Knowing is not enough; we must apply. \u00e2\u20ac\u00a8Willing is not enough; we must do.
\nJohann Wolfgang von Goethe<\/em>

\nAccountability<\/strong><\/p>\n

Steller epitomizes the term, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Home School\u00e2\u20ac\u009d for me.\u00c2\u00a0 It is a home school because more than any school I have worked in Steller belongs to the community, students and staff.\u00c2\u00a0 As I walk around in the building I see students sitting and talking with each other- everyday, all day I see parents coming and going asking questions, volunteering, participating in the educational process.\u00c2\u00a0 They participate as teachers in some instances but always as concerned community members.\u00c2\u00a0 Steller encourages transparency and accountability right down to its core.<\/p>\n

Transparency and accountability are two major factors that drive the success rate of a school in a positive direction.\u00c2\u00a0 The Anchorage School District recognizes this fact and has provided the tools necessary for community members, and staff to rate its members.\u00c2\u00a0 You will find detailed information here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I encourage you to participate in this process, your comments will serve as a catalyst to our improvement.<\/p>\n

Intensives<\/strong><\/p>\n

Students have taken the survey for their choices for intensives, they have submitted intents for the intensive class offering they would most like to take and or now they are in the process of enrolling into their choices.\u00c2\u00a0 It seems that we have quite a few students that have not signed up for any of the offerings at this time.\u00c2\u00a0 Parents please discuss the advantages of intensives as you enjoy daily conversations with your child.\u00c2\u00a0 Encourage them to sign up for one of the current offerings in a timely manner.\u00c2\u00a0 We really need your support in this effort.<\/p>\n

Course descriptions for the intensives have been posted on the website and at school.\u00c2\u00a0 Please review those options with your child and together you can select the best choice for your child.<\/p>\n

I realize that at this time we all are facing hardships with the economy in such disarray, gas prices still around $3.00 a gallon, food prices soaring and on it goes.\u00c2\u00a0 However, I count each day that I awaken a good one.\u00c2\u00a0 Each day holds the potential to transform our lives in many serendipitous ways.\u00c2\u00a0 And, for these reasons I hope you all have a glorious Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n
