The Rapids Report
February 7th, 2022
Dear STrEaM Families,
During the month of February, please join us in celebrating Black History Month. This is an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the contributions of Black Americans, honor legacies and achievements, and continue striving for equity and equality for all.
STEM at STrEaM:
This Saturday our Robotics team participated in the First Lego League State competition! We’re proud of our students and the team which represented us at this level for the first time. Teams from all over Alaska competed in three main categories: the robotic game, innovation project and core values. Mrs. Sonday reports that our team worked tirelessly perfecting code, developing an engineering plan, and collaborating with each other towards the objectives. Way to go Rapids!

Returning students do NOT have to apply in the lottery.

Social-Emotional Learning Topic of the Week
The Social-Emotional Learning topic this week is accountability. Taking responsibility for our words, actions, and impact on others is powerful, and can be restorative and cathartic. When we ask students to reflect and restore after an incident, there is an emphasis on taking accountability for their actions, regardless of the reasons or actions of others. Accountability is a step in learning to self-regulate and build positive relationships.
Academic Policy Committee
APC board meeting is this Wednesday, February 9th at 5:30 PM on Zoom and Youtube. Contact us to be on the agenda for public comment. The Facilities Committee will present the criteria for a future STrEaM facility for APC review and comment.

Thank you STrEaM families and friends. As we begin focusing on recruitment and enrollment for the 22-23 school year, we are remind that our special program exists, continues, grows and thrives because of you: our parents, families, students and supporters. 6 years into this journey, the top way new families and students come to us is still word-of-mouth from those of you who love and support us.
