We are excited to see what comes to school on Monday when families send in their STEM Family Projects! We've heard of some creative creations that are heading our way!

Here are a few important details:

STEM Family Activities Due Monday, September 10

• Create something useful from materials found in nature.
  
• Actual creation or photo/poster of item can come to school for display.
  
• Label with Student(s) and Teacher(s) names and grade level(s).
  
• Students take their project to the classroom, and teachers will direct to stage area for an all school display/museum of projects.

Participation is optional.

Sharing information about student progress is an important focus area for us, especially for our youngest learners. This focus has led to improved calibration of the annual parent-teacher-student conferences held in the fall of each school year. In the past, variances in scheduling of conferences led to safety issues and to very early dates for some conferences. This diminished the effectiveness of these important discussions about student progress.

• The conference days (elementary schools only) will occur on the afternoon of October 3rd (2:30-3:30PM) and on October 4th from 11:10AM to 7:00PM.
• If teachers have not yet reached out to you to schedule a day/time for a student conference, they will be doing so in the upcoming week.
• In exactly the same way we use e-days in the event of snow or other school cancellation make-up days, we will place one elementary e-day on Thursday, October 4th.
• Assignments posted (on our learning management system CANVAS) will be released early on October 3rd and will be due by the end of the school day on Monday, October 8. This time delay in turning in the assignments accommodates those who have difficulty with home access to the online content (just as we do with e-days for snow or other school cancellation make-ups).
