Good Morning Parents & Families: 

I can’t believe we have made it to April in the hopes some warmer weather will finally stick. I want to thank members of our NJHS for volunteering with our local VFW chapter last week, which is pictured above.)

Wishing each of you and your families some time to rest and recharge this Spring Break (April 4-8). This is a shorter message as we highlight a few things from the month of March and ask for your participation in two surveys as we reflect on quarter 3 and prepare for the last quarter of this school year. 

After spring break, I will share with you all the end-of-year events as there are many opportunities to come together as a school community to honor, celebrate and enjoy time together. As always, I welcome your feedback and suggestions, so don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly at mcnorris@fcps.edu

In the meantime, you can expect the next principal’s message to return on April 16, 2022. 

Thank you for your continued support and partnership,
Meredith Norris
Principal
Stone Middle School
