A Note About Summer Reading & Math Practice:
I hope our students are having a wonderful start to the summer! We encourage all students to keep their reading and math skills sharp over the summer! Please review the optional summer reading and math activities below and complete as much as you can. Every little bit helps students maintain their learning and start the new school year feeling confident and ready to learn.
Grade 3 Families (rising 4th graders): Mrs. McConaghy also sent home a summer math packet with a special incentive for students who complete it. Be sure to take advantage of this additional opportunity to keep math skills strong throughout the summer!
Wishing all of our students and families a fun, relaxing, and learning-filled summer!
All my best,
Courtney Francis
Safety is a Top Priority! Steere Farm will continue to stay vigilant with regards to school safety each and every day. We will continue our fire and lockdown drills, we will continue to check identification of all who enter our school.
The Importance of Attendance School attendance is super important to the academic achievement of our students. The school year is 180 days, and if a student is absent 18 days, he or she has missed 10% of the school year! That's a lot of time! That's 18 days of missed instruction, hands-on experience, and important discussion about learning. Absences should be used for illnesses, which are inevitable. While family vacations are great fun, missing school immediately puts students behind. Please plan vacations for times when school is not in session - this will help our kiddos to stay on track!
What do we mean by Respectful, Responsible, and Ready to Learn? These are our school rules. We are a Positive Behaviors and Instructional Supports (PBIS) school, and we work to highlight positive behaviors in order to change negative behaviors. Our students earn SuperStar tickets throughout the various areas of the school, and they can use those tickets to "purchase" small items or activities each week. There is a home matrix as well, so that our families can use these same structures in the home.
