Welcome Back!

Welcome to Steller Secondary School!  By this time your sons and daughters have already filled you in on some of the most important details of life at Steller — whether the other kids are friendly, what the teachers are like, the importance of lunchtime, and whether Steller seems easier or harder that the school they last attended.  Now that everyone has had some time to settle in, we hope all the students, new and returning, feel as if they are home.

We are pleased to have you, the parents/guardians, as partners during this educational year.  As the year progresses, and as you become either more informed or more puzzled, we encourage you to call, email, or stop by the school to talk to those who might be able to help.  If your questions deal with in-class events, please make arrangements, by phone or email, to speak with the teacher.

One of our goals at Steller is to make it easier for parents/guardians to also feel at home — like the students themselves.  To that end, we send the school newsletters to your home (or computer) throughout the school year, providing you with information about events and activities. We schedule Parent Meetings and All-Community Meetings to share information with you,  and many other opportunities to volunteer.  In fact, we encourage you to volunteer!  Steller is one school where parents truly are an integral part of everyday life.

You will also want to look at your son’s/daughter’s copy of the Steller Student Handbook after they have received them.  It does a good job of explaining a typical year at our school.  By taking the time to read it, you will have a better idea of what to expect.

Steller offers complete academic programs with the flexibility to meet your student’s individual needs; however, the school cannot do it all.  Your interest, your involvement, your support, and your parental guidance have never been more important than right now and during the next few years.

We are glad to have you with us this year, and we want to assure you that we will do our best to help your child experience academic, social, and emotional growth.  With your help and cooperation, this will be an excellent school year!
