SPOTLIGHT MESSAGE 1/25/2026 SPOTLIGHT MESSAGE 1/25/2026

Dear STEM Middle School Families,

I hope this message finds you well. As we move through our second semester, I wanted to share a few important reminders and upcoming dates.


Personal Devices at School

As a reminder, personal devices are not permitted for 6th and 7th grade students during the school day. This includes personal iPads. These devices should remain at home or powered off and stored away while at school. We appreciate your partnership in reinforcing these expectations with your students.

We encourage families to continue checking in with students at home, keeping up with texts, and having regular conversations about how they are doing socially and emotionally. Your connection and communication make a significant difference.


Upcoming Events and Dates

  • January 30: Pseudo Snow Day - No school for students

  • February 12: Multicultural Event from 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. presented by our JEDI Committee
    We hope you will join us for an evening celebrating the diversity of our community.

  • February 13:

    • No school for students (Professional Development Day for staff)

    • Middle School Winter Dance from 6:00 - 8:30 p.m.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We are grateful to work alongside such a caring school community.


Warm regards,

Maura Ridder

Middle School Principal
