Posted Date: 02/08/26 (11:00 AM)

Hello ASA Families! 💛🐾

Thank you to all of our families who came out to support our second graders in their Seussical musical performance. Our students did an amazing job and we are so proud of their hard work and enthusiasm—what a fantastic show! Another huge thank you goes out to our volunteers and especially our teachers for making the show magical.

As a friendly reminder, there will be no school on Monday, the 9th, in observance of Lincoln’s Birthday. We honor Abraham Lincoln for his leadership during one of the most challenging times in our nation’s history and for his commitment to unity, freedom, and equality.

This week will be a busy and exciting one as we look forward to our fourth- and fifth-grade performances. We can’t wait to see all the time, effort, and dedication our students have put into their shows shine on stage.

Lastly, please don’t forget to attend our upcoming Regular Board Meeting virtually or in person on our Fontana Campus. There will also be a PACK Meeting. this week in the Den.

We value your continued involvement and support. Thank you for being such an important part of our school community!

Warmly,

Ms. Holt

Student-Led Celebrations are Coming Next Week: What to Expect

At Allegiance STEAM Academy, we believe students grow most when they are empowered to reflect on their learning, share their progress, and take ownership of their academic journey. That’s the heart of our Student-Led Celebrations (SLCs).

Student-Led Celebrations are intentionally different from traditional Parent-Teacher Conferences. During SLCs, students take the lead—guiding their families through work samples, projects, or portfolios and reflecting on their learning, growth, and goals.

Please make sure that you are checking your teachers news letters to sign up for your students SLC! It will be next week 2/18-2/19.

What to Expect at SLCs

🌟 Social-Emotional Learning Focus of the Week: Anxiety🌟

This week, our Wolves are learning about anxiety — what it is, how it can show up in our thoughts and bodies, and ways to respond with understanding and self-compassion. Students are learning that anxiety is a common feeling and does not mean something is “wrong.” By naming anxious feelings and using calming strategies, children can build confidence and learn that they are capable of facing worries one step at a time. 🤍🐺⭐

Reflection Questions for Home:

What thoughts or feelings show up when you feel worried?
How does anxiety feel in your body?
What helps you feel safe and supported when you’re anxious?

🌈 Anxiety Support Activities for Home

1.Name the Worry

Encourage your child to name or draw their worry to help make it feel more manageable. 6.

2.Grounding with the 5 Senses

Identify something you can see, hear, feel, smell, and taste.

3.Teaching and modeling reassurance

Create a calming phrase like, “I can handle this,” or “I am safe.”

Supporting anxiety awareness helps our Wolves build confidence and emotional safety. 💛🐺⭐
