Family Newsletter
Cleveland STEM High School
November 15, 2024
Hello Cleveland Families!
This past week, all Cleveland teachers submitted their Quarter 1 grades, and they will soon be posted for you to view on the Source. Shortly after, you can expect to also hear from your student's advisory teacher to schedule a Student Led Conference. This is a key opportunity for you to learn about how your student is doing in school - the work that they're proud of, what they've struggled with, and how their classes are helping them with their post-secondary goals. We look forward to you getting a meeting set up with your student's advisor so you can have a deeper understanding of your student's high school experience and how we can partner together to support their thriving.
As a reminder, Cleveland will not have school on Wednesday, November 27th (day before Thanksgiving) to allow for teachers to hold these conferences with students.
