Dear Stenwood Families:
It’s
so nice having your children back in school!
We need your help now, and I’m
returning to my days as a teacher and assigning some homework, though this time
to parents, that would benefit your children and our school if you attend to
this right away, please. It is—
To ensure adequate staffing for next
school year, our process actually begins now! Your child received a Student
Intention Form today. Please take a few minutes to complete the
form for each child currently
enrolled at Stenwood and have your child
return the form to school tomorrow.
Having information about your plans for next school year helps us to
solidify our numbers; our student numbers play a major role in the number of
teachers assigned to our school. Your
quick turn-around is appreciated. If you are uncertain of your plans, please
simply write a brief note explaining your uncertain situation.
In
addition, the annual Survey of Preschool Children was sent home as well. Please
encourage all of your neighbors with children of kindergarten age to contact
Mrs. Liz Wallen in the front office so that we can get all kindergarteners
registered soon for the 2018-2019 school year. And of course, if you have a
rising kindergartener at home, please fill out this form, too. This registration information, likewise,
helps to determine the number of teachers assigned to our school.
Likewise, if you have neighbors whose
children are older than kindergarten age who are talking about leaving private
schools and registering at Stenwood
for next year, please encourage your neighbors to contact Mrs. Liz Wallen now at 703-208-7600 or at ekwallen@fcps.edu.
Thank you for completing the forms
tonight and returning them tomorrow. We
really appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Principal
Dammeyer
Assistant
Principal Riley
Attention Parents of Kindergarteners—
