Nurse News: COVID-19 update
The CDC came out with a new update that is extremely important for families that are traveling over Spring Break. CLICK HERE to read directly from CDC.
A mandatory 14-day HOME ISOLATION is in effect for all people returning from the following countries with a LEVEL 3 TRAVEL HEALTH NOTICE :
CHINA
IRAN
ITALY
SOUTH KOREA
The Muni Department of Health will ONLY get notification of people returning from CHINA & IRAN which means that the muni will be calling anyone that returns from ONLY IRAN & CHINA; all others returning from ITALY & SOUTH KOREA will be notified at customs of the home isolation requirement and will NOT be monitored by the muni.
The Alaska Department of Health and Social Services has enlisted Alaska 2-1-1 as a resource for handling the large volume of calls from the public with questions regarding Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The 2-1-1 information referral specialists are currently equipped to take and triage such calls, and to refer callers to appropriate resources according to their current procedures. Starting Monday, March 9, the 2-1-1- call center staff will be supplemented with an Alaska Respond volunteer who will be in the call center and able to support the staff. AK Respond volunteers are licensed medical professionals and will be able to lend their health care expertise to this effort. For Alaskans who live in areas where 2-1-1 cannot be accessed, please call 800-478-2221.

Error during intensive registration
Dear parents,
Please note that the price for the Hunter Education and Introduction to Shotgun Sports Intensive is only $70-$100, instead of the price listed during registration ($400-$600). If students are interested in that Intensive instead of the one they registered for, they can go to the Steller ASD website and re-register today. Also, today is the last day to register for Intensives. If they are having any problems with the website, they can come to see Leigh Anne.

Alaska Crossings
Do you have a student who is struggling emotionally or behaviorally?
Alaska Crossings is here to help!
Alaska Crossings is a short-term, intensive residential wilderness behavioral health program dedicated to helping youth learn and develop skills they need to succeed.
Youth who can benefit from Alaska Crossings during the school year include those who have been suspended, are failing classes, or are truant due to emotional and behavioral issues.
Alaska Crossings works with struggling youth to develop individualized coping and behavior management skills that support successful integration back into the school setting upon their return home.
We have immediate placement available for youth ages 12-18!
We can provide a copy of our syllabus to your school so that your school can determine what academic credit may be awarded for participation in the program.
To learn more, or to help a family to begin the application process, please visit our website at www.alaskacrossings.org
