Student-Led Conferences
Student-Led Conferences will be held the week of 10/23. See schedule below. Due to our lease requirements and restrictions, we cannot utilize our building past 5 PM. Thus, our schedule is different from neighborhood middle schools.
At conferences, students will present their digital portfolios and show parents what they’ve done and learned. Staff will be available to guide and support these.
SLC WEEK SCHEDULE:
Picture Retake Day
Friday, November 3, 2023 at 2:00 pm Lifetouch will be here to do picture retakes for those students who wish to return their purchased packet. Students who missed the original picture day will also take their photos on this day so that an ID card can be issued and so that you have an opportunity to receive a proof for possible purchase!
Walking to and from school
It is now dark in the morning when school starts. We have students walking and biking to school.
Drivers: be cautious and watch for pedestrians.
Parents: please have your child wear bright and/or reflective clothing when walking or biking.
Safety is paramount!
STOPit
STOPit is an anonymous reporting tool designed to deter and mitigate bullying, cyber abuse, and other inappropriate behaviors, consisting of an app and a back-end incident management system for school administrators.
Specifically, the program empowers students and families to:
Report at-risk or inappropriate behaviors anonymously
Submit photo or video evidence
Alert designated administrators to issues and risks early, before they escalate
Your child has been educated on the STOPit app so please discuss it with your student. We also encourage your family to explore the district page on STOPit, linked above.
APC (Academic Policy Committee)
The Academic Policy Committee (APC) meets the second Wednesday of every month at 5:30 PM.
The next meeting will be Wednesday, November 8th at 5:30 PM in the Fab Lab at school. Community and parents are always welcome to attend. Please notify us prior to the meeting if you wish to provide public comment.
Friends of STrEaM
The Stream 100 campaign is still open! FOS is looking for 100 people to donate $100. We currently have 30 pledges for this school year. Thank you for considering supporting our school. This fundraiser takes the place of students selling wrapping paper, popcorn or cookies. Thank you for your support.
