STEM SPOTLIGHT MESSAGE 8/31/25
Dear STEM School Highlands Ranch Elementary Families,
August has flown by, which means fall is right around the corner. Fall in Colorado means cool, crisp mornings followed by hot afternoons and who knows maybe a snowstorm. This is the time of year where our lost and found begins to grow. Please help us keep it manageable by labeling your child’s items with their names. That way if they end up in our lost and found we can help return it to its rightful owner.
Our students have been working hard on their beginning of the year iReady assessments. Scores will be shared during fall conferences.
Our first early release day was a success. Teachers were able to dive deep into data and develop goals to support student learning this year. We are very excited to continue this important work throughout the year on early release days.
Please join us on Wednesday September 17th from 5 PM - 7 PM for our STEM Blast Off Carnival.
Teacher dunk tank, carnival games, bounce houses, inflatable obstacle course, game truck
Food Trucks-Kona Ice and What Would Cheesus Do and STEM Concessions. Parents are also welcome to bring a picnic dinner.
