Northwestern STEM Middle School

Our Mission: To provide a safe and supportive environment in which students are prepared for high school and beyond!

Northwestern STEM Middle School is proud to announce that we have received a $2,100 grant from The Calhoun County Conservation District and The USDA’s People’s Community Gardens of Southwest Michigan! Grant funds will be used to create a wildlife habitat garden in the center courtyard. In addition to beautifying the courtyard, this garden will provide an outdoor classroom for our students to experience the concepts they are learning. Observing and collecting data for themselves in an outdoor setting is a kind of learning that evokes curiosity about the natural world and provides purpose for learning. This project will directly connect student learning to the real world and present STEM careers that relate to what they are learning. Furthermore, it is our belief that in doing this service learning project students will feel ownership in their learning and be even more committed to the school community. If you are interested in volunteering to help with this project please contact avanzee@battle-creek.k12.mi.us.

MEDICATION: All prescribed medications must have a written prescription form from the physician accompanying any medications given out to the students. Please make sure all prescriptions are clearly labeled, including inhalers. Inhalers must have a prescription on the box, or labeled on the inhaler without a box. This ensures us that we are administering the correct medications to your students. Thank you for your cooperation.
