STEM ACADEMY OF HOLLYWOOD

There are only two more days for the school year to be over. Students will be dismissed at 1:25 on Monday and Tuesday. See Bell Schedule for more details.

As we embark upon a much-deserved Summer break, we want to take the time to thank you for entrusting us with your children this academic school year.

You are encouraged to use the break as an opportunity to connect with your families and engage in self-care for yourselves. Some different ways to connect include: engaging your children and teens in meaningful conversations to learn more about their interests, spending one-on-one time with loved ones, making intentional efforts to learn about and getting to know your children’s friends, limiting your children’s screen time, and monitoring any social media activity.

The Summer months can be a restful and joyous time, however for some it can be stressful or emotionally challenging. If you or a loved one are in need of emotional support or assistance during the break, take a look at the resources included with this newsletter.

On behalf of the STEM Academy of Hollywood community, we wish you a wonderful Summer break. We look forward to seeing you in the new academic school year.

Sincerely,

Marly Escobar Suarez
