Episode 5 of AeroStem Connection
Welcome back to the AeroStem Connection, your weekly podcast for all things AeroStem Academy. This is our fifth episode, and we have some important updates and a few special acknowledgments to share.
Progress Reports & Expectations
First, a quick but very important update: Progress Reports went out this morning! We want you to use these not just as a report card but as a conversation starter. Use them as a tool to sit down with your student and discuss their progress, celebrate their successes, and identify areas where they might need a little extra support.
Last week, as some of you know, we made the difficult decision to cancel Fun Friday. This was a tough call, but we felt that the level of kindness and respect was not where we expect it to be. I went to each class and had a direct conversation with our students, reinforcing that our expectations for kind words and kind actions will not be lowered. Our students are amazing, and we believe in them completely. We want to continue supporting not only their academic growth but their social-emotional development as well. We are confident that this week we will be back on track, and the hard work of our students will be reflected in their actions.
Paraeducator Shout-Out
On that note, I want to take a moment to give a very special shout-out to our paraeducators. We have four amazing paraeducators on campus, and they deserve so much praise. They work tirelessly every single day, supporting our students in the classroom and helping them achieve their goals. They are a huge part of our school’s success, and we are incredibly grateful for their dedication. Thank you to each and every one of you!
Our Growing Community
Finally, we want to be clear that no school is perfect. But we do strive to get better, individually and as an organization, every single day—just as we ask our students to. We truly believe this is a special place, and if you feel the same way, we’d be so grateful if you would share about us with your friends, neighbors, and on social media. Your kind words and support mean the world to us and help our community grow.
Thanks again for tuning in to the AeroStem Connection. We’ll be back next week with more updates. Until then, have a great week!
