SPOTLIGHT MESSAGE 2/8/26
Dear STEM Elementary Families,
I am grateful for the continued partnership we share with you in supporting our students’ growth, learning, and well-being. I wanted to share a few important updates and resources with you.
Secondary Walkout Follow-Up
I want to reassure our elementary families that elementary students did not participate in the walkout this week. Some elementary students noticed older students taking part, and staff were present to ensure all students remained safe and supervised.
Our priority is always to maintain a calm, secure learning environment. Elementary students continued with their regular school day, and any questions that arose were handled in an age-appropriate and supportive way. Thank you for your continued partnership and trust as we care for our students and support their learning.
Toys & Stuffed Animals
I would also like to remind families that stuffed animals and toys are not allowed at school except for special class rewards. While we understand these items can be comforting, they often become distractions and can cause challenges during the school day. To help maintain a focused and consistent learning environment, please ensure these items stay at home.
ADHD Resources for Parents
Many families have asked for additional guidance and support related to ADHD. Whether your child has a diagnosis or you are simply looking for strategies to support focus, organization, and emotional regulation, the following resources may be helpful:
Understanding ADHD
Executive Function
Emotional Regulation
Parenting
These resources are meant to support families and help strengthen the home–school connection. If you have questions or would like additional support, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher or our support team.
Thank you for your cooperation and for your continued support of our school community. We appreciate all you do to help your child succeed.
Have a wonderful week. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
In Partnership,
Amie McElroy
Elementary Principal
