Good morning Cavallaro families,

Helloooo October! With all of the items on our “To Do” list finishing up and initial baseline assessments completed, our teachers and students are settled in and ready to dive in to implementing standards-aligned curriculum – ensuring that we are all focused on setting high expectations, developing rigorous tasks that will tap into the depth of knowledge necessary to support our students as they make progress throughout the year.

Good morning Cavallaro families,

I hope you all faired okay and stayed safe and dry with weekend with the passing storm. Here is this week's information:

The Cavallaro STEM program with a concentration in Technology will focus on several major concepts relating to STEM and building 21st Century skills.

STEM ENGINEERING at IS 281 is all about preparing you for the Challenges of the Future.  Students learn and implement the Engineering Design Process in their everyday lives.

The STEM Math Talent Program is a perfect opportunity for students to learn about financial literacy, investing and entrepreneurship.

Through a formal study of a range of styles, techniques and genres, including their own social dances, students expand their perception of dance and demonstrate a variety of skills.
