Check-In With Ms. Kovalesky


Dear STEM Students,


We are off to a wonderful start this semester. Over the break, we added new staff members to our team and adjusted our current staffing to best meet the needs of our students and school. We are very close to being fully staffed and are blessed by the talent and dedication the STEM staff exudes daily.


As the doors opened on Tuesday, Jan. 10, everyone was excited to explore the new areas and see the construction progress made over Winter Break. The anticipation of our new gym facilities is building. We hope that our stundets and community members will join us on Wednesday, Feb. 1, at 4:45 p.m. for our Grand Opening Event. We will have a ceremonial ribbon-cutting event, JV and Varsity basketball games, and State of STEM updates, as well as other exciting highlights from educational programs and various enrichment events occurring throughout our building.

STEMShares Clothing Drive Reminder

Hi Spartans!


Student Advisory is raising items of clothing for our January Warm Clothing Drive. All clothing items will go toward homeless shelters within our area and the local community. We will provide boxes for all 6th period/homeroom classes for middle school and elementary, respectively. The class that raises the largest amount of clothing items will receive a Pizza Party! We will be collecting clothes from January 10-31. We prefer clean and wearable clothes to be donated. Student Advisory appreciates your help in our community!


Thank you,

Student Advisory

Update from STEM IT Department

Our IT department has been graciously allowing students to charge their computers in their offices; however, lately, it has become overwhelming for them. We are asking all parents to help support their students in bringing their computers to school charged each day and ensuring that they bring a charger with them to school. Starting Tuesday, Jan. 17, students cannot charge their computers in the IT department.
