Check-In with Ms. Kovalesky

Thank you for your partnership over the last two weeks. The start of this school year has been an enormous success, but it has come with some minor challenges. Our students and staff have felt your support and dedication and have helped us navigate those challenges with ease.  


STEM Updates

Student Drop Off

The new pullout lane off Barrons Blvd and the ability to drop Secondary Students off at 7:10 a.m. at the Secondary and Athletic entrances helped improve the start of the morning for our students. Students have demonstrated a general acceptance of the new procedures involving the Evolv Express System and all feel a heightened sense of school safety. We thank you for your patience as we navigated a few options to find the best solution. All of this will be included in our Pilot Program updates that we provide to the Douglas County Commissioners.

SCHOOL NEWS AND UPDATES

Health Room News/Updates

Dear STEM School Highlands Ranch Families,


We have seen an uptick in cases of vomiting this week, and I wanted to remind families to please keep their children home if experiencing symptoms of nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.


Students can return to school 24 hours after their last vomiting and/or diarrhea episode. They should also be fever free for 24 hours before returning as well. Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated and will help keep our staff healthy so that they can continue to support all students.


Additionally, per DCSD guidelines, we are no longer tracking COVID cases so there is no need to report it to the health office. Anyone with COVID, should follow the CDPHE guidance.


Please email any questions to nurse@stemk12.org.


Thank you,


Mallory Jimenez, School Nurse
