Principal's Message
Hello Stetson Families,
Happy Friday. I hope everyone had a good week and is looking forward to the weekend as much as I am. Starting on Monday, October 19th, our Interim schedule begins (school times differ--8:15 to 2:15). Please be sure to check the schedules listed below for Stetson Middle School as we approach our Hybrid Opening on November 5th.
Oct 19th - Oct 28th Interim schedule -- (elementary begins hybrid and transportation changes are required at all levels)
Oct 29th – Nov 4th 1/2 Day Remote Schedule
Nov 5th Hybrid Block schedule - ( B cohort will begin in-person learning)
(*Nov. 9th A cohort begins in-person learning)
Long Term Schedule for Cohorts
As we prepare for our hybrid opening, we need to finalize Stetson's transportation schedules. We would appreciate it if everyone would please complete this bus survey Form. This will help us plan for the volume of cars entering our campus at the beginning and the end of the day. Students should not be dropped off before 7:45 am at the building.
Finally, we wanted to share a reminder about the A and B cohort groups. Families with the last names A-K are assigned to cohort A and those with last names L-Z are assigned to cohort B.
Thank you for everyone’s support as we transition to in-person instruction through Hybrid Learning. Our faculty and staff are looking forward to welcoming students back to Stetson. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
Have a great weekend,
Mrs. Puchalla

Message about Attendance--Cyber & Remote Learners
When a student misses class due to a doctor appointment, please email the teacher whose class they will miss and Mrs. Sadik (lsadik@wcasd.net) in the Attendance Office. Please ask the doctor for a note and email/scan a copy of the note to Mrs. Sadik so the missed time can be entered as excused.
Reminder that students are to attend all FOUR classes each day. If they miss 2 out of the 4 classes, they are officially marked absent for the day.
If you child is going to be absent for the entire day, we need a picture of a written note with your signature in order for the absence to be excused. Any email without a signature will no longer be acceptable for an excused absence.
