Principal's Message
Happy Friday Cougar Families!
As the weather changes we want to remind everyone of the first line of our Steele Canyon Values, “Take Care of Yourself.” Getting plenty of sleep and a balanced diet can be the cornerstone of staying healthy as we enter the cold/flu season. We encourage students and staff to stay home when sick and want to share how important it is to return promptly. Steele Canyon places a high value on the in-person learning experiences, both inside the classroom and outside the classroom, that cannot be replicated from distance. Additionally, we pride ourselves on the welcoming social environment and wrap around services we have to help our students feel respected, connected, and valued.
Have a fun and safe weekend and remember to take care!
Rah! Rah! Cougars!
