How Steller Parent Group Communicates with You
September 2024
Dear Steller Community,
The mission of the Steller Parent Group is to promote involvement in school activities, to solicit address, and make recommendations regarding issues and policies facing the Steller Community, and to support fundraising activities and facilitate the disbursement of those funds.
Steller Parent Group wants to make sure that we are reaching as many members of our community with up to date and relevant information as possible. We have three ways we communicate with you:

Please refer to the Steller Parent Group Website for anything pertaining for SPG – including Meeting Dates, Agendas, and Minutes, ByLaws, Volunteer Opportunities, and the Student Showcase where students can share their accomplishments.
- Steller Secondary Parent Group is a closed Facebook Group created to promote communication between current parents, teachers, and staff for organizing school activities, announcements, questions, and keeping up with everything that is going on. Feel free to jump in with questions or posts sharing things that might be of interest to our community.

Steller Community at it’s Best!
The 2024 Steller BBQ on Tuesday was a stellar success!
Certainly our biggest BBQ in the last six years, we think we had about 550 staff, students and their families in attendance. The weather cooperated and it was great to be able to spread out in the field. It was wonderful seeing old friends reconnect, and new friendships started!
Of course an event like this wouldn’t be possible without a whole slew of volunteers working behind the scenes. This year we had about 30 adult volunteers and a great group of 10 students helping to make everything run smoothly in the Steller tradition.
Thank you to everyone!

A Welcome Message from the Steller Parent Group
Dear families,
Steller Parent Group wants to extend a warm welcome to all new and returning Steller families. Steller is a special place, with a unique philosophy of learning: inspiring a community of independent, confident, self-directed learners and we are sure you are going to love it here as much as we do.
The Steller Parent Group is an integral part of the Steller Community. The purpose of the SPG is to enrich the lives of Steller students through the financial support and leadership from all active parents and guardians. We strive to promote parent and guardian involvement in school activities. To this end we host events during the school year, such as the start of the year BBQ, All Community Meetings and Annual Movie Day and we raise funds to support school initiatives through Cups4Kids, and coordinate volunteers whenever they are needed.
All of this takes the hard work and dedication of our community members. We think parental participation is more important now than it ever has been, and want to invite you to get involved and share your ideas. Each one of us has different skills, talents, and resources that are very much needed to make Steller what it is. For some it is volunteering to help a class, for others, it is heading up or joining a committee. Even simply attending our monthly meetings helps create community. We have tasks that need to be done during the day, in the evening, and many that don’t even require coming to school. We all want the very best education and experience for our children, and when we work together we can make it happen.
