Coffee and Update 11/24/20


Dear STrEaM Families,


We are heading into the “stretch run” of Quarter 2! After enjoying Thanksgiving break, we will have just three weeks of school left in the quarter. Let’s finish strong!


Remember there is no school Thursday and Friday this week. Please enjoy your Thanksgiving break safely, with small gatherings, social distancing and plenty of outdoor activity! 


Wednesday 11/25:  Join us for Morning Coffee at 8 AM! 

 Our guest is Meredith Gutierrez of Anchorage Parks Foundation! Learn more about STrEaM’s projects and partnerships with the parks!

Facilities: 

Mrs. Biondich and Mr. Mokelke returned to working in the building regularly, in the new offices on the main floor! Following Thanksgiving break, staff will be allowed to work in their classrooms if they choose. We are planning to resume scheduling students for optional in-person learning as soon as possible, depending on community health status. 


Health and Safety Plan: 

Our H&S Plan is posted on the STrEaM Website. Parents feel free to review and reach out to us with questions and feedback.

Items ordered through this Stream Anchorage link will be mailed directly to your house. There are a limited number of items, including Mrs. Biondich's 2020 design, the STrEaM logo design and XC Skiing gear. This is a fundraiser for Stream Anchorage 501(c)(3) and benefits the XC Skiing Program at Anchorage STrEaM Academy

 

Counselor’s Corner: 

Ms. Bonertz adds discussions each week on her Canvas page.  This is an opportunity for students to engage with others. Please encourage your students to check out the discussions.  Many of them have an SEL focus, including practice for mindfulness while staying connected with each other.


Friendly reminder from your school counselor to practice self-care!  Many of us have had to make holiday changes in plans, so be sure to be kind to yourself.  Ms. Bonertz has many resources for her students on her Canvas page, but her website also has several suggestions for self-care. 


STrEaM APC: 

The “Academic Policy Committee” is the board overseeing our charter school. The APC meets the second Wednesday of each month at 5:30 PM on Zoom and meetings are broadcast live on Youtube. Our next meeting is Wednesday, December 9th, at 5:30 PM. 

The APC channel on our website has been updated to be more search friendly. Remember to refresh the page when you go to our website again.


Special Upcoming Event: 

Ms. Draeger is hosting a Drive-In Hot Air Balloon Launch on Friday, December 4th, at 3:00 pm for her current 6th grade science students. This event will take place in the WBU parking lot (facilities will not be available). Students will take turns launching  hot air balloons while maintaining safe distance in their comfort of their cars. Masks will be required when students are out of their car. 


STrEaM families and community, we are thankful for YOU! Thank you for choosing and supporting STrEaM. We appreciate and are grateful for you.
