Principal's Message
A Warm Welcome to the School Year!
Dear Students, Parents, and Guardians,
As we embark on a new school year, I extend a warm welcome back to our returning families and a special greeting to our new students and their families! Together, we are about to create another exciting chapter in our Barbara McClintock STEM school story.
This year, our theme is "Every Owl Matters and Every Minute Counts!" Like the wise owl, we will learn to value every moment and make meaningful choices that positively impact our community and those around us.
I want to emphasize the importance of regular school attendance. Our goal is for students to be present more than 90% of the school year, which means 17 or fewer absences. Remember, every minute counts, and those minutes add up to significant learning!
I encourage all parents and guardians to stay engaged with your child’s education. Your support at home and active participation in school events make a tremendous difference in your child’s success. Please keep an eye on our school calendar, Class DoJo, Parent Square (our new district information system), and your child’s reading log for important information, including our monthly parent-teacher ATP/PTO meetings and family events.
Let’s make this year memorable, filled with growth, laughter, and achievements. Together, we can create an environment where our students thrive and feel inspired to reach their full potential.
Here’s to a fantastic year for our McClintock Owl Community!
Brooke Schuldheisz
Principal of McClintock STEM Elementary
