West Hills STEM Academy News
September 2021
An Update From Principal Melissa Rohr
As we move forward with this year, we will be looking to build strong relationships with our families and partner with you for every student's success. COVID allowed us to see many changes that need to be made in our system to make learning more equitable and accessible to our students. We will be continuing to learn and grow as a school to make this happen. We appreciate your patience as this year gets kicked off and we work through our new and changing requirements.
If you have questions, concerns, or ideas to help us better our services we ask that you contact us anytime. We look forward to this year and teaming with you!
