a wonderful opportunity for parents to advocate for the educational, emotional and social needs of children.

Harborview Elementary Juneau Indian Studies

Indian Studies is funded by the U.S. Department of Education, Title V Indian Education Act,
and supported by the Juneau School District

The primary goals of the Indian Studies Program for the next 3-5 years are:

  • To promote pride in culture, heritage, and self in Native students, along with the acceptance and understanding of Native cultures by non-Native students:
  • To increase the overall academic success of Native students by extending learning to after-school clubs and Saturday sessions. Cultural and language learning, along with academic skills, will be stressed and there will also be fun and recreation;
  • To provide training and support to regular classroom teachers in grades K-8; and
  • To involve parents and families working with the Indian Studies staff, teachers, and students in order to make a difference in each student's academic success.
