Dear STrEaM Families,

We are now in week 5, halfway through the First Quarter. We are finding that students need to re-learn social interactions and appropriate behaviors, and we’re holding grade-level assemblies to talk through this with them. This is surely due to the long time away from regular school and online learning. Please help us by emphasizing basic social interaction norms: be kind, speak kind, show respect to self and others, keep hands to self and do the right thing.
