Sports:

Sign up for Middle and High School Fall Sports is happening at all the high schools.   If your student wants to participate in a Fall Sport, make sure you have the correct forms to fill out.

You can find these at:

http://www.asdk12.org/activities/

In the top right hand corner there are differentiated links. We have Romig Sports paperwork at the office as well.

Parking:

It is school board policy that all students that park in the school district parking lots must have a parking permit and that permit will cost $55.00 per semester. Students must pick up a Vehicle Registration and Parking form from the office. Please pay for the permit online through Zangle Parent Connection.

Vehicle safety is important. Please do not speed in the driveway or parking lot. Do not overload your car with passengers, as this is very dangerous for all concerned. Please make sure you drive responsibly. Our school is about responsible freedom, which means in this case to make proper choices before accidents occur. We encourage all visitors to check in at the office. This allows us to know who is in the building for security and fire purposes and helps alleviate confusion about non-permitted cars in Steller’s parking lot.

Fire Lane:

The front access drive is a Fire Lane. Dropping off and picking students up is fine, but we must keep the fire lane clear. Please restrict from idling in front of the school.

Steller Safety:

Safety at Steller is of high importance to the staff. A safe environment is essential to students. I would like to address a few of the safety issues.

• Stay in a group when leaving the school for lunch or walking to a bus. Stay in the open when at all possible. If anyone approaches you that you do not know, be wary and avoid conflict; seek the nearest safe place and report the situation immediately.
• If there is a person or a student in our building you know does not belong to the school, please let a staff member know right away. Avoid confrontation; let the staff member find out more information and their purpose at Steller.
• Riding bikes to and from school: Please do not ride bikes on the school sidewalks or parking lots – WALK THEM. Remember to wear helmets at all times when riding a bike on school property.
• Skateboards may not be ridden on school property

Thank you for your help in our safety

Steller Community:

It is with great pride I welcome all of our new and returning students and families to Steller Secondary School for the 2015-16 School Year. I wonder what amazing things students and teachers will come up with this year? I am looking forward to being inspired and in awe of the directions we will go.

We have had a few changes in staff this year. I can’t wait for you to meet our newcomers.

Please welcome:

Becky Gerik                           Language Arts/Social Studies

Jason Collins                        Math

Marianne Pedersen            Counselor

Simone Sanders                   Special Education/Resource

And in a different teaching position:

Mike Moore                           Science

I hope you are ready for supreme effort, cooperation, and to broaden your understanding while sharing and gaining confidence of the world. I expect you all to come ready to make a difference, seek new experiences, and to make Steller the best educational program while experiencing the (responsible) freedom of choice and thoughtfulness.

If you need help, we are here; you have ideas and inspiration, we are here. There are many paths to make and follow… while you’re at it, take a few colleagues along.

Our Lounge Committee really out did them, we have a beautiful lounge to make your own.

See you in the halls, and classrooms or come into the office and say hello, Wren will be glad to see you too.
