Check-In with Ms. Kovalesky
Thank you so much for choosing STEM School Highlands Ranch for your child’s education and partnering with us to ensure their success. STEM is an amazing place because of your children, our staff that supports them, and the nurturing and caring support network at home.
Over the last few weeks, I have witnessed students demonstrating our Spartan Character Values and their passion for learning. Our faculty/staff’s hearts grow bigger each time they SHINE. I have had the opportunity to observe our students compete in sports events, robotics competitions, field trips, enrichment clubs, parades, community events and the Prospective SpartanShowcase night.

Each Friday we send out three newsletters to our various stakeholder groups (parents/community, students and staff). Parents are automatically signed up for our newsletter using the information provided in Infinite Campus. People can also sign-up for the newsletter using our sign-up form and can find archives via the Get Connected page on the Parent Page. Newsletters are sent through Constant
Since we are a K-12 school, there is a lot of information that gets shared with our community each week. In order to be as efficient as possible with our limited resources, we break up the newsletter into specific sections to organize the information as best as we can for our families. For Elementary-specific news, please click on the Elementary News/Updates section. For Secondary (6-12)-specific news, please click on the Secondary News/Updates section.
