FALL CONFERENCE TIME (CAN-SEE'S)
PLEASE CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENTER THE ONLINE STORE... HAPPY SHOPPING!
Hello STEM - Saratoga Parents,
On Thursday, October 29th from 10:30 - 3:00pm the Saratoga staff will be hosting parent and teacher conference opportunities for any parents interested in meeting with their student’s teachers. Please sign up for one ten minute time slot using the sign up link that will be posted on our website at 12:00pm today (that's in about 75 minutes). Conferences will be conducted virtually using the links posted on our website. On the day of the conference, parents will access the teacher’s virtual classroom at the time of the meeting. Once the staff member is ready for you, he or she will “let you into the classroom,” which is essentially that virtual space, where the meeting will be hosted. We would appreciate your punctuality as we need to ensure that each time slot is honored. Please see the notes below about signing up for your student’s teachers. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your student’s teachers and we'd be happy to help out.

SPECIAL NOTES FROM A FEW TEACHERS:
- Please ask your student who they have as a teacher, as the teacher listed on Infinite Campus may not be their teacher currently (if there are rotations). This would be especially true for our STEM - Pathways teachers and our team teachers of Math, Science and Literacy.
- Mr. Hoffmann and Mr. Sonier co-teach Science, so please only sign up for only one of them.
- Mrs. Oakland and Ms. Owens co-teach Literacy, so please only sign up for only one of them.
- Ms. Grosskopf and Mrs. Hemphill co-teach Algebra, so please only sign up for one of them.

CHECK OUT STEM IN ACTION!
CLICK ON IMAGE TO CHECK OUT OUR BOOK SELECTION & OFFERINGS AT STEM
Throughout the year, several families have inquired about how library books are selected for our students at STEM. Without getting too granular, our team of Library Media Specialists annually review hundreds, if not thousands of texts, titles, and genres each year through professional resources including School Library Journal, Booklist, and Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC). Out of these, age-appropriate texts are selected and purchased for each school and utilized and read throughout the year (and beyond). At STEM - Saratoga, for example, there are texts such as the Young Authors collection, which are geared for students who are "Young Authors" and in their middle school years. As they get older, the text selection and offerings will differ slightly, as they mature and ready themselves for more mature content and more difficult, rigorous reading selections.
Part of working with our families on keeping everyone in the loop, is to make available the texts that are present for our students, so we have placed a link to our SDW "Card Catalog" on our STEM - Saratoga website, which is called Destiny Discover and is online. This is a web-portal for our students to search for a book based on title, author, genre, etc. and we wanted our parents to be able to see the texts that their students are able to check-out. If at any time, there is a text or a subject matter that you feel is not appropriate for your student(s), please do not hesitate to reach out and let us know, so that we may have a conversation and come up with a solution that works out in the best interest of the student, but also falls under the wishes of the parent(s). Many of these texts may serve as a great learning opportunity for our students [and parents], so we want to make sure that parents are aware of what their student is reading both in and out of school.
Please check out the LINK to the online resources and as always, please reach out with any inquiries.
Thanks so much!
