Steele Report

January 21, 2022

Principal's Message

Steele Family,

We hope everyone's new year is off to a great start! As you will see in this Steele Report we have lots going on already at Steele to begin 2022!

I would like to draw special attention to how well our students are performing academically in the classroom. For the second grading period, 441 of our students have earned the distinction of High Honor Roll and 250 were named to the Honor Roll. To put that in perspective, 64% of our students earned a GPA of 3.0 or better! This is a credit to our students, parents, and faculty working together to support our students.

Enjoy reading the Steele Report and stay warm this weekend!

Proud Principal,

Joe Tellier
