Mrs. Manzanares Message

Dear Elementary Families,

This week at STEM, students continued building their classroom communities and establishing positive learning environments. They also practiced schoolwide expectations through guided activities in different areas of our building.

Students in grades K–5 participated in an internal field trip around the elementary school. Our instructional assistants helped students learn what safe, respectful, and responsible behavior looks and sounds like in the hallways, cafeteria, library, and outdoor play areas.

Students in grades 1–5 also began their i-Ready Math and Reading diagnostics this week. They have been working hard, practicing healthy test-taking skills, and doing a wonderful job!

Please review your child’s teacher newsletter for important information about the following leadership opportunities:

• Student Council positions for grades 3–5

• Class representative positions for grades 2–5
  
  

Student Leadership Interest Meeting

Ms. Sanchez and I will host an interest meeting on Wednesday, September 2, from 4:15–4:45 p.m. We will explain the available positions, associated duties, and the responsibilities of serving as a Student Council member or class representative at STEM.

We ask that a parent or guardian attend with interested students so that everyone clearly understands the expectations, accountability, and support required for these leadership roles.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support of our elementary community!

Warmly,

Jessica Manzanares
Elementary Principal
