Dear Stone Families,
We hope you all have a wonderful memorial day weekend. We will welcome students back to school on Thursday, May 28, 2026.
As we come closer to the end of the school year, please remind your student that behavior expectations have not changed. We still want students to be Stone P.R.O.s (Prepared, Respectful, On Time).
Have a great weekend,
Sonya Williams
Principal
 💻 Chromebook Collection is Coming Soon!
It’s almost time to wrap up the school year, which means we will soon be collecting student Chromebooks. To ensure a smooth transition, please keep the following in mind regarding equipment:
-
Missing Chargers: If your student has lost their charger, there is a $29 replacement fee.
-
Payment Options: You can pay the fee via MySchoolBucks, or by bringing cash or a check (payable to Stone MS) directly to the front office.
Stay tuned for specific collection dates and times!

We kindly ask that you inform us if your child will not be returning to Stone MS or their currently registered High School for the upcoming school year. Please take a moment to complete the following Intention Form and submit it to Stone MS by May 1st, so we can proceed with appropriate planning.

SY25-26 HS Credit Course Expunge Form
Middle school offers the unique opportunity to expunge a high school credit course (HS math courses and World Language Courses). This means that there would be no record of this year’s grade on their high school transcript. Please review your child's third quarter grades and contact your child's school counselor for any questions. If you would like to start this process, here is the link to the Expunge Form.
SY26-27 Schedule Request Review
As students complete their SOLs and reflect on their growth and progress this year, we encourage families to review their child’s course requests in SISParentVue under Schedule Request before the school year ends.
Please take time to review the following math resources, and let us know if you have any questions. Any course change requests should be submitted as soon as possible and no later than June 5 by contacting your child’s school counselor.

Free and Reduced-Price Meals
Families who earn less than 185% of the poverty level qualify for free and reduced-price meals (FRM). However, an application must be completed and submitted each school year to receive that benefit. The application for the 2026-27 school year will be available this summer.
If you have a current balance and think you may be eligible for free and reduced-price meals, please fill out the FRM application for the 2025-26 school year.
