The STEAM Weekly Volume 5
Dear Parents and Students,

I find my self inspired again by our students and the words of our pledge. Hearing and seeing our students embody these words everyday defines our vision and gives us direction! Thank you for choosing Maxine Smith STEAM Academy!

Our district announced that we must be ready to come back to school in January! I am excited about this and hope you are too! I need to know the numbers of in person and virtual students so we can adjust and ensure our re-entry plans will still be effective. Remember to update your PowerSchool with your current choice and please complete our quick 10 second survey so we can plan accordingly.

Have a great weekend!

Andy Demster
