Schools & Child Care

 

 

Schools

Families living on-post at Fort Wainwright are served by the Fairbanks North Star Borough school district. New students need to enroll at the school they will be attending. For more information, visit the school district website by clicking "Go" below.

A copy of the child’s birth certificate is required for all pupils entering kindergarten and for first graders who haven’t been enrolled in the district before. All new students must submit proof of immunization before being admitted. Please bring a copy of the student’s transcript or report card to help with class placement. Also, proof of residency (lease, utility bill such as phone, water, electric, etc.) is required at the time of registration.

 

Childcare

The first step in participating in CYS Programs and activities is registration. Create your account/household profile at www.militarychildcare.com, so you can waitlist your child for care. The second step is to visit Parent Central Services at Building 3414 Rhineland Avenue to complete the registration process.

 

Play Areas

Have fun year-round in our community playground or indoor playroom.
