Dear Stenwood Families:
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 Friday, May 3rd for it to be taken into consideration. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Principal Dammeyer
Assistant Principal Riley

Thank you to all the wonderful volunteers for the Spring Book Fair. I could not have done this without you. I also want to thank all the Stenwood families who purchased books and supported our library. The library gets 25% fo the sales, so every purchase is appreciated. We hope to see you all again for our Fall book fair. - Mrs. Cole, Librarian |

Calling all Rising 6th graders:
Virginia Law requires that all students entering sixth grade receive a booster dose of the Tdap vaccine prior to the beginning of school. The Tdap vaccine protects against tetanus (lockjaw), diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough) and is usually given around the age of 11, although it can be given as early as seven years of age.
Please send in documentation of the Tdap to the front office staff as soon as possible.
Sixth grade students will not be allowed to begin school in August 2019 without submitting proper documentation

Also, please note, we will no longer be collecting batteries due to changes in the Fairfax County Recycling Program. Thank You! |
