********************
Stacey High School GT students recently participated in an exciting STEM learning experience at "iFLY." They explored the biology of flight and discovered how STEM is integrated into various industries, shaping both education and career opportunities.
"During the trip to iFly, I learned that when falling at terminal velocity you will begin to fall with a constant speed and will not be able to go faster. I had also learned that skydiving is known as an "extreme sport" because of the strong impact it has on the body."

Supporting Your Child’s Learning With Technology Resources for Dyslexia
Wednesday, October 30, 2024 Session # 101167
9am-11am Virtual session # 103398
The research is definitive regarding technology and instruction for students with dyslexia. When students have access to technology, their overall performance improves. Technology tools allow students with dyslexia to be equal participants in school-based learning experiences. Technology is not to take the place of direct and explicit instruction but when technology is successfully integrated we can build students up and allow them to work at their capability. This session will provide you with information on multiple assistive technology tools to support your child's learning.
