School starts tomorrow!

 The Rapids Report

August 17th, 2022

Dear STrEaM Families,


Tomorrow. August 18th, is the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! We are so excited to kick off the school year with our students. We will have “welcome week” activities the first two days, beginning with a school-wide assembly at 8 AM Thursday. Students will then go to advisory for team building, and will meet all their teachers in mini-classes. 

On Friday students will start the day in Advisory, then go to their Grade-Level Projects teachers for outdoor exploration and community project activities. 

Please help students remember to bring a lunch, dress for the weather, and be prepared to go outside. Write names on the inside of jackets and gear, and on water bottles and lunch boxes. 

Drop-off and Pick-Up

Drop off begins at 7:45 AM. Follow the cones and staff directions.

Pull as far forward as possible before stopping. Students will line up outside until 8 AM. 

It is unlawful to be on electronic devices while driving in a school zone. 

Drive slowly in the neighborhood & watch for pedestrians & bicycles: many of our students walk to and from school. 

Pick up begins at 3:00 on M/T/TH/F, and at 12:00 on Wednesdays. Call for early pick up. Pull as far forward as possible, filling space in front of you. You may also find a spot to park and wait. 

“Special” Electives

Students will select their “Special” elective on Thursday in Advisory during Welcome Week. Specials are held period 8 on Thursdays. Options will include: Yearbook, Ultimate Frisbee, Improv, Lego Wars, Math Art, Photography, Nature Discovery, and Leadership.
