Hello Stone Panther Families,
We are just a couple of weeks from the end of the quarter. It is a critical time for students to complete any outstanding assignments . Your support as caregivers is greatly appreciated.
As the winter season is upon us, we want to remind everyone to be prepared for the potential winter related challenges. In the event of inclement weather, we will keep you informed of any closures, early releases and/or delays through our usual communication channels. Please encourage your student to dress appropriately for the weather and commuting to and from school.
Stone Middle School is committed to ensuring that all our students have the resources and support they need throughout the school year to reach their full potential in school and within the community. If you or your student are in need of clothing, food or school supply assistance, please complete confidential Needs-Based Questionnaire on our school website and a member of our Student Services department will be in touch. The questionnaire is entirely optional and confidential.
Let’s have a great week Panthers!
Sonya Williams
