Good afternoon Stoller families,
Thanks to those of you that joined us for our yearly Renaissance Faire last night. It was was a huge success! I saw lots of amazing projects and performances from our 7th graders. Special thanks to our 7th grade teachers for their hard work and dedication in coordinating the event and supporting their students.
We have our All Grade Choir concert at Village Church coming up on Monday evening. See the information above in the "Calendar It" section.
Our 6th graders from Green Hall will be at outdoor school this week. This is their make-up session.
Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the beautiful weather.

Note from the Library
Chromebook Collection
The time has come to start thinking about turning in your child's Chromebook!
Chromebooks will be collected during the last week of school. Please make sure that your child has their charger and returns their Chromebook charged. Grade level return times are as follows:
- 8th Grade - Monday, June 10th
- 6th Grade - Tuesday, June 11th
- SCC - Wednesday, June 12th
- 7th Grade - Thursday, June 13th
The charger is NOT covered by the Chromebook insurance. Please make sure that it is an Acer or PWR brand charger 65W. Any student who does not turn in a charger with their Chromebook will be fined $15 on their library account. You can also help your child remove any personal stickers (only using electronic friendly wipes) and assess any issues with their devices for reporting on the turn in day.
Thanks in advance for all your help!
Recycle Your Old/Dead Markers
Yearbooks
Yearbooks will be distributed Thursday and Friday, June 13th and 14th (the last 2 days of school). You may pre-pay using the online payment system or bring a check to the Main Office made out to Stoller Middle School with "yearbook" written in the memo prior to June 13th. Yearbooks are $15.
Math Acceleration
Last Reminder...
***Only students looking to skip classes need to fill out a form.***
Academic course offerings and class sizes are dependent on student placements made during spring forecasting. The classes you select will be final unless changes are required due to work that will be completed during the summer.
Historically, many Stoller students have desired to to accelerate math levels over the summer. This required students' schedules to be adjusted in the fall, causing large class sizes. In an attempt to plan for these uncertainties, all students who plan to test for Math acceleration need to fill out the attached form and return it to the main office. Please include a brief description of the plan your family has discussed to ensure your child meets the learning targets offered in the class they are attempting to accelerate past.
The form must be completed and returned to their math teacher prior to June 7th, 2019.
Please note, due to some changes in the school calendar that were released this week we have adjusted our testing dates to:
August 20, 2019 from 1-3 p.m. or August 29th, 2019 from 9-11 a.m.
Message from Stoller PTO
The 8th Grade Celebration will be Friday, June 14th. The celebration starts at 11:40 am with lunch being served, followed by an afternoon of games and socializing for all 8th graders. This is a student only event, but we need several volunteers to help make it a success. Early next week volunteer sign-ups will be made available via email. We will need help setting up, serving lunch, running activities and of course cleaning up. The party wraps up at 3:15 pm, so we anticipate most of the work will be done by the time the students are dismissed at 3:50 pm.
