MSD of Steuben County

Elementary students are expanding their opportunities and sharpening their skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) through competitive robotics programs launched this year! Students are designing, building, and programming as they prepare for competition. Here’s a quick peek at one of our teams hard at work during practice. All elementary teams will be competing later this year—stay tuned as they put their skills to the test!

Happy President's Day- No School

Today is SRO Appreciation Day! If you see our School Resource Officers, take a moment to thank them for all they do to keep our students safe each day. We are thankful for the dedication Officer Lanoue and Officer Noll show to our schools and for our continued partnership with the Angola City Police Department and the Steuben County Sheriff’s Office.

The MSDSC may not have students in the classrooms today, but it will still be filled with learning as our teachers and staff dive into learning themselves. The staff will spend the day taking classes on everything from math and AI to creative tools and more—bringing fresh ideas and renewed enthusiasm back to the classroom!

Happy CTE Month

After finding the main idea of a biography about Jackson Pollock, Mrs. Kobelak’s classroom was transformed into an art studio, so students could create splatter art while listening to jazz music.

Tuesday Toast goes out to Trine Hockey! The elementary school gyms were filled with hockey sticks and balls as members of the Trine men's and Trine women's teams instructed our students in the exciting game of hockey. Although no ice was present, the students were able to learn and practice the skills of stick handling, passing, and, of course, goal scoring. Exciting and informative day for all! We are grateful for this opportunity and partnership! Thank you, Trine Hockey! Go Thunder!

National School Counselor Week!

Dalmatians took over Mrs. Fulton’s class for the 101st Day celebration! Students made puppy ears to wear and enjoyed special activities centered around the number 101. One of the activities had students counting out their snack one by one until they reached 101. Great learning and great fun! 🐶🎉

Yes you are seeing spots with the help of 101 Dalmatians, first graders, celebrated the 101st day of school. They completed activities all about the number 101. It was a day full of great fun, learning, and excitement for everyone! 🐶🎉

Yesterday brought students back into the classroom and gave us the chance to finally celebrate the 100th and 101st days of school! Kindergarten classes celebrated the 100th day by enjoying activity centers that focused on counting to 100. One activity asked students what they would buy if they had $100—the answers ranged from LEGO sets to unicorns!

Smiles filled the halls as students and teachers got back to work in the classroom today!

3 a.m. It’s still dark, snow is blowing, and temperatures are way below freezing. This is when Paul Hyska begins his day. Paul drives throughout Steuben County, checking road conditions to help determine whether it’s safe to put our buses on the road and bring students to school.
Snow and cold also mean early mornings for Robert Wilson and Logan Kellermeier, who begin the long process of clearing parking lots and playgrounds so staff, parents, and students can start their day safely.
Meanwhile, the rest of the maintenance team is hard at work clearing and salting walkways, making every entrance to our school as safe as possible.
Our school district could not operate without the dedication of these amazing individuals. Thank you to our entire grounds and maintenance crew—and to everyone who works behind the scenes to keep our schools running, even when our doors are closed. Because of you, when the storms pass, our MSDSC community is ready to come back to our buildings.
