 Stone Families,
As we observe Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave individuals who gave their lives in service to our country. We are deeply grateful for their sacrifice and dedication.
Believe it or not, we have only 12 school days left until summer vacation! These final days will be filled with exciting events and important celebrations.
Last week, we wrapped up our final Spirit Week of the school year. It was a wonderful way to celebrate the end of SOL testing and recognize the incredible staff and students of Stone MS. I especially enjoyed the "underground" staff spirit week—which ended with me having a secret service escort. It was a fun and memorable week for all!
Looking ahead, here’s what’s happening this week:
Monday, May 26: NO SCHOOL – Memorial Day Holiday
Tuesday, May 27: 8th Grade NJHS Pinning Ceremony 6:30 – 7:30 PM | Stone MS Gym
Wednesday, May 28: Spring Music Concert 7:00 PM | Stone MS Gym
Thursday, May 29: Farmside Kitchen Fundraiser Night Support our school while enjoying a great meal!
Friday, May 30: Music Department Field Trip to Hershey Park Students will enjoy a well-earned day of fun !
Saturday, May 31: Spring Track Championships 8:30 AM | Robinson Secondary School
Did you know that Summer VIP Camp for Middle Schoolers is BACK!!!!! Please consider registering: Registration for VIP Camp for Middle Schoolers Begins May 14 | Neighborhood and Community Services
Let's have a great week Panthers,

🥗 Don’t Forget to Check Your Student’s Lunch Balance!
As we approach the end of the school year, it is important to remember to check your students’ MySchoolBucks account and pay any remaining school meal balance.
Families that earn less than 185% of poverty level qualify for free and reduced-price meals. However, an application must be completed and submitted each school year to receive that benefit. The application for the 2025-26 school year will be available this summer.
If families have a current balance and think they may be eligible for free and reduced-price meals, please fill out the FRM application for the 2024-25 school year. Get more information about free and reduced-price meals.
Student Testing Results Coming Soon
Throughout May and June, you will receive your child’s spring assessment results. If you aren’t sure what assessments your child took this year, there is a list of tests by grade level on the FCPS website.
How the results are delivered depends on the test. Scores will be delivered in SIS ParentVUE or from the school or testing organization. Learn what to expect regarding assessment reporting practices and timelines.
Visit FCPS’ website for additional information about how test results are reported to families. Individual test websites provide report translations and help for interpreting test results. Please contact us with any testing questions or for additional information about how we use test results to support student success.
Support Your Child’s Success in SIS ParentVUE
Signing up for a SIS ParentVUE account helps you to support your child’s academic success! Caregivers can view important information like attendance, grades, progress reports, and assessment scores through ParentVUE.
Once you have activated a ParentVUE account for an FCPS student, you will keep the same account until the student graduates. Information about students in the same family can be accessed through the same ParentVUE account. A SIS ParentVUE app is available for Apple and Android devices.
