From the Principal
|
Dear Steele families,
It's hard to believe we are planning for spring right now, especially with all this snow, but we are. Our students have made so much growth since the start of this year and we are excited to celebrate their learning at our Spring Open House. Formally Spring Conferences, our Spring Open House is an opportunity for students to showcase their learning. On Wednesday, March 25th from 4-6 PM, families are invited to visit classrooms and have your student share their current work and proudest moments from the year so far. This time will be student directed, not a sit down conference with your child's teacher. There will also be opportunities to check in on what's happening in specials, intervention, special education, and gifted and talented. Stay tuned for more information from your child's teacher.
Check out this week's Caught in the Act winners:
Have a great weekend!
