How Should Students Dress For STEAM Expo?
The goal for our STEAM Expo is to have all students dress up and look nice.  Students are presenting the learning they have done and we want them to feel the importance of the night.  After school on Thursday, have your students change into dressier clothes but don’t feel like you need to be super fancy; a nice pair of slacks, a collared shirt, blouse, or dress etc. are all good choices.

Conferences
Thank you so much for meeting with me last week.  It was really a pleasure talking to you all.  Thank you for taking the time out of your schedule to fit into those available days.
