Principal's Message
Hello STEM Families!
Well we survived the cold. By Friday, the kids (and teachers) needed some fresh air, so we sent them outside for recess for a short time. Most of the kids loved it! But several were underdressed - students with Crocs complained that their feet are cold. We will go outside if at all possible, the kids need fresh air and to move around. If they want to wear Crocs, make sure they bring a pair with them that they can wear outside.
Students are working hard leading up to the break. By then, students should have mastered half of their grade level skills - you will be able to see this on their report card in January. If students don't master their grade level skills, and they go on to the next grade, they will be starting behind. We are really focused on making sure ALL students reach mastery.
Don't forget, we have a 2 hour delay tomorrow, 12/9! Have a great weekend.
