Appreciation Overflowing at STEM
Teacher and staff appreciation week at STEM School Highlands Ranch is always one of the highlights of the school year and this year did not disappoint. A very BIG thank you to our amazing PTO and the many other parent volunteers and students who came in on their Sunday to decorate our doors, hallways and lobbies. Our teachers and staff felt so appreciated, loved and surprised by the outpouring of love and support. Click here to read more
Check-In with Ms. Kovalesky
Can you believe that we are just two weeks away from the end of the school year? It has been quite a year and I am so amazed by the resiliency of our students, our parents and our staff. It’s hard to imagine that when we started the school year with COVID restrictions, we would be here today with almost everything back to normal. Click here to read more
2021-22 Annual Parent Survey is Open
It's that time of year for the Annual Parent Survey. As we continue to focus on further improving our school, we look to the STEM families for feedback. We are asking for feedback related to the teaching staff, curriculum, school culture, and parent engagement.

Please take a couple of minutes to complete the Fall 2021 STEM Parent Survey (please complete one per student) regarding the 2021-22 school year.

We greatly value your feedback. As an organization, we are committed to ongoing improvement in all facets of our school to better serve our students. This survey will be open through May 20, 2022.

Thank you,

School Accountability Committee (SAC) & STEM School Administration
