Hello Walnut Park STEM Family!
Can you believe it's already February! We survived the rains and the teachers' strike of January and look forward to all the happenings this month including many parent workshops and our Spring parent conferences.
We have finished our competition in the Local District East Robotics. I want to thank our Robotics team and Mr. Rivas for all their hard work.
Once again this month, I want to stress the importance of reading. It is one of our priorities as a school to improve reading skills and literacy levels. My principals's challenge to all our STEM family, both parents and students, is to spend at least 15 minutes each day reading for pleasure.
Our teachers are working on using cooperative learning structures and technology to increase student interactions and engagement. Every student has access to IXL online instruction 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Please take advantage of this powerful resource for individualized learning.
Once again, I am honored and thankful to be an educational leader here at STEM and I look forward to our continuing journey together towards excellence.
Adelante!
Joe DiLeva
