Stenwood Hive Happenings

Hive Happenings Newsletter


May 27th  ~ Memorial Day ~ No school


Dear Stenwood Families:

Thank you for such a wonderful time at the Flip Flop Hop!  I was very touched by everyone’s kind words, well-wishes, and our celebration with two very large cakes!  Though moving on to the wonderful phase of life called retirement, I am none-the-less still quite emotional about leaving a school I so love.  Thank you again for celebrating with me on Friday evening. 

Just a few reminders…

Interested in hearing about the widening of I-66 as it pertains to Stenwood Elementary?  Please join us on the evening of May 28th from 6:00-7:00 for a meeting with VDOT officials and representatives from FCPS’ Office of Design and Construction.  The purpose of this meeting is to hear information and address questions specific to Stenwood Elementary (not the entire scope of the project).  Please note that the PTA newsletter listed the wrong times for this meeting; please note that the meeting begins at 6:00 and ends at 7:00.  Thank you. 

We will be live-streaming this year’s June 11th Variety Show on Twitter!

We hope everyone has a very relaxing time this upcoming three-day weekend.  Enjoy the outdoors and your time with family and friends. 

Sincerely,
Principal Dammeyer
Assistant Principal Riley

Tdap

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


Lost and Found

Last day to pick up your lost item from the Cafeteria is on June 13th.  We have LOTS of water bottles, lunch bags, jackets, coats, etc. Thank you!


Library

Calling all library books!  It’s that time of year again, Mrs. Cole needs to start rounding up library books.  All books are due back to the library by May 31st.  Students are still able to check out until that date, however, if they have overdue books, they will not be able to check out until the books are returned or paid for.  Please check with Mrs. Cole if you are unsure of your child’s library account.  Thank you.
