Academic Competitions

The AMC8 is a national contest and will be administered digitally this year on November 10th. Exact times will be announced at a future date. Families will be responsible for proctoring their student’s exam and providing reliable internet access. Registration fees are covered by the district. This assessment is designed for high-achieving and highly-competitive Mathematics students.

Any student who is interested should fill out this form. This form must be completed before October 21st to sign up for the official contest. Interested students will be asked to take a practice test. They will receive a confirmation email after submitting their form.

Please work with your student to establish realistic goals before they choose to take the official test. Students may instead choose to take the test unofficially and score their own work in a non-competitive setting. Practice materials for The AMC8 can be found here: https://artofproblemsolving.com/wiki/index.php/AMC_8_Problems_and_Solutions

Please contact Mr. Nelson directly should you have any questions and/or concerns.

Message Updated October 12th, 2020

Earlier this year OBOB decided that it would not run Regional or Statewide competitions this year. With the announcement that CDL will continue through February 8th, it will be impossible to run a safe and effective program at Stoller this year.

If we all work together to practice social distancing, mask wearing, and other safety measures, we can plan on a robust OBOB program in 2021-22.

Stoller's Science Fair will be virtual this year. Stoller's Prequalifying fair will be February 1st - February 12th.

North West Science Expo will also be virtual this year. If students qualify through the Stoller Fair their application will be due April 14th.

More information will be coming out soon.

Sign-ups for You Be The Chemist are coming. Students in 6th - 8th grade are eligible to compete in teams of four (4). Start putting your teams together and continue to watch the Stoller Weekly and here for sign-up information.  

You Be The Chemist is an entirely free program (no registration fee).  Please visit You be the Chemist for information about this competition.
