Native American Education Services
Snowflake Unified School District’s Native American Education Program receives funding from Title VII and Johnson-O’Malley. The purpose of the funding is to meet the unique academic and cultural needs of our Native American/Alaska Native students. Areas of focus include reading, math, attendance, dropout prevention, and tribal/cultural history.
The goal of the Native American Education Services is to supplement current and existing programs as well as provide resources that are available at Snowflake Unified School District and within the community.
The Native American Education Department operates with assistance from our local Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) and Native American Education Committee (NEC), which are comprised of parents/guardians of enrolled Native American students within our district. The NEC and PAC advise the Native American education coordinator with implementation and direction of the Snowflake USD Native American Education Program.
Please make sure to check our calendar (below) for an up-to-date list of events and meetings.
