Dear Stenwood Families,
It was so great to see so many smiling faces today! Thank you to everyone who took extra precautions to make sure our students were safe.
A huge thank you to our amazing custodians! They reported to work early Tuesday morning to clear all of the sidewalks, ramps, and walkways to make sure we could return as soon as the roads were ready. We appreciate them so much, especially since they were one team member down!
We are looking forward to a full week together next week!

Bell Schedule Reminders
We have been noticing an uptick of late drop-offs at Kiss N Ride in the morning. All students need to be dropped off by 8:38 to be in class on time by the late bell at 8:40. Students will be marked tardy if they are not dropped off before 8:38. If you see the patrols heading to class - you are late. Kiss N Ride opens at 8:20. If students arrive after 8:38 they will be given a tardy pass.
Also, it is very important that only buses use the front entrance of the school from 8:20 to 8:38AM. Please continue to only use the Kiss N Ride for morning drop-offs unless your child is tardy.
Welcome Ms. Nagwan Mohamed
We were so lucky to gain an additional Instructional Assistant position. Ms. Mohamed subbed in our building for most of the month of December. We are so excited she is joining us.
Updated Strings/Band Concert Date
Due to a conflict with Kilmer’s Rising 7th Grade Orientation/Curriculum Night, we are shifting our concert date back one week so that families eligible to attend Kilmer, due to boundaries or programming, are able to attend both events. Our new Band/Strings concert date will be Jan. 30th. The times are still the same for the concerts and report times. If your child plays an instrument, you will get additional information about rehearsal changes from Mr. Zimmerman or Mr. Ravel.
