Principal for the Day Takes Charge
On Monday, we welcomed Zoe Zunker as Principal for the Day at Steck Elementary School. Zoe arrived ready to work for her third experience of leading our Steck Stars!
She completed many duties that arise each day at our school. From traffic patrol, greeting students, checking on classrooms, monitoring recess and lunch, completing projects, reading with classrooms, etc. Zoe met every challenge with expertise!
The students and staff really appreciated and enjoyed Principal Zunker helping out. Thank you Principal Zunker for a great day of leadership!
Beach for a Bench
It's not too late to donate to the "Beach for a Bench" fund. We need a little more to cover the cost of a permanent bench in the backyard pavilion to commemorate our 7 1/2 year leadership team who is retiring/moving on. Please consider giving, or giving a little more if you can, by May 17th. Donations can be turned in to the office. Thank you!
A huge shout out to our PTSA for an incredible Teacher Appreciation Week!  Thanks for making each of us feel so supported and bringing us delicious and fun treats each day. 
Field Day is Monday, May 13th!
Primary grades will have their activities from 8:40 am-10:40 am.

Krazy Kinball-Sneak peek for Field Day!
We are celebrating our amazing Steck Volunteers on Monday, May 13th! We could not do it without you. Please find us on Field Day for a special treat- a small token of our appreciation -that we have for you.

We just want to thank all of the awesome Steck Volunteers. Our school is an incredible place and you are truly appreciated!
Respecting our School and Playground
During our all school assembly last week we discussed  being a Steck Star at all times , not just at school. We are noticing as a staff that before school and after school, students are not using the playground equipment properly as well as not treating the grounds with respect. Students are well aware of the expectations and that they should be following them at all times!
All Library Books due by May 17th!
All library books are due back to the library by Friday, May 17th.

You will receive an email from Mr. Almon if you have any overdue books.

Let Mr. Almon know if you have any questions or concerns: jonathan_almon@dpsk12.org

Important Upcoming Dates

Important Links:
Students at Steck Elementary School will have 9 late start days for the 2019-2020 school year. These late starts will be used for important Professional Learning time for teachers and staff. School will begin 2 hours and 20 minutes later each late start day at 10:30 am. This will be a great opportunity for parents to schedule dental/medical appointments throughout the year which won't conflict with school hours!

Mark these late start dates on your calendars:
