The Viking View for Families
October 6th 2022
A note from the Principal
Steele Lane Families,
There are so much wonderful learning happening here at Steele Lane! Our educators are focusing on Writers Workshop in the month of October. Some of our students are writing about personal stories and others are writing informational pieces or how to books. At home you can check in with your students and ask them what they are writing about.
We are excited for our upcoming harvest festival on October 28th, see flyer below. We look forward to building our school community through this event and coming together with one another.
With much Gratitude,
Principal Williams
Attendance Matters
This is a reminder that school begins at 8 am each morning. If your student arrives after 8 please have them check in at the office so we can record them at tardy. If you need to call in an absence please call the school line at 707-890-3945 or call Ms. Katrin at 707-595-8875.
Also, it is important for all students to eat breakfast each morning. Our cafeteria is open at 7:30 and all school meals are free for all students.
October is Panorama Survey Month
The Panorama Survey is a strengths-based social-emotional student SURVEY on well-being and social-emotional learning.
Topics include sense of belonging, positive feelings, challenging feelings, self-efficacy, supportive relationships & classroom effort. Click on the links below to find out more information.Box Tops
Join me in earning cash for our school by using the Box Tops app. It’s an easy way to make a difference. All you have to do is buy Box Tops participating products (like Cheerios!) and scan your grocery receipt. Box Tops are worth $.10 each and they add up fast!

Lunch Applications
A lunch application must be completed each year to help our schools qualify for federal funding that benefits all students. For the 2022-23 school year, all students will receive breakfast/snack and lunch for free regardless of qualifying conditions. The meal application can be done by answering two questions in your parent portal during your registration process. You may also complete the application online using this link. You only need to complete this process once for your family, regardless of whether your children are enrolled in different schools. We are also happy to help our families complete the application over the phone or in person. Please call our Main Office or come by for support.
Communication - Parent Square
As we all learned very quickly during the pandemic, home and school communication is extremely important. Please be sure that you are connected and able to access our Steele Lane Elementary School Parent Square.
It is recommended that you download the Parent Square application on your smartphone. Please give us a call for help if you need it!
