Dear Stenwood Families:
Thinking ahead to dates to ensure you have marked on your calendar…please make note of May 1st from 7:45-8:30 when we will host our annual Volunteer Breakfast. We hope that if you have served our school in any capacity this year (for example chaperoned a field trip, volunteered in the classroom, served on the PTA, cut out letters for a bulletin board for a teacher, served as a room parent, contributed to the grade level sponsored lunches, etc.), then you will plan on stopping by to join us for some coffee and a bagel or donut. We are so fortunate to have such amazing volunteers. In lieu of sending out separate invitations, as has been done in the past, we have decided instead to extend this invitation to our entire community, so as to be sure not to miss anyone who has contributed in a volunteer fashion to our school. Therefore, we do ask that you RSVP by calling the school office by close of business on April 20th. Because the event is happening prior to the start of school, please know that you are welcome to feed your children breakfast at home and bring them with you, as they will be in the story pit in the library enjoying a movie, while you enjoy visiting with our staff. I also we want to be sure that you marked your calendar for April 26th for our annual Curriculum Night when the entire Stenwood staff will be here to greet you.
If your child is definitely returning to Stenwood next school year or if there is a possibility of such, we offer you the opportunity to share any comments with me regarding class placement. Yes, our preparation for next year actually does begin now! Please see the message below:
Though every classroom is full of fun learning and is busy with the business of each day, at the same time, we are beginning to think and plan for next school year. The grade level teams, in conjunction with our specialists, Mrs. Hapangama, Mrs. Riley, and I will be working on tentative class groupings this spring, with classroom assignments finalized in late August. As we make these placements we consider many factors including individual student information, teacher input, and social relationships. Every class will have a blend of children with diverse needs, personalities, and learning interests. Due to the many factors we must consider in creating classroom placements, including the reassignment of some teachers to a different grade level and the hiring of new teachers, requests for a specific teacher cannot be honored.
If you have information that you believe is pertinent to your child’s placement for next year, please send a letter or email addressed to Peggy Dammeyer. If sending via email, it would be most helpful if you included the name of your child/children and respective current grade levels within the subject line of the email. The letter must be in the office by Wednesday, April 18th for it to be taken into consideration. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Principal Dammeyer
Assistant Principal Riley
