The Joint Science Education Project (JSEP) and the Joint Antarctic  School Expedition (JASE) invite high school students in their junior  year to apply for two National Science Foundation (NSF)-supported polar science exploration programs. The JSEP project will take place in Greenland and the JASE project will be located in Antarctica and the Chilean Antarctic Institute in Chile.

    The three-week JSEP program takes place entirely in Greenland.   Participants from the United States, Denmark, and Greenland live and work together while exploring current research and completing their own inquiry-based investigations. The program includes two weeks of extensive field experiences near Kangerlussuaq and a final week with a visit to Summit Station, the U.S. research facility located at the top of the Greenland ice sheet.

    The one- to two-week JASE program takes place in King George Island,  Antarctica. Students from the United States join a Chilean high school expedition to Escudero Base on King George Island. The program includes visits to international research stations and field sites in Antarctica as well as the Chilean Antarctic Institute in the Patagonia region of Chile. JASE participants must be fluent in Spanish.

    Both programs provide an opportunity for students to connect with polar scientists as they conduct research in a wide variety of fields including biology, geology, climatology, chemistry, and engineering. The successful candidates will also have significant hands-on experiences in  field research under the guidance of professional teachers from the participating nations.

    JSEP and JASE are open to U.S. citizens or permanent residents in the 11th grade at the time of application. Students may apply for one or both programs using the same application. NSF’s Division of Polar Programs covers all costs, including food, transportation, lodging, and instruction for students selected to participate.

    Application deadline: 15 February 2017.

February 1st will be an Activity Day at Steller Secondary. The focus of the day will be the movie Most Likely to Succeed, which is a documentary film about our education system, that highlights a self-directed school. We are using the film as a way to start a conversation with students about how our program is centered around self-directed learning, and how we can be doing a better job at promotting self-direction and student engagement. The movie will be shown at the Beartooth starting between 10:30 and 11:00 and parents are welcome to join. The student Operation Group is providing some pizza for students, but students are welcome to bring money to buy additional food. Please sign the attached permission slip and have your student bring it to their advisor. The schedule for Wednesday the 1st is as follows:

There are only 3 more days left to register for the Discover program in February with Jason. You can still register after January 28, but there is a $25 late fee and no one wants to pay that! So go to http://www.alyeskaresort.com/mountain/learning-center-discover-program to register today. Make sure you select Block 3 if you want to go with Jason and choose the Sears Mall pick up location. This is a great way to get outside during the sometimes cold and dark month of February. These will be some of the first days that sun shines on Mighty Might up at the top. With all the snow we’ve been getting, it’s sure to be a great time. Come see Jason if you have questions.

The Veterinary Science program at King Career Center teaches students the principles and practices of working as a Veterinary Assistant in the Veterinary Hospital.  Students also learn about the many other opportunities there are within the Veterinary Field.  Students accomplish this not only through theory, but also through hands on learning experiences.

The program runs a Doggie Daycare Monday through Friday from 7:30 am to 2:30 pm, but is closed when the school is closed.  The daycare ensures that students have routine exposure to animals and get comfortable working with them.  This can only be accomplished through repetition of handling and restraint techniques.  This is not only a positive experience for the students, but for the dogs as well.

During daycare, pets get playtime and can also receive multiple grooming services. Every pet gets plenty of attention, several walks a day, free access to water, and a whole lot of love!!!!

Please see this flyer, that includes our contact information, required vaccinations, and a list of services and suggested donations.  Donations go toward the Student Activities Fund which pays for field trips, guest speakers, and the Wildlife Ambassadors that come to the class. 
Thank you for supporting the program! – KCC DoggieDaycare flyer
