Community Education, full stem ahead!

{E-Stem} What is E-STEM? On May 7, 2012, the Prior LakeSavage Area Schools school board approved a proposal that will make all of our K-5 elementary schools the first district-wide E-STEM schools in the state of Minnesota. E-STEM stands for Environmental Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. The district defines E-STEM as follows: An interdisciplinary approach to instruction and learning focused on inquiry and real world problem-solving in the 21st Century, applying hands-on science, technology, engineering and mathematical practices with projects and field experiences related to the environment.

Interdisciplinary, hands-on, and field experiences are words that describe E-STEM instruction, but they can also be used to describe Community Education (CE) youth activities! CE strives to provide interactive programs for youth learners, and has for many years. Now we are doing this while adding a focus on more classes and programs that directly relate to science, technology, engineering, and math principles. You’ll find a train tracks icon by the classes we’ve designated as E-STEM. While we are deliberately recruiting E-STEM instructors, we are continuing to provide opportunities for students that excel in sports and the arts as well. Our well rounded offerings aim to serve the diverse needs and interests of our community. Please let us know if you have any questions about our programming or you have ideas for new offerings! We hope you’re ready to head “Full STEM Ahead” to read through the catalog, mark your favorites, and register for our programs. Sincerely, Carrie Dobie Youth Programs Coordinator Look for this icon throughout the catalog.

Come discover the world of E-STEM through a Community Education Youth Class.

Join the league that will provide “The hardest fun you’ll ever have!” FIRST LEGO League (FLL) is a robotics program that will get you excited about science, math and technology! Teams of 8-10 students will be formed. Each team will be given the same LEGO MINDSTROMS kit to use, a Robot Game Challenge, and a project; an actual real world issue that needs to be solved. Your team’s goal will be to come up with the best solution for each piece of the challenge. Please note: While this program is intended to be fun for all participants, it is a team competition and its success requires that all members be committed to fully participating. This is more than building with LEGOS. The competition includes the building of a group robot, a research project, and the development of a presentation. FIRST recommends successful teams meet for a minimum of 40 hours between the time kits arrive in early September and the date of the competition in November or December. First Lego League Coaches: All teams are youth led, but each requires 2 adult volunteer coaches. Training sessions are available and no experience is necessary. Teams cannot run without volunteer coaches. Coaches set the meeting schedule for each team. Signing a student up with 2 coaches is the only way to guarantee a team will exist for your student and that the meeting times will fit your schedule. KingTec 2169 members (from the PLHS Robotics Team) will host 2 Build Nights to help teams problem solve. Team entry fees for optional regional competitions will be required if teams choose to compete. This program is offered in partnership between Community Education and KingTec 2169.

District, Jeffers Pond Named 2013 U.S. Dept. of Education Green Ribbon Schools This spring our schools received two very prestigious awards and national recognition for our commitment to environmental education. Jeffers Pond Elementary is one of 64 schools in the nation that received a Green Ribbon School designation from the U.S. Department of Education. Additionally, Prior LakeSavage Area Schools is one of 14 districts in the nation to receive the Green Ribbon Sustainability Award. PLSAS received the awards based on its commitment to reduce environmental impact and utility costs, promote better health, and ensure effective environmental education, including civics, STEM and green career pathways. We were honored to be invited to Washington D.C. to receive the awards last June. Now, this fall, our award plaques will be proudly displayed in all of our schools for the public to see. Our environmental education focus remains strong today thanks to the leadership of our school board, Left to Right: Don Yu, U.S. Department of Education; Todd administrators, Sorensen, School Board Chair; Sara Aker, Redtail Ridge teachers and parents. Teacher; Amy Kettunen, District Curriculum Coordinator; Together we have Dr. Sue Ann Gruver, Superintendent; Adam Honeysett, U.S. made environmental Department of Education education part of our culture. By embedding environmental education into our core curriculum, we are seeing students not only have an appreciation for the outdoors, but they are becoming critical thinkers and approach problem solving by studying multiple perspectives. We are proud to say that we are expanding this focus through E-STEM initiatives. Our K-5 elementary schools are the first district-wide E-STEM schools in the state of Minnesota. E-STEM stands for Environmental Education, Science, Technology Engineering and Math. E-STEM offers an interdisciplinary approach to instruction and learning focused on inquiry and real world problem-solving in the 21st Century, applying hands-on science, technology, engineering and mathematical practices with projects and field experiences related to the environment. This fall visit our website for videos that showcase E-STEM in action in our classrooms and be sure to check out our Community Education classes that bring E-STEM to life through fun, hands-on activities.

Students will eat snack (provided by CE) with KC. CE class instructors will pick up registered class participants from Kids’ Company. • Pick up your child in the classroom at the class ending time. Security codes will be issued to parents on or before the first day of class (at locked buildings). If you cannot pick up on time, you are expected to make other arrangements for your child ahead of time. Late pickups are subject to a fee. • Inform the instructor AND a Community Education staff person of any allergies, special needs, or behavioral concerns that may help us to provide the best environment and instruction for your child and the other students enrolled. • The behavior of students is expected to be appropriate for the class learning environment. The instructor and Community Education staff reserve the right to dismiss students immediately, without a refund, when behavior is not appropriate or jeopardizes the safety of them or other students. Should this become necessary, parents will be contacted and expected to pick up children immediately. Please Note: These procedures have been modified for Fall 2013.
