Happy Friday, Lil Steamer Families!

From the Desk of: Principal Hoese

Lil Steamer Families --

Thank you to everyone who was able to attend and support the Greatest Little Halloween Parade in the Universe today! One of my favorite things as principal is seeing such wonderful family support for our Lil Steamers.

Parades, concerts, and other events can be a little nerve-wracking for students. Seeing those comforting faces cheering them on with smiles full of love and pride is the best emotional support our Lil Steamers can have in those moments.

Two quick reminders as we look ahead:

Trick-or-treating for tomorrow is 5-7 PM in Albany and 6-8 PM in Fulton.
Parent/Teacher Conferences are Thursday, Nov. 5 (2-7pm) and Friday, Nov. 6 (8am-1pm).
Thursday, Nov. 5 is an early release day and there is no student attendance on Friday, Nov. 6.

Have a safe and fun Halloween weekend!

It's been a very busy week, so no update this week. Happy Halloween! 🎃

From the Desk of Counselor Meumann:

We all enjoyed seeing our students dress up to celebrate Red Ribbon Week. Thank you for encouraging your children to dress up. Celebrating Red Ribbon Week helps elementary students build a foundation for lifelong wellness, personal safety, and positive decision making.

Steamer Home Events: Student Code of Conduct

Supporting our teams with pride, safety, and respect.

While we are excited that our elementary and middle school students enjoy attending home events, it is important that everyone understands the expectations for student behavior. Our priority is to keep students safe and ensure all fans can enjoy Steamer events.

⚓ Entry & Supervision

Enter Together: All K–8 students must enter the event with an adult, who is responsible for them the entire event.
No Re-entry: Once inside, students may not leave and return.
Elementary (K–5) Students: At home football games, may sit in the designated student section and must follow all expectations. All other games, they must stay with their parent/guardian.
Middle School (6–8) Students: May sit in the designated student section (when provided) and must follow all expectations.
High School (9-12) Students: May sit in the designated student section(s) and stand along the fence.

⚓ Where to Be

Stay in the Stands: Students should remain in the bleachers watching the event – not roaming hallways, fields, or campus.
Designated Sections: Student sections, when available, will be clearly marked.
Building Access: Students may only be in approved areas (e.g., concessions, restrooms). All other areas are off‑limits.

⚓ Game Day Behavior

Watch the Event: We are here to cheer on the Steamers! The focus should be on the field or court. Do not bring footballs, basketballs, or other sporting equipment.
No Side Games: Playing separate games or running around school grounds is prohibited to ensure everyone’s safety.
Show Respect: Treat staff, concession workers, officials, players, and fellow fans with kindness. Respect school property at all times, this includes picking up after themselves.
Follow directions: Students must follow all directives from school staff and event supervisors.

⚓ Consequences

First Warning: Students who misbehave will be sent to sit with their supervising adult for the rest of the event.
Serious or repeated violations – including being in unauthorized areas or causing disruptions – may result in removal from the event and/or loss of privilege to attend future home events.

We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe, positive, and respectful environment for all Steamer fans. Together, we ensure our students enjoy events safely while cheering on the Steamers with pride.
