STEM Academy of Hollywood

This past week we hosted our Back to School Night, Coffee with the Principal, a Senior Assembly, the 25 Day of School, The United Against Hate Campaign and over 80 seniors participated the Region West Annual College and Career Fair. STEM Academy of Hollywood appreciates your dedication, engagement and hard work. We would like to encourage our families and students to participate in our school events and learn from our school community.

STEM Academy of Hollywood will be offering two Peer to Peer Programs where students will get paid to help other peer members. Encourage your students to participate as they get paid, get experience and support others.

The Peer-to-Peer Mentoring Program will focus Social and Emotional Learning. Seniors will be mentoring 9th grade students on Suicide Prevention, Helping Friends, Social Media, Hygiene and Safety, Substance Use Awareness and Prevention, Wellness and Resilience, School Resources, and Healthy Relationships. If you are interested, see Ms. Gomez or Gabino for additional information.

The Math Peer-to-Peer Program will focus on students who score At Grade Level or Above on the BOY iReady will be able to tutor other peer members. If you are interested, see Mr. Furioso or Ms. Hall for additional information.

Tomorrow Monday, September 22nd we will have a Long A-Day Schedule and students will report to periods 1, 2, Advisory and 3. The school will be closed on Tuesday, September 23rd and classes will resume on Wednesday at 8:30 with a Regular Bell Schedule.

Yesterday, our STEM Academy of Hollywood Parent and Students Leaders joined Governor Gavin Newson, Superintended Alberto Carvalho, Mayor Karen Bass and other state leaders and community partners signed AB 49 into law, requiring federal agents to present a judicial warrant before entering schools.

Students ensure you practice iReady during your Advisory classes for at 30 minutes for Reading and Math. If you received at Grade Level or Above, use IXL instead of the iReady program.

College representatives will visit STEM. Please fill out the form and let me know what representatives you would like to meet. The informational sessions will take place during your class time, so make sure to ask for any missing assignments or lectures. Attending the workshops is not a reason to ask for extensions. Your teacher reserves the right to say NO to you.
