 Dear Stone Families,
We have had a great start to the new school year. Students are in classes learning about one another and experiencing the Stone community. Thank you all who were able to come out last week to our first ever open house back to school night. It was great to meet our new Panthers, returning Panthers and future Panthers.If you could not make it, please visit our Stone MS website and view our information under the Welcome to 2023-24 school year tab.
Throughout the school year, we will focus on our students strengths, talents and passions inspiring hope and goals with them. We ask that you help in this partnership by encouraging your students to explore their strengths, talents and passions. We believe ALL children are capable of success, NO exceptions! We hope you believe this too!
Our Stone Department of Student Services is looking for help in supporting students throughout the school year. Please take the time to fill out the short needs assessement (https://forms.gle/3dNuyQVbArp3q3jq6). By taking the time to provide us with valuable insights into your child's unique strengths, challenges and preferences, you have played an integral role in ensuring that we can offer the best possible programming and support for their educational journey. Your committment to open communication and collaboration makes a signaficant difference in tailoring our approach to meet your students' individual needs.
We look forward to partnering with you this school year!
Sincerely,
Sonya Williams
Principal
