University of Alaska Summer Science Programs

There’s some great science at UAS and UAF this summer for high school students!

Time is of the essence — the window for students to apply is SOON and BRIEF — Feb. 14 – 28 — yep, a two week window, just around the corner.

I hope you’ll take a few minutes to check out Discover Design Research @ UAS (DDR) and Alaska Summer Research Academy (ASRA) at UAF – two stellar camps with one application process.

Ingredients that make these 2 programs successful:
* 12 day residential camps
* 1 college credit
* 8-10 students per module (course), with outstanding instructors
* hands-on, minds-on, challenging academics – students DOING the science and engineering
* University based experience (get a leg up on college!)

The 12th Annual Romig Middle School Cake Auction AND Band, Orchestra and Choir Concert

Come and enjoy a night of entertainment from 348 music students, including some from Steller! They will auction baked goods donated by local bakeries, restaurants and their very own Romig Community.

Prom Dress Code

Winter Prom is Saturday, Feb 5!  This is a reminder that Steller dances adhere to the ASD dress code as stated below.  See you there!  Viking Hall 8-12:00.

All participants in a Steller sponsored dance must follow the Anchorage School District dress code {ASD], as address in the Student Handbook.

Students are not allowed to wear clothing (T-shirts, hats, etc) that display obscenity, profanity, sexual innuendoes;  or pictures that promote or glamorize drugs, tobacco and alcohol, or disrupts student learning and/or the educational process.  This also includes garments with pictures of drugs, tobacco and alcohol or any related paraphernalia.  Clothing that allows for indecent exposure is also prohibited.  For example: clothing that displays the abdomen/navel, midriff, chest (excessive cleavage), dresses follow the “finger tip rule” which is typically no more than 4 inches above the knees, or that allows underwear to show, etc.

If a student arrives at the dance with clothing that does not follow the ASD policy will be asked to:  either change or leave.  Inappropriate attire will not be allowed at the dance.

Chaperones and staff members will be present and behavior that violates ASD policy, such as inappropriate dancing, will result in removal from the dance and a ban from the next dance.  Inappropriate behavior includes, but is not limited to: Moshing, Grinding, Freak Dancing, Slamming, or the use of drugs or alcohol.
