From the Principal

Dear Steele families,

Thank you to everyone who celebrated Holi with us this week! We appreciate your participation in making it such a meaningful community event.

As we head into spring, we have some nice things planned for our students and families.

Please save the date for our Steele Showcase on Thursday, May 7th from 4:00–5:30 PM. This is a great opportunity to see the work students have accomplished this year. The event is open house style, so feel free to come when you can and stay for as long as you'd like.

We hope to see you there!

Keep Steele Healthy! 

Just a reminder that there are lots of bugs going around the school.  If your student vomits, has diarrhea or a fever, they must be 24 hours symptom-free before returning to school.  This is the policy that DPS has in place to ensure minimal contagion to other students and teachers.  

Please refer to this document for more information. 

Thank you for your diligence. - The Health Office
