The STEAM Weekly Volume 2, 2022-2023

STEAM Parents and Students,

Week One is in the books! I know we had a few hiccups, but overall we won this week! Kids were happy and learning, teachers were teaching, and we brought joy into our new house @ 3206 Poplar!

Our first day of dismissal ended at 4:10 and we made adjustments everyday. We finished at 3:25 today safe and sound! Thank you parents and students!

Our KnightsCARE values kept us focused on what matters most! Collaboration, Attitude, Responsibility, and Effort! Thank you for your patience as we work out new systems, protocols, and procedures. Please contact me with any concerns.
