eStem Elementary Families,
Be sure to save the date for some exciting upcoming activities. First, on Thursday next week, we will have individual picture day! Students may dress out of uniform on this day for their portrait. These will be the photos we use in the yearbook. Order forms are coming home and online ordering information is included in this email.
Next up, we have Grandparents Day on September 5! We love celebrating our grandparents and special friends! We will send a detailed schedule closer to the date.
The next big event will be Family Night on September 16! At family night, you will be able to visit the classroom, see what your child has been working on and play some games. We hope to have several food trucks and fun activities for kids and adults!
Be sure to look for the newsletter from Mrs. Bravo each Friday for all the details to upcoming events.
Have a great Thursday!

eStem Elementary Families, just one more reminder that the elementary school WILL NOT have an open house on Saturday. Only the junior and senior high schools will. We will see you at our orientations on Monday and Tuesday.

eStem Elementary Families, our K4 building is still without power which means no internet, no phones and no emails for both K4 and 5/6 buildings. We are canceling the orientation for 3/4 grade tonight. We are posting the new schedule here and also emailing all families. We sincerely thank you for your patience, understanding and flexibility.

eStem Elementary Families, due to a power outage at our K-4 building, we will have to cancel the orientations for tonight. They will be rescheduled to Tuesday, July 29th with 1st grade at 5:15 pm and 2nd grade at 6:30pm. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for understanding!

Hello! We will still have our lunch and learn at 12:30 in the MPR/cafeteria.

Hello eStem Elementary Families! This week we begin our Grade Level Orientations. Tonight, Tuesday, July 22nd, we will hold our Kindergarten Orientation beginning at 5:15pm in the Multi Purpose room in the Upper Elementary building (123 W 3rd Street). Look for the green balloons! After orientation, you will be able to meet the teacher, drop off supplies and purchase eStem shirts in the Multi Purpose room at the Lower Elementary building (right across the street). We can't wait to see you!

eStem families, we are excited to share that our students' ATLAS test results are now available in the ATLAS Family Portal! The Family Portal enables parents and guardians to view their students’ ATLAS test results online. These results are for students in 3rd - 10th grade last school year. To access the Family Portal, each family member needs an Access Code that is unique to their child. Your child’s Access Code has been emailed to you. You can access the Family Portal login page directly at https://ar-familyportal.cambiumast.com/#/.

Whoops! Of course we find the mistake after posting the graphics! The picture of our dismissal information should have said "Right At School Afterschool program" instead of IGNITE Afterschool program. Apologies for the mistake! :)

Dear eStem Families,
It is with great excitement and pride that I introduce myself as the Director of our newly merged school community. This marks my seventh year as a school principal, and I bring with me over 20 years of experience in education. I am honored to lead our students, staff, and families into this next chapter—one that brings together the strengths, traditions, and bright futures of both schools.
This year marks a fresh start as we form one united school focused on creating a nurturing, engaging, and academically excellent environment for every child. Our dedicated leadership team, teachers, and support staff are already hard at work preparing for a joyful and successful school year ahead. Please be aware of the campus location changes:
• East Village Elementary School and Downtown Elementary School will be consolidated into eStem Elementary School. eStem Elementary School will serve all K-6th-grade students at our campus on West 3rd Street, with lower elementary grades in the Gazette Building (112 W. 3rd St) and upper elementary grades in the Federal Reserve Building (123 W. 3rd St).
• Downtown Junior High will be renamed eStem Junior High School and relocated to the smaller eStem building in East Village (400 Shall St.). eStem Junior High School will continue to serve 7th and 8th graders.
• eStem High School will relocate from its current location on the campus of UA-Little Rock to the larger eStem Building in East Village (410 Shall St.). eStem High School will serve 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th graders.
I truly believe in the power of partnership between school and home. As we begin this journey together, know that your voice matters, your involvement is valued, and your child’s success is our shared goal. I look forward to connecting with each of you—at orientations, in the car line, at school events, or just around campus.
We can’t wait to welcome your children on their first day and build a school year full of growth, discovery, and community spirit!

Dear Parent/Guardian, We are reaching out to remind you that your student still has a school-issued laptop that needs to be returned as soon as possible. Please return the device to the school during regular hours this week. If you have any questions or need to make special arrangements, feel free to contact Mrs. Peterson at allyson.peterson@estemschools.org Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
