At eStem, we believe students succeed when they have opportunities to receive focused, individualized support from their teachers or peers. eStem High School has started their Content Labs to give students just that! Content Labs give students time for extra teacher support, peer-to-peer tutoring, or enrichment classes. We are excited to see the positive impact this will have on our students!

Good evening DTK6 Families! Here is the link to this week's Director's Newsletter: https://5il.co/z8r8

At eStem, we believe students learn best by hands-on, engaging lessons and activities! Students in AP Environmental Science study ecological tolerances by asking the question - "How salty is too salty?" Students then measured different concentrations of salt solution and will monitor seed germination in two days. What a great way to apply a concept in a hands-on way!
