SPOTLIGHT MESSAGE 1/25/26
Dear STEM Elementary Families,
As we move through the winter season, we want to take a moment to thank you for your continued partnership and support. Your involvement and communication play an important role in helping us create a safe, welcoming, and engaging learning environment for our students.
I am excited to welcome Dan Howard to our elementary team as our new music teacher. Mr. Howard brings several years of experience teaching music to students of all ages and he is passionate about helping children discover creativity, confidence, and joy through music. His broad background allows him to connect with learners at every stage, creating engaging and inclusive lessons that inspire a lifelong love of music. Welcome Mr. Howard!
Below you will find several upcoming events, opportunities to get involved, and a brief health reminder to help keep our community informed.
STEM’s Multicultural Night will take place on Thursday, February 12th, from 5:00–7:00 p.m. This evening is an opportunity to celebrate our diverse student population and learn more about the many cultures, traditions, art, music, dance, and foods represented within our STEM community. We look forward to welcoming families for an evening of connection and celebration. Families who are interested in participating are invited to complete the participation form.
We are also seeking parent volunteers to assist with upcoming vision and hearing screenings. Screenings will take place on February 10th for elementary students and February 11th for secondary students. These screenings are an important part of supporting student wellness, and we are grateful for any time you are able to share. Please use the links below if you are interested in volunteering.
As a reminder, families are encouraged to review the “How Sick Is Too Sick?” guidance when making decisions about school attendance. In general, students should remain home if they may be contagious, are not feeling well enough to participate fully in school activities, or require more care than can be provided during the school day.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. We appreciate all you do to support our students and our school community.
Have a wonderful week. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
In Partnership,
Amie McElroy
Elementary Principal
