Dear STrEaM Families,

We have just 5 full weeks of school left. Stay focused and let’s finish strong! There is NO SCHOOL this Friday, April 22nd (STrEaM ONLY) due to the Wayland Baptist spring graduation. It is a professional development day for staff.

Basket Auction Planning Continues! Thank you to everyone who has contributed to these incredible baskets! We are so excited to start the auction for these awesome items and themes.

We will no longer be providing masks at the front for students as they enter. Our remaining stock of masks will be reserved for students returning to school from COVID, as it is mandatory that they mask for two weeks following quarantine.
