Shannon is planning an intensive to the Galapagos Islands for the school year of 2010-2011 (August/December/May). Jean will be the lead teacher for this trip. This will need parent help for fundraising and planning. There is a meeting at school for interested students in Jean’s room this Wednesday 28th January at 12pm – please have your student attend to get more info about this possibility.
Is your student interested in Marine Science?
We have the opportunity to spend a week here and a week in Cordova looking closely at this topic during the May intensives 2009. Please let Shannon know if you (your child) would be interested in helping get this off the ground – we already have two students working on grants for this and there may be other things we can do if I know I have the student/parent interest.
During the winter Intensive, a beautifully hand-crafted quilt was designed and created by students at Steller. This lovely quilt is on display in the front office and is now being auctioned off through a silent auction for charity. The proceeds will go toward creating warm children’s blankets for the pediatric unit at Providence Hospital. The highest bidder will not only walk away with a warm, beautiful quilt, but also the warm feeling of giving back to others. All you have to do is print your name, number, and donation on the form in the office. The highest bidder by the deadline wins the prize. The form and quilt can be located on the display case inside the office.
It will also be available for viewing prior to the Talent Show on Thursday.
Don’t miss out on this great opportunity.
The auction will end February 13th.
Thanks,
Michelle

The TerraNova is a norm-referenced standardized achievement test that is part of the Alaska Comprehensive System of Student Achievement (CSSA). The state requires the school districts to test grades 5 and 7. These grades will also participate in the statewide administration of the Standards-Based Assessment in April.
The TerraNova will be administered to students in grades 5 and 7 on February 3-4, 2009. The dates schools can schedule make-up testing for the TerraNova are February 5-10.
The required sub-tests are timed and include reading, language, and mathematics. The TerraNova individual student results are reported in national percentile scores. The student’s achievement is compared with that of the national sample of students upon which the test was normed. By administering a norm-referenced test, we are able to gauge how our students in the Anchorage School District perform compared to students who were in the national norm group.
Each individual school will set their testing and make-up schedules. The combined length of the tests is 165 minutes with additional time required for test distribution and reading of directions.
Parents are asked to help by having their students rested and ready for testing on the testing days. Eating a nutritious breakfast is important. Please have your student to school on time and avoid scheduling appointments on the testing dates.
