From the Principal
|
Dear Steele families,
As always, your feedback is very important to us. We have received a lot of feedback regarding our inside morning protocol.
Based on student, staff, and family input, we have decided to change our policy for what constitutes an inside morning. We will be outside as long as it is 25 degrees or higher. We will continue to use the "feels like" temperature, so if it says 25 degrees but feels like 15 degrees, we'll be inside. Students who are cold may go the cafeteria even if they are not eating breakfast, however they may not go back outside once they choose to come in.
As a reminder, there is no adult supervision before 7:50. Students must be part of Discovery Link in order to enter the building before 7:50.
In other news, I was informed by our cafeteria manager, Maria, that DPS has cancelled its contract for pizza delivery at schools. Starting March 1st, there will be no pizza served as part of our school lunch program. This is a district decision and cannot be changed at the school level.

Have a great weekend!

The 2020 Home Tour will feature these five beautiful homes:
303 S. Gaylord A creatively appointed, contemporary new build that offers stylish design elements coupled with beautiful hardwood, distinct lighting selections and bespoke fabrics. With indoor space that opens to an expansive yard, this home lends itself to entertaining. 395 S. Gaylord This 1949 bungalow has undergone a complete transformation and combines historic charisma with contemporary style. The interior of the home has a fun, bright, and casual feeling that is enhanced by original details and perfectly represents Wash Park living at its best. 302 S. Vine A light-filled, modern architectural masterpiece on an oversized corner lot. This home showcases the perfection of scale, intriguing volumes, and meticulous, intentional detail that are sure to leave you speechless. 568 S. Vine Designed around the concept that "light makes a home," this unique architecture marries original craftsman features with contemporary Scandinavian inspired updates. This home was one of Wash Park's original pop tops, and then recently a home addition was incorporated into the architecture. Rare to the neighborhood, an apartment home is on this property making it a unique addition to the tour. 610 S. Race Everything about this sophisticated home is meant to engage and inspire. It features a beautiful windowed foyer, an impressive kitchen and phenomenal art collection. This home is a must see for those that appreciate thoughtful space planning with beautiful interior finishes.
