Our STEMM stingers wrapped up the first quarter with a cool treat from the Kona ice truck! It was a fun and refreshing way to celebrate everyone's hard work and end the first nine weeks with a smile!
Congratulations to our Students of the Quarter, chosen for exemplifying our Core Value of Citizenship. These students consistently show what it means to be positive members of our school -- helping others, showing respect, and making our school a better place for everyone.
We are proud to announce that Mrs. Son, our sixth grade ELA teacher, has been chosen by her peers as STEMM's teacher of the year! Her dedication, creativity, and commitment to students inspire both colleagues and learners every day. Congratulations, Mrs. Son!

Dear STEMM Parents,
We are currently experiencing heavy thunderstorms, and the safety of our students is our top priority. As a precaution, we have advised students who walk home to call you and make alternative transportation arrangements if the weather continues.
Please note that we cannot allow students to walk in conditions with lightning, and the local library has requested not to accept wet students.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!

Beagles and bloodhounds! 🐕🦮A fun visit today by K-9 units from Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office and the Department of Corrections. We learned about tracking, detecting, searching, and training.
The Okaloosa County School District has been made aware of scam phone calls targeting parents. In these calls, individuals falsely claim that a student has an outstanding lunch balance and instructs the parent to "press 1" to make a payment immediately.
Please be advised:
• The Okaloosa County School District does not contact families by phone to request payment in this manner.
• Any legitimate communication regarding student meal accounts would come through official district channels.
• In the recently reported case, the scammer provided incorrect student information and used what appeared to be a local phone number, which may have been spoofed.
If you receive a suspicious call, do not provide personal or payment information. Instead, hang up and contact your child's school or the district's Food Services Department directly for verification. Thank you for helping us keep our families informed and protected.
STEMM will have an early dismissal on the last day of school, Thursday, May 29. Students will dismiss at 12:55.
