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. 

If you are interested in learning more about SPG positions please let us know, and as always, we welcome your thoughts and ideas about how Steller Parent Group can serve you. 

2024-2025 we are celebrating our 50th Anniversary.

Warm regards,

*Please note the SPG website/Flash is meant to complement the district website asdk12.org/steller.  For official communication from the school and district please visit Q to update your contact information and settings to receive their communications via email, text or call. 

Warm regards,

Dee Dee Zobian & Sarah Burke
