Dear Steele Families,
Report cards were released earlier this month. However, we know the information on report cards can be confusing and doesn’t always paint the full picture of how students are doing at school. Today, teachers will be sending home progress reports for each student. These reports will share strengths and areas for growth in literacy, math, and social/emotional skills. We hope this information will give you a better understanding of how your child is doing at school and how you can help at home.
It’s hard to believe we are already at spring break! We hope your time off is amazing and will see you all on Wednesday, April 6th.

Have a great weekend!
