The last week of school is bittersweet. We are excited for summer but are SO going to miss your children! Please check back to Facebook and Apptegy as we will share summer opportunities with you. If you signed up to help for Fun Field Day - THANK YOU! Parking is always a challenge, but please make sure not to block anyone in the parking lot.
There are so many things happening in the next two weeks! Pay attention to reminders coming home in your children's folders and agendas! Make sure to return any library books and do a scan of your house for any materials that belong at school.

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week! As we near the end of the year, it is perfect time to say "thank you" to the educators who give so much time and attention not only to teaching your children, but to encouraging, comforting, inspiring, redirecting, and planting a seed of what can be! They are some of the most compassionate humans you will ever meet as they genuinely care about your children and their well-being.
We have such a supportive PTA who have planned things for each day to express appreciation from the Steenrod community.
Also, our 3rd and 4th grade students will take the General Summative Assessment this week. A good night's sleep, a healthy breakfast, and a "can-do" attitude will enable them to do their best on the test!
Calling all High School Graduates who attended Steenrod! We want to celebrate your graduation! Please join us on May 15 to be applauded for your accomplishments. ✨
We are making plans for Teacher Appreciation Week and Fun Field Day. Make sure to let us know what size shirt your child will need by Friday!
Also, yearbook orders are due by Tuesday!

Fun Field Day is right around the corner! It is set to take place on May 22. Below you will find a google form that needs to be filled out regarding your child’s shirt. Volunteers are also welcome to order a shirt for $10 a piece. Please send in your shirt size and name with your payment. You may write a check to Steenrod PTA or send in cash. Students shirts are free. Please have the Google form and all volunteer shirt orders placed by no later than May 2. Everything will be submitted to the print shop on May 3 so there will be enough time to have the shirts made and to distribute them to our students. If you have any questions please email cvygrl4@yahoo.com or jennifertrader13@hotmail.com. This is NOT the sign-up sheet to volunteer for FFD. That will be posted sometime in May. Thank you!

The "Rocket Man", aka Jess White, Education Specialist and Program Analyst from the NASA IV&V Facility Education Resource Center in Fairmont taught our students about designing rockets, never giving up, and shooting for the stars! We loved learning and launching.
Students in our Tony M Music and Arts Foundation (TMMAF) session on Film Production had so much fun creating the storyline, crafting a storyboard, and acting in this feature film! Thank you to Amber Musser for teaching our students!

As a parent or caregiver, it is very important for you to be askable. What does that mean? How do adults become askable? To be askable means that young people see you as approachable and open to questions. Being askable about sexuality is something that most parents and caregivers want but that many find very difficult.
Being askable is important. Adults may worry about:Not knowing the right words or the right answers; giving too much or too little information; or giving information at the wrong time.

It looks like we'll have a full week back, with quite a few rescheduled events. Please contact your child's teacher or the school office with any questions. As a reminder, the county is allowing parents to opt for an early dismissal. Any student present for a half day will count as a full day. Half day attendance for Steenrod is until 11:45 a.m. Absences and early dismissals still require notes.
UPDATE TO FILM PRODUCTION!
As shared in the call-out, we've got lots of timely information to share this week! Paper copies will be sent home on Friday. Please note that the 3rd Grade trip to the Schrader Center permission slip needs to be returned by Monday, April 8! These photos are for informative purposes only.
