Stonybrook Red Storm Forecast

March 1, 2021

From Principal Smith

Dear Stonybrook parents and caregivers,

Thank you for you continued support. As a parent myself, I understand how challenging it is to work and raise children. Your hard work is life changing though, and we appreciate being able to partner with you to get your scholars ready for high school and beyond. Please reach out if you have a concern or suggestion.

NWEA

This week we will give the NWEA Math assessment. Please encourage your scholars to take their time and put forth maximum effort during both test. The data from the test gives us very specific details regarding what each students has learned and what skills/knowledge they still need to be taught. Their teachers will use this data during small group instruction to target their areas for growth.

Have a wonderful week!

Mr. Smith

If your child is going to be absent from school

I would like to remind our students and families that attendance may look different depending on your model. That being said, attendance is an expectation and a critical indicator of a student's success in school. If a student is going to be absent from IN-PERSON or VIRTUAL, please make sure you contact your child’s school.

School District Publications/News Media Use

The occasion may arise when the school district wants to recognize your child or Stonybrook. This may include your child's photo, your child's name or your child's work in district publications, newsletters, on school district websites, and in electronic/social media or in staff training videos. We may also want to tell the media (including newspapers, television, and radio) about your child's achievements. We never knowingly release information about a student to anyone who wants to use it for commercial/political purposes. However, we will honor your request to not include your child in these types of recognitions if you notify our office in writing that you do not want this type of information released
