Attendance Adds Up!

“Did you know?”:

  • By 6th grade, absenteeism is one of three major signs that a student may drop out of high school.
  • By 9th grade, attendance is a better predictor of graduation rates than 8th grade test scores.
  • Students should miss no more than 9 days of school each year to stay engaged, successful and on track to graduation.
  • Attendance is an important life skill that will help your child keep a job and graduate from college.

Tips for better attendance:

  • Help your child maintain daily routines, such as laying out their clothes and getting a good night's sleep.
  • Create and maintain boundaries with phone and computer usage. For example create a place to put devices before bedtime to avoid scrolling/gaming late into the night!

No Place For Hate

The Anti-Defamation League awarded STEAM Academy with it's No Place For Hate designation for the second straight year!

STEAM students believe we have the right to live and learn in a safe, respectful, and inclusive school; and that no child should experience discrimination/harassment based on any immutable characteristic.

We meet weekly to further these goals for our school and community
