The Rapids Report
November 7, 2022
Dear STrEaM Families,
November is Alaska Native & Native American Heritage month.
Join us in celebrating the culture, knowledge, language and traditions of the original Indigenous peoples of Alaska, as well as all of the United States.
Tuesday 11/8 is an asynchronous learning day: there is no school in-person. Teachers have sent out notification on assignments for students to complete on Tuesday. Friday there is no school for Veterans Day: teachers across the district will be in professional development.
STOPit program
ASD is rolling out a new reporting system called STOPit.
Follow this link to read the full letter about STOPit: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GinAjpJ8SdR1lSaZDMAHwFN3PjzaMgBWBC8snC2mEVs/edit?usp=sharing
Future Facilities Discussion
As part of ASD’s proposal to consolidate and repurpose facilities to meet the impending budget shortfall, STrEaM is in consideration to move to Wonder Park Elementary and share this space with Alaska Native Cultural Charter School (ANCCS). Important points regarding this:
This is only a preliminary proposal
The plan must be approved by the ASD school board
Any change for our school must be approved by our APC board
We will follow what is in our charter, including remaining in the East Anchorage area and having adequate access to green space for outdoor education
If approved, the change wouldn't take effect until next fall at the earliest
There will be ample opportunity for discussion and input
If you have thoughts or questions about the potential change, I encourage you to attend the APC meeting Wednesday at STrEaM, and/or reach out to me by email or phone.

Lunch at STrEaM
Please be sure your child packs a lunch. We do not have a lunch program or lunchroom: students must bring a sack lunch. Lunch is generally outdoors unless the weather is prohibitive. We keep emergency lunches on hand, and ask for support with providing these: (link) Lunch donations Nov/Dec
Thanksgiving Food Drive
Anchorage STrEaM Academy is helping the Food Bank of Alaska’s Thanksgiving Blessing Project. STrEaM has been asked to collect Canned Vegetables and Canned Fruit, however all shelf stable food is welcome. For more information see our website.
School Policies
ASA is an Outdoor School. Dress for the weather: We go outside every day!
Students may bring personal electronic devices: our policy is “off and away during the day.” Phones and earphones/earbuds/airpods must be put away
Students may wear hats. Hoods must be off/down in the building
Appropriate and safe conduct is especially important outdoors and off-campus: infractions will result in loss of these privileges
All ASD policies as outlined in the student handbook apply to our school
Quyana!
