Thank you to the Men of Steele and everyone who came out last weekend to install the new roof for our greenhouse! The new roof is a huge improvement and will breathe new life into the garden program!

This is an important reminder that the staff parking lot (off of Alameda and Lafayette Street) is for staff members only.

We are seeing an influx of families driving through and parking in the lot to drop-off and pick-up students.

This creates gridlock, safety issues, and takes parking spots away from staff members who are parking for the day.

Additionally, our staff arrives at different times throughout the day and we need to ensure our employees have a parking spot available when they arrive.

This includes Discovery Link drop-off and pick-up.

Thank you for your consideration.

Check out the 2nd Grade Winter Joy Exhibition at the Eugene Field Library now through January 7th!

2nd Graders were asked to create a piece of art that brings them joy in the winter for our local library. Congrats to all the 2nd Graders who worked hard on their pieces!

The Science Fair will be held on Friday, March 7. There will be a community open house the night before on Thursday, March 6. The open house will allow students to set up their posters and practice their presentations for friends and family.

We will kick off the science fair preparations in January. However, information regarding the fair is available now if you want to get a headstart over winter break. You can even purchase your tri-fold poster board from the office for $4 if you want to get moving.

DPS has started an A La Carte program for students. This means that students can purchase additional items with their lunch. To do this, students must have money in their My School Bucks account. Steele is working to get a list of items being sold as well as their ingredients and will share that when we have it.

Looking for a way to become more involved with the community next year? We’re looking for 2 co-chairs to lead the planning and organization of the 2025 Steele Auction! The only prerequisite? A genuine passion for Steele. The auction committee will support you every step of the way with planning, organizing, and fundraising efforts.
