Update from Principal Ken Burdette |
Happy Friday Steck Community:
A huge shout-out to our 3rd-5th grade students for their successful completion of CMAS testing this week. We are finished, aside from a few make-up tests next week. Our ECE-2nd grade students were very supportive of our older students, and that is a reflection of our Steck STARS traits. And not to be left out, our Steck Staff did an incredible job in making these past 2 weeks a smooth, efficient success.
I am looking forward to a strong finish to the school year. We have a lot of fun activities and end-of-year celebrations coming up, including the school-wide Steckretariat Fun Run on May 8th. I am personally looking forward to our families joining for many of these events, as this continues to build and strengthen our Steck community.
As an aside, I often do not receive Thrillshare messages. If you wish to reach me via email, please email directly at kburdet@dpsk12.net.
Thank you for your partnership,
Ken Burdette

2026-27 Discovery Link Registration |
We are excited to announce registration for the 2026–2027 Discovery Link and Little Links programs. Registration will open in phases by region, called Regional Rolling Registrations, and will then open for all sites and regions on May 5, 2026 at 6am. Families may choose to register during their school’s regional window or wait until May 5th when registration opens for all sites. This phased approach allows our team to review registrations and respond to families more efficiently.
Two Opportunities to Register:
Regional Rolling Registration - April 13-17 (Opens at 6am on the 13th)
Register during your school’s assigned regional week window.
OR
Open Registration for All Sites – May 5
Register on or after May 5, when registration opens for all schools and regions.
For questions or more information, please visit the Discovery Link website or reach out to Ellie Hoffman, Discovery Link Program Supervisor, at elizabeth_hoffman1@dpsk12.net or 720-413-5891.

The Steckretariat Fun Run 2026 is just a few short weeks away on May 8th! All are welcome to come out to cheer on our amazing students as they run, dance, and have fun.
This is our only student-led fundraiser of the year, so we encourage your kiddos to reach out to grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends to help support their beloved school.
Our goal this year is to raise $35,000 for the PTSA, with funds going toward a new swing set for the main playground.
