Principal's Message - 3/23/18

Stone MS

Dear Stone Parents and Guardians,

Hopefully you and your family enjoyed your two snow days this week!   It’s hard to believe that the first day of Spring brought 5 inches of snow to our area and our Spring Break is next week. The weather has been unpredictable and the year is flying by quickly.

This Friday, March 23rd we will send twenty-two of our students and four staff members off to London, England as part of our Distant Learning Program.  Our students will spend a week with students and host families from the Warriner School in Oxfordshire, England.  This is an excellent academic and cultural exchange for our students.  We know they will have a great time.

School will be closed March 26th through March 29th.  Students will have an added holiday on Monday, April 2nd as our school and office will be closed to the public for in-house professional development.

I wish all of you an enjoyable Spring Break. You truly deserve an opportunity to rest, relax and prepare for a strong finish to the school year. 

Best Regards,                                                                                                                   

Amielia Mitchell, Principal
