Weekly Announcements
09.01.23
Thank you for attending our Curriculum Night this week. It is wonderful to have so many families attend and support our school.
This week was Safety Week at Steck. Each day all classes spent time learning about how to be safe at school. These lessons were developed by teachers and presented in an age-appropriate way. These are the topics we learned about:
-listen to adults
-be alert
-move with a purpose
-exit awareness
-meeting place
-situation awareness
-how to get help
Next week we will practice safety drills. I will send a separate letter from our school district about these drills. For the comfort and preparedness of students and staff, we do not participate in unannounced drills.
We do not have school on Monday, September 4 due to Labor Day. Students do not have school on Tuesday, September 5 due to a School Improvement Planning Day. On days like this school staff spend time learning new things and planning for instruction to support our School Improvement Plan. I will share more information about our plan at a later date.
Upcoming Dates:
9/4 No School - Labor Day
9/5 No School - School Improvement Planning Day
9/8 School Picture Day
9/8 PTA Game Night
9/26 1st Grade P. E. Night

Popsicle Celebration
Our school is working hard to learn school routines and expectations. These are called our Eagle I's (I will be respectful, responsible, safe, and ready). When each class completes our back to school lessons, we will have a reward of a popsicle party. You can see the ingredient list and nutrition facts here. Please tell your child's teacher by September 8 if your child cannot have this popsicle.
