Steck Weekly Announcements 10.30.26

Dear Steck Families,

We are looking forward to a fun day with our fall parade and party. Thank you to Steck PTA and volunteers for providing the fall party! Families are welcome to visit Steck to watch the outdoor parade. We recommend walking to Steck or parking in the street due to limited parking in our lot. We ask that visitors spread out while here viewing the parade. The parade route is here. We will start at door 1 and go toward McCoy, around the back of the building, and back in door 12. Please find a spot that is comfortable for you anywhere on the parade route. Our parade is closely supervised by staff.

When the parade is over, students, staff, and PTA party volunteers return to classrooms for the PTA Fall Party. All others visitors are asked to leave at that time. The PTA Fall Party includes fall-themed activities and a snack.

There is no school on Monday due to parent/teacher conferences. Conferences are by appointment only to allow for teachers to be prepared for each meeting. There is no school on Tuesday due to the General Election.

We "fall back" this weekend. Don't forget to adjust your clocks.

Enjoy the weekend!

Sincerely,

Dr. Pohlmann

Would your student like to celebrate a Steck teacher or staff member? Teacher Feature is just for you! Students (and families) are invited to honor a teacher with a Teacher Feature entry. Students can pick up a nomination form in the office or print one at home. There are two options for students to honor a teacher - write a note or draw a picture. Be sure to include the student and teacher name. Forms can be returned near the school office. Every form turned in will be presented to the teacher and some names will be drawn as the lucky winner of our Staff Member of the Week Rock Star Parking. We love our teachers!

Calling all Steck students and families:
