Update from Dr. Johnson on MLO/Bond

Thank you all for supporting the 5A and 5B ballot initiatives. Although extremely close, results indicate that neither initiative has passed. Although it does not appear that we will receive additional funding through a passage of 5A and 5B, we promise to continue focusing on providing the best salary and compensation package we can offer all employees. We will continue to remain competitive with DCSD and listen to feedback from our stakeholders that can put us in a position to provide innovative solutions that will allow us to stand out as a leader in staff compensation. Click here to Read More

Holiday Gift Card Program is Back!

Our STEM Gift Card Program continues to be a HIT so we will bring it back again, just in time for the holiday season. The program allows STEM families to donate toward the purchase of gift cards to be given to STEM staff. Participating in the STEM Gift Card Program is the PERFECT way to thank all of our hard-working teachers and staff!

Here's how the program works: 

Place your order here by clicking the Buy Now Button on the page via the button below.


Type in the dollar amount you want to donate to a general fund (used to purchase gift cards for ALL STEM staff). The STEM Elf will do the gift card shopping! 


Gift cards will be delivered to staff before winter break along with a card “signed” by all families who donate to purchase staff gift cards.


Be sure to place your order (NO CASH) via the school link by December 15th.


Gift cards will be ordered on December 16

Staff will receive their gifts on December 22

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.
