Middle School - Grades 6 & 7 Parent Information Night
Parents of new 6th and 7th grade students are invited to join us at 6:30pm on Tuesday, August 8th in the iSTEM Gym. We will address frequently asked questions and help parents with back to school transition.
Environmental Science students had the opportunity to apply their classroom experiences today with a field study/hike at Lake Metroparks Girdled Road Reservation. They concluded their day with an insiders view of the Perry Nuclear Power Plant.
This summer is a perfect time to take advantage of the iSTEM GO program that allows iSTEM students to ride Laketran for free. Whether you're going to work, headed to the beach for the afternoon or meeting up with friends for dinner -- Laketran can get you there.
Whether you plan on riding regularly, or want to have Laketran as a backup for times that your ride might fall through or your older sibling can't drive you, make sure to sign up before school is out so that iSTEM administration can get you registered.
On Sunday, a lively group of iSTEM seniors didn't let the looming chance of rain dampen their school spirit. The group showed off their car washing skills along with hosting a bake sale. Seniors came together to raise funds to cover costs for their activities during Senior Week. Activities during senior week include a picnic and hike at Lake Erie Bluffs and a few hours showing off their bowling and gaming skills at Round One.
A special thanks to all of the families who supported this event through volunteering donating car wash products and bake goods.
Be the one of the first to have an inside glimpse of our 8th grade science class and their geology/history mastery presentations. Even the shyest student in August has embraced the collaboration/communication habit and now presents with confidence.
ISTEM's Spring Dance

8th grade students try out their hand at building cars propelled by just a balloon. Future cars designers? Only time will tell, but at least they added to their knowledge base about the science behind propulsion.
8th grade students attempted the first run of their balloon cars. Looks like we have s few future auto designers.
ISTEM students attended a campus tour at Kent State main campus. I think we may have a few future Golden Flashes.
