Helpful Tips on Navigating the Sandwich STEM Academy Website

The STEM Parents’ Group has created this guide to the STEM Academy website. The website is full of information and of course, Mr. Newton and Mrs. Hebb and all the teachers and staff members want all families to easily find and use the information. 

WELCOME To: sandwichstem.weebly.com 

The Sandwich STEM Academy website is the official headquarters for Newton’s News, homework postings, announcements & updates, resource information, and PowerSchool log-in.   It will continue to be developed and modified to meet the needs of parents, students, and teachers.  This guide addresses the site in its current state of development.    It is highly recommended that you visit the site several times each week for updates – particularly in Newton’s News, STEM Teacher sites, and the Home Page.

Here are some helpful tips to highlight specific information you may find useful.  However, please take the time to explore the site on your own.

 HOME PAGE

  • Contact information for Dr. Booras, Mr. Newton, and Mrs. Hebb
  • General announcements
  • PowerSchool Parent/Student Portal
