Update from Principal Ken Burdette |
Greetings Steck Families:
I am happy to share that CMAS is completed and our students worked very hard and gave their best efforts. We now shift into the final weeks of the school year, with many exciting end-of-year activities. Today, some of our students participated in and showcased their many talents at the DPS Shakespeare Festival downtown. On May 8th, we have our annual Fun Run event and fundraiser. And don't forget Field Day on May 20th! Lots of fun activities and events coming up, and we need students on their best behavior showing the STARS traits to help make all of these a success. Please continue to encourage your students to show the STARS traits at school and to always show kindness to one another.
Have a great weekend,
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.

As we move into the last weeks of school, Steck staff is working hard to create fun and engaging learning experiences, celebrations, events, etc to ensure that all students feel a sense of belonging and fun even to our last day! We encourage you to keep attendance strong all the way until our official last day of school, a half-day, on Friday, May 29th.
Students who miss 1 day or less in the month of April will receive an April Attendance certificate and a colorful mechanical pencil! We are competing as Homeroom Classes to reach the highest overall attendance percentage for April. The winning class will get to have a class Kickball game with Mr. B!

Steckretariat Fun Run May 8th |
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.
