You can begin mailing your personal items to the school you are assigned. There is a person at each school assigned to pick up boxes and deliver them to the school. You will want to address your boxes as follows:
"Your Name"
C/O "School Name"
General Delivery
Village Name, AK ZIP
Example:
Robin Jones
C/O Togiak School
General Delivery
Togiak, AK 99678
You may want to send them insured in case of damage or loss. The U.S. Postal service accepts packages weighing up to 70 lbs. As a general rule, the heavier the box, the cheaper the postage. For example, two boxes weighing 5 lbs will cost as much or more than a single box weighing 10 lbs. It’s important to tape and label your boxes clearly
