Hola! The Steller Talent Show 2015 has been rescheduled to Friday March 27th. Early auditions on Tuesday Feb. 17th at lunch. Final auditions on Tuesday March 17th at lunch. Contact Marla or Rosa for any additional information. We cannot wait to see all of the Steller Talent!!! Thank you so much! Between finals and the 3 day weekend we had a number of students that did not feel like they had enough time to prepare so we are revising the dates.  Saludos, Rosa Hohnstein

Parents, The AMP (Alaska Measures of Performance) testing of grades 7-10 will replace the SBA’s (Standard Based Assessments) given in the month of April. Science SBA’s will still be given to 8th and 10th grade students. The tests are computer based and have a section of Language Arts and of Math. A majority of our students took part a week ago in a practice test for the experience of the type of questions and tools available (highlighting, different calculators, etc). The district was also testing our network, concluding a two year IT project, which handled the traffic as expected. The Steller schedule for testing is being finalized; students will be testing by grade and by IEP ( Individual Education Plan) if applicable.  See parent guide HERE . If you have questions please call Reed at 745-4950
