 Dear Stone Families,
Next week we will be celebrating the month of the military child with a spirit week celebration.
Monday: PJ day
Tuesday: Team day
Wednesday: Camo day
Thursday: USA day
Friday Purple Up Day
We look forward to your students supporting our military families at Stone!
Starting on Monday, we will begin our "Beat the Bell" Challenge. For the month of April there will be a randomly selected class period choosen. The main office staff will review what classes from that randomly selected class period have zero tardies. Those classes with zero tardies will receive a treat from the Principal! All those classes will then be eligible for the end of the month raffle for a bigger prize like a pizza party or donut party. Please encourage your student to be on time to every class-every day. You never know which class period I might choose.

 2026 Special Education Family Conference
The 2026 Special Education Family Conference, Stronger Together: Connecting Families and Schools, will take place on Saturday, April 18, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Marshall High School.
Dr. Shelley Moore will deliver the keynote address on The Evolution of Inclusion. It will look at how the goals of inclusion have continued to shift and evolve, as we learn more about diversity and identity. Participants will be invited to reflect on their own contexts and consider next steps for advocacy and action.

 April Statewide Election: No School for Students
There will be no school for students on Tuesday, April 21, for the Virginia statewide election. Student activities, athletic practices, and events may proceed as scheduled.
FCPS will offer lunch and a snack at no cost to children aged 18 and under on April 21 at participating schools. The meals must be eaten on site, and enrichment activities will be available. For more information, visit the FCPS Food and Nutrition Services webpage.
Frozen Jr the Musicial and other extracurriculars and activities are made possible through the support of our community. FCPS gets about 70% of its budget through the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, and we hope to continue providing our students with the resources and opportunities that make our school division excellent when the Board of Supervisors finalizes its Fiscal Year 2027 Budget on May 5. Make your voice heard: reach out to your local representatives and share your ideas about funding public education. Learn more by visiting the budget webpage.
Thank you for helping sustain excellence at Stone Middle School and at all Fairfax County public schools!
