Rapids Report 5-17-21

This week at STrEaM Academy

May 17th, 2021

Dear STrEaM Families,

We are finally here, the LAST week of school for the 20-21 school year! WOW, what a journey it has been. I want to thank each of you for your patience, perseverance, flexibility and engagement as we navigated the most difficult and challenging school year any of us have ever experienced. In the end, I don’t believe in the term “learning loss,” and I do believe thanks to our amazing teachers, parents, staff, students and supporters, this year was a success. 

Health and Safety:

With only 4 days left for students, we are maintaining our health and safety measures and continuing mask wearing at all times, including in classes and on outdoor breaks. 

Working Wednesday this week:

This is the last virtual working Wednesday of the year. Teachers will hold class on Zoom. 

Chromebook Return:

All STrEaM Chromebooks must be returned Thursday morning. There will be return stations in the front lobby. 

FIELD DAY Thursday 5/20:

This year we will have grade-level Field Day events on the last day of school

• Eighth graders will begin with a Moving-On Ceremony on campus, followed by a hike to Cheney Lake for a treasure hunt and ice cream sandwiches
• 7th graders will walk to Chugach Foothills Park for a day of activity stations including: yard games, ultimate frisbee, board games, & free play
• 6th graders will stay on campus and rotate through stations designed for fun and camaraderie: yard games, basketball, crafts, and a design challenge

Summer Learning:

Parents, your children have access to iReady and ALEKS over the summer if you wish to extend and continue summer reading and math. We also encourage 20 minutes of reading a day, and a lot of outdoor activities and adventures!

21-22 SY Planning:

Parents of current 6th and 7th grade students: if your child will not be returning to STrEaM in the fall, PLEASE notify us for planning purposes! We have a waiting list already, and the second lottery is open. 

If you have any questions or need assistance after this week, Mr. Mokelke and Mrs. Biondich are available and working until June 4th, and return on July 13th. 

Thank you!
