Stonybrook Red Storm Forecast

Week of: January 13th

Dear Stonybrook Families,

Thank you for reminding your scholars to wear only jeans or khakis, not to wear jackets or hoodies in the building and to keep their cell phones and ear buds put away. The admin team had less issues to address concerning these things last week and were able to spend more time coaching and growing teachers.

Each grade level will be taking a class trip at the end of the spring semester. Information about the fifth grade end of year field trip went home with students on Friday. Payment for the trip is due in March so please take a look at the information provided.

Sixth grade information will be coming home this week.

7th grade parents, your scholar will be bringing home an informational flier regarding the upcoming class trip to Chicago that will take place this spring in March. Please read over the informational flier and if you are interested in your child attending, please do not forget to register on-line to save your child's seat on the travel bus. Information on how to register, costs, and trip details are all outlined on the informational flier that your child will be bringing home on Monday, January 13.

Morning Drop-off

As the weather becomes increasingly colder, it is important to review our morning drop-off procedures.

Students are not able to enter the building until 8:35 a.m. This is the earliest we can guarantee appropriate adult supervision.
Students should NOT be dropped off prior to 8:35 a.m. each day; if they are, they will be standing in cold temperatures until staff supervision arrives and students are let in to the cafeteria.

2019 Pesticide Notification Registry

The Indiana Pesticide Review Board has regulations that impact how school corporations may use pesticides on school grounds. MSD Warren Township follows these guidelines and we are inviting parents and guardians to join our Pesticide Notification Registry. By signing up for this registry, you will be notified via email at least 48 hours prior to a pesticide application at your child’s school, subject to certain exceptions. You will be invited to sign up for this notification each school year.

You will need to sign up for this notification every school year.

If you would like to participate, please complete the required form found at www.warren.k12.in.us.

High Ability Program

Warren's High Ability Program is designed to meet the unique academic needs of gifted and talented students. The curriculum in these classes is differentiated and faster paced and students will be working above grade level if they qualify. As a district, we look at all students in grades 1, 4, 6 and 8 to see if they qualify for the following school year based on eligibility criteria. Parent recommendations are considered along with achievement scores when determining placement in high ability. More detailed identification information can be found here. If you would like to complete a recommendation for the broad based planning committee to consider you can do so here 2020-2021 High Ability Parent Recommendation Form The parent recommendation form will be open until January 31, 2020.

Dress Code Change

Parents, we have made an adjustment to our dress code. Students no longer have to wear a collared shirt. Students can wear any full length shirt with a modest neckline that is free of inappropriate images and language. Pants still need to be khakis or jeans, no sweat pants, yoga pants or leggings. That is the only change to the dress code.

The new version is in the link below.

LET'S FIGHT THE FLU TOGETHER

Your decision to get a flu shot or not goes well beyond you. It also affects the many lives you touch...

Influenza ia a contagious disease of the respiratory tract (nose, throat, and lungs) that can lead to serious complications, including pneumonia and the worsening of other chronic health conditions. Flu symptoms may include fever, headache, extreme tiredness, dry cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, and muscle aches. The best way to protect your family from new influenza strains is to get vaccinated each year.

Please stay healthy during the coming Holiday Season by using good handwashing techniques and keeping the following areas germ free in your home:

1) Telephones (have you cleaned your cell phone lately?)

2) Appliances such as a refrigerator and microwave.

3) Faucets

4) Light switches and door handles.

5) TV remotes

Enjoy a Happy and Healthy Holiday season!!!

Thank you,

Sharon Larpenter R.N.
