Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,

As we head into the final stretch of the school year, we want to start by thanking all of you for your incredible support, energy, and partnership. It has been a wonderful year, and we are so proud of everything our students have accomplished!

To ensure our campus remains a focused, safe, and positive learning environment over these next few weeks, we need to work together as a team regarding school attire.

It has come to our attention that several unofficial, student-created "theme days" have been circulating on social media. While we love our students' creativity and school spirit, the school does not have any planned theme days for tomorrow or the remainder of the school year.

Because these days are not school-sanctioned, we cannot monitor what is being planned, ensure student safety, or verify that the outfits will align with campus expectations. For this reason, all students are expected to wear regular, dress-code-compliant school attire every day for the rest of the year.

Parents, we kindly ask for your help in enforcing this at home by talking with your students before they head out the door in the morning. Please note that students who arrive out of dress code will face standard school consequences.

We want to finish this year strong, focused, and united! Thank you so much for your cooperation, your teamwork, and your help in keeping our school community running smoothly until the very last bell.

Warmly,
Kitty Hawk JSTEM Principal
Scott Wilson

🎨✨ Celebrating Our District Art Show Success! ✨🎨
Last week’s District Art Show was an incredible success! We are so proud of the hard work, creativity, and dedication our students poured into their artwork. From vibrant paintings to detailed sculptures and everything in between, the talent on display was truly inspiring.
A huge thank you to our amazing art teachers for nurturing these skills and to our families and community members who came out to support our students. Your encouragement means so much!
We are fortunate to have such talented young artists in our district—your creativity makes us all proud! 💚👏

🎨 Proud Moment for Our Art Club! 🎨
Yesterday, several of our Art Club students were recognized for creating a sculpture/installation inspired by a McNay Art Museum piece. Their work will be on display at the McNay for a year—an incredible achievement!
So proud of these talented students! 👏

🎉Congratulations to our Flyers softball girls' team!! 💚

Dear Kitty Hawk JSTEM Families and Staff,

We have officially entered the "home stretch!" Following the completion of our End-of-Year assessments, I want to take a moment to celebrate our students. Their focus and stamina during testing were truly impressive, and these milestones serve as a powerful testament to a full year of academic growth and perseverance.

As we move into the third full week of May, the energy on campus is shifting from pencils and screens to creativity and hands-on innovation. We are currently in the midst of PBL Week, where students are putting the final refinements on their project-based learning assignments. This is always a joyful time at JSTEM, as we get to see the deep, critical thinking our students have mastered throughout the year.

We have a busy and exciting calendar ahead—from fine arts performances to our highly anticipated PBL Showcase and our upcoming awards ceremonies. Please take a close look at the schedule below to ensure you don’t miss a moment of celebrating our students' achievements.
