Stebbins Families -
We will have a 1:00 PM early release this Friday, 9/30, for all students.
Staff are required to attend a mandatory District training at 1:30.
When a child has no-one in their family who can advocate for their educational needs, the school will appoint an “Educational Surrogate Parent.” This is an unpaid position / volunteer position.
WHAT is an EDUCATIONAL SURROGATE PARENT?
The Surrogate Parent helps the education team make educational decisions. Historically, we have been very lucky in Stebbins. If a child’s parents are not available for educational consultations, there is usually an aunt, uncle, or grandparent who comes and advocates for the student's educational needs. A child's relatives or guardian do not need training to step into the roll of a students Educational advocate.
Annually, the Bering Strait School District provides training for anyone willing to volunteer to help a student who has no mother, father, aunt, uncle, grandparents, etc. The volunteer advocates for the student's educational needs. The school district office provides training.
If you are interested in volunteering to become an Educational Surrogate Parent, please come to the surrogate parent training:
FRIDAY, October 7, 2022 @ 2:30 p.m.
at Tukurngailnguq School – Room 138.
If you cannot attend, but still wish to be trained, please call the BSSD Special Education Department at (907) 624-4278 and ask for the Special Education Director.
