Welcome to STEAM Academy!

“Strive to be the best FOR the world, not IN the world.”

Dear STEAM Academy Families,

I hope this message finds you well and enjoying a wonderful start to the 25-26 school year.

As we settle into the rhythm of the year, I want to take a moment to highlight one of our school’s most important priorities: building strong, meaningful connections — between students, staff, and families.

Middle school is a time of great growth and change, and it’s also a time when relationships matter more than ever. At STEAM Academy, we believe that when students feel connected — to their peers, to their teachers, and to the school community — they thrive both academically and emotionally. That’s why we’re focused on creating a welcoming, inclusive environment where every student feels seen, heard, and supported.

From morning greetings to intervention programs, classroom activities to extracurricular clubs, we are intentional about creating opportunities for students to connect. We also know that families play a vital role in this effort. Whether you’re attending a school event, checking in with your child about their day, or simply encouraging them to reach out and get involved, your support makes all the difference.

We invite you to stay connected with us throughout the year. Reach out to your child’s teachers, follow us on social media, and don’t hesitate to call or stop by with questions or concerns. Together, we can ensure that every student feels a sense of belonging and connection at STEAM Academy.

Thank you for partnering with us in your child’s journey. We’re looking forward to a fantastic year, full of learning, growth, and strong connections.

Sincerely,
Rad
Principal, STEAM Academy
