Welcome back, Spitfire Families!
I am excited to be joining a wonderful crew of educators, students, and families this September at Steele Street PS. I couldn’t be happier to be the Principal! I look forward to meeting each of you over the course of this year at drop-off/pick-up, Meet the teacher night and at other special events throughout the year!
We have been preparing for your return to school and have lots of different learning opportunities planned to spark curiosity, provoke wonder, and develop essential skills. We can’t wait to show you all the ways you belong at Steele Street!
If any parents/guardians would like to join the Parent Council or would like more information about it, please email [email protected] to express interest. There are lots of ways to participate and belong.
Looking forward to a fantastic year!
Andrea Newburn
Principal
