Mr. Chambers in deep virtual instruction
Letter from the Principal:
Dear Steggies:
The first two days of virtual learning went well. Students were excited to see their teachers and each other. We know that many of you are still experiencing technology issues, we are addressing those on a first come first serve basis. We have added a form below for you to use to report technological issues. Additionally, we still have many families that are waiting for their registration paperwork to be completed. We are hoping to have everyone registered and ready to go by the middle of next week. The McElwain staff wants to thank the community for its patience. Everyone has been absolutely wonderful to work with. As we continue to have patience and support one another we will get through this together.
