Week Seven (Fall Semester)
It's officially Fall and October is around the corner. It's been a historic 7 weeks at STEM and I'm happy to say that Covid-19 cases are at an all time low! We need all of you to continue doing your part my making sure students wear masks over their nose and mouth at all times (except for eating outdoors) and that they get vaccinated. All Advisory teachers are giving class credit for students to upload their vaccination cards on Daily Pass. Please make sure you do this.
I'm so proud that 85% of our students have no Fails in any A-G classes on the 5 week report card! Let's keep it up! If you need tutoring, check our website HERE for teacher tutoring hours! If you'd like to meet with a teacher, call us at 323-817-6461 or send the teacher a message on Schoology!
Important news, announcements and opportunities are below.
