From the Principal
Dear Steele families,

It has been so great to "see" all of our students this week!  Although remote learning is very different than being at school, it has been so wonderful to connect with our students again. We know there have been some bumps along the way, and we appreciate your patience and support as we adjust to this new form of teaching and learning. 

We want to know how remote learning has been going for your family. Please complete this short survey to let us know how we can better support you during this time.

If you're wondering who to call with questions or concerns during remote learning, please review this Remote Learning Support Plan.

spiritweekWe are excited to announce that next week will be our first virtual spirit week. We hope your child will join in the fun during class meetings or even by uploading pictures to their classroom platforms. 
  • Monday- Mustache Day 
  • Tuesday- Crazy Hair Day
  • Wednesday- Super Hero Day
  • Thursday- Fancy Dress Up Day
  • Friday- Steele Spirit Day
We look forward to seeing your Steele Spirit!
 
Stay healthy!

boardelectionsPTA Board Elections, 4/29 
Elections will be taking place the last week of April. Since we will not be back to school, our plan is to do a Survey Monkey with all interested candidates.  If you have any interest in taking over a board position please let us know by April 12th.  Any and all questions about the board positions can be sent to  [email protected] . Only paid PTA members are eligible to vote. The election Survey Monkey will be posted in an upcoming Steele Stallion/Steele Extra. You can pay your membership dues on the Membership Toolkit website. 

firstdayPre-Order School Supplies by 7/1
For the 2020-21 school year, we are continuing our partnership with  1st Day School Supplies.  Families can purchase kits which will be delivered to your child's classroom teacher.  Steele will receive a small number of free kits based on the number of families who order through this service. We have extended this years deadline to order by two weeks to July 1.  We understand these are difficult times and if you find that purchasing supplies is a hardship, please reach out to your teacher or  Marti Rosenberg to reserve a free/or reduced cost kit. Contact our school supply coordinator  Johanna Woodrow with any questions.
To submit information to this newsletter, send it in edited, final-draft format to the appropriate person listed below by 5 PM on Wednesdays:
For all other questions, please email Jessica Meehan and Sarah Almy Moore (parent volunteers) at  [email protected].
