Conferences Week of October 23rd

Hello Steller Parents/Guardians! It’s that time of year again.

Fall Conferences will take place on October 25, 26, and 27. These will be student-led conferences that include the student, parent/guardian(s), and the advisor, but will be led by your child. Our goal is to have 100% attendance so all Steller students have the opportunity to show off their strengths and talk about areas they need to improve. Conferences can be scheduled a number of ways, the best of which is with the district’s online scheduler. Do so by following the steps below:

  1. Go to http://www.asdk12.org/ConferenceScheduling/StudentScheduleStartExt.aspx  This is can be reached by going to the district web page, clicking on Parent conferences on the left, and then on the Middle School conference scheduler;

  2. Choose Steller as the school;

  3. Choose 7th grade! (In order to work the system, all conferences are scheduled as 7th graders. It is the square peg into a round hole thing);

  4. For Team Name, choose your student’s ADVISOR (Conferences will be with the advisor, if you want to meet with classroom teachers, you will need to schedule a meeting outside of the conference dates. Your student’s advisor will have forms to request meetings);

  5. Choose the date you wish to come in; and

  6. Choose your time and continue through the process. You can sign up to receive a reminder email. If you need to cancel your appointment time, you will have to email your advisor.
