Travel

Travel arrangements to your school site should be made through the district travel coordinator. Travel itineraries will be routed through Anchorage (Alaska’s largest city) and King Salmon (the Lake and Peninsula Regional Hub).

From Anchorage, King Salmon is accessible only by air. Travel to all school sites is by local air taxi.

Housing

The Lake and Peninsula School District leases housing to its staff at school sites. Rental rates vary with each individual unit. All units contain plumbing and conventional electric services.

Contact Laura Hylton for detailed information about your living arrangements.

What to Pack

Temperatures are not as extreme as in the interior region of Alaska or northern parts of the “Lower 48” states. You should expect rain and mud in the Fall and Spring.
