If a concern or problem arises at school, it is always best to talk with the person nearest the problem whenever possible.  If additional help is needed, you may contact Principal Ruth Dene by calling the main office at 742-4500, sending a fax to 742-4520, or e-mailing her:  Dene_Ruth@asdk12.org

If you share a concern of a general nature that affects a large part of the student community, contact members of the Montessori Advisory Committee or raise the issue at a parent meeting. The advisory committee cannot address a problem unless they know about it; the committee is here to support the parent base.

You can direct inquiries and concerns about school operations and policies to either Ruth Dene, Principal, Jeanette Hickok (administrative assistant) or Angie Oathout (secretary) in the office. Eddy Pershing, director of building operations, is responsible for the daily school building operations and maintenance.

The Anchorage School District offers several support programs at Denali. If you have a concern about your child, you may contact any of the following support programs for evaluation or guidance.
